Utilising our international know how and expertise, Impellam Project Services' established a thriving drug development team throughout Europe, one that enhances laboratory facilities, boosts productivity, and adheres to schedules and deadlines by employing strategic hiring and customised training initiatives.
The international capabilities of Impellam Project Services were crucial in forming a successful drug development team operating at various client locations in Europe.
Challenge
As its product development portfolio increased and constraints impacted its laboratory spaces throughout Europe, a worldwide vaccine manufacturer faced challenges in maximising the use of its existing labs and creating a productive and unified setting for its R&D staff based in three countries.
Their development process was falling behind schedule, and the current in-house management teams had restricted resources to properly oversee and educate any new scientific personnel.
Solution
Impellam Project Services’ approach to tackling the client's issues involved a thorough gap analysis that enabled the creation of specific deliverables and outcomes. This method helped to efficiently find and onboard 15 scientists through the company’s international capabilities, making sure they adhered to local laws and legislation throughout.
Recruiters fluent in multiple languages were crucial in identifying individuals with the right mix of technical and interpersonal skills to satisfy the client's requirements. Moreover, appointing a Senior Scientist or Team Leader at each site helped manage and maintain workloads and create unity within the teams.
To meet the project's deadlines, customised training programs and frequent online meetings were set up to facilitate coordination and ensure effective remote collaboration and time management. Within the confines of strict regulations, the efficiency of laboratory facilities, the use of equipment, and the processes were scrutinised to find ways to enhance efficiency at every step.
Outcome
Implementing this innovative approach led to numerous key advantages and transformations in the client's operations and performance, such as:
- The formation of agile teams that could quickly adjust to shifts in the pharmaceutical supply chain; essential for tackling the intricate regulatory and logistical hurdles of drug development in multiple countries.
- Integrating Impellam Project Services' teams into the client's research facilities significantly minimised delays and improved the efficiency of their lab space, enabling stakeholders to focus on strategic objectives.
- Oversight from an Operations Director, along with robust governance frameworks, ensured that the client was always aware of, and part of, the project's deliverables and outcomes.
- Financial clarity and budget compliance, achieved through a consistent monthly payment, further underlined the project's success.
