Change is hard—it can have far-reaching effects on people, systems, and mindsets. This is especially true in the pharmaceutical industry as it becomes ever more complex, decentralized, and outsourced. Before implementing a change—whether it be in our personal lives, organizations or systems—there needs to be a thoughtful plan mapped out to minimize damages. Fortunately, we’ve seen a massive boom in technologies that help to avoid a negative impact on product quality while implementing changes in the pharma industry.
