A Regulators view of how to assess a company’s Risk Culture and how is it being developed and sustained to prevent quality and drug shortage issues. A CEO perspective on assessing a variety of risks within a company. How does Quality Risk fits into the overall risk assessment and prioritizing resources? How important is it to build and maintain a Risk Culture in which risk can be identified within a company and its suppliers to be properly assessed and prioritized for proper mitigation?

    Moderator: Ghada Haddad, MBA, Executive Director, Global cGMP & Compliance Auditing Organization, Merck & Co., Inc.

    In 2005, the Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science Team (PRST), a research team based at the Dublin Technological University (TU Dublin) in Ireland, was established in direct response to the drive for a paradigm shift in quality from the international regulatory community. The PRST research emphasis is on the development of patient-focused strategies to enable those involved in the manufacture of drug products meet the evolving international regulatory expectations. The PRST research model is based on proactive engagement with global industry and regulators in order to explore and address the challenges and opportunities of implementing science and risk-based manufacturing approaches. This session looks at examples of how TU Dublin is collaborating with the Biopharmaceutical Sector and Regulators to carry out Doctoral level research into the role of effective QRM and KM in Product Realization for the 21st Century.

    Workshop 2: Choose Your Own Adventure: Managing Risk Communication
    Moderator: Lori Richter, Senior Consultant, ValSource, LLC

    Risk-based decision making can be demanding for leaders as they weigh both the benefits and challenges of taking risk in a regulated environment, where the patient is in the forefront of every decision. Communication is crucial to ensuring critical risk information is conveyed to the right people at the right time. In this session, participants will break out into teams at each table and work together to unravel a case study where decisions must be made, and communication must be clear. This workshop will be in the style of “choose your own adventure”, allowing teams to work through a case study and drive to various outcomes. Prepare for lively dialogue and critical thinking as your team traverses down the case study path and documents their rationale for the resolutions reached.

    In this facilitated report out, teams will discuss their decisions and communication pathways in their version of “choose your own adventure”.  The moderator will guide the discussion and ensure questions are answered and push the teams to provide robust rationale for their decisions. We will discuss the various outcomes of the scenario and how decisions may be different depending on the risk landscape.

    4:00 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.
