Change, Transformation and Working at Pace

Summary

In this podcast episode on the topic of change and delivery at pace, Andy Murray interviews project delivery experts from the pharmaceutical industry: Denise Moody of the Pharmaceutical Industry Project Management Group, Fraser MacFarlane from GSK, and Danie Du Plessis of Kyowa Kirin International.

During their conversation, we learn:

• the imperative and the challenge of focus and prioritization
• how a highly innovative industry uses a mix of waterfall and agile against the backdrop of a strict regime of regulation
• why organisations die of indigestion rather than starvation
• how to manage projects in an industry where multiple projects will die, very few projects will get to success and where spending on projects is in the billions
• the challenge of bringing new critical projects into the portfolio and the need to terminate other projects to provide the requisite space and resources
• the opportunity to things faster by doing them concurrently, rather than sequentially
• the five Cs of successful change
