About this session
As clinical development continues to evolve, mid-sized biopharma companies face increasing pressure to accelerate trial delivery while operating with lean internal teams and relying on outsourced execution through CRO partners. In this environment, providing oversight is not enough. We must transform how decisions are made throughout study planning and execution. This session explores the evolution of the study optimization in an organization that connects feasibility, country and site strategy, patient recruitment, trial diversity and functional excellence. Attendees will learn how one mid-sized biopharma is re-designing its operating model to strengthen internal capabilities, improve governance, and create greater consistency in study planning without increasing operational complexity. The presentation will share practical approaches to embedding functional excellence into Global Clinical Operations, modernizing country and site distribution strategies through technology-enabled planning, strengthening oversight in a fully outsourced model, and fostering a culture that focuses on data, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement. Real-world examples will illustrate how organizational design, process optimization, and strategic use of data can drive more informed decisions during trial planning.
