Case Study: Implementing Foundational RIM in a Small and Medium Size Enterprise – Does Size Matter? The Alexion Experience
Vahe Ghahraman, Head, Global Regulatory Operations, Alexion
While implementation of RIM (and even the description of RIM) may differ widely from one enterprise to another, the foundational needs and the RIM framework may not be that different. There are of course, many factors that impact the scope, requirements, timing, and the intended utility, among others that need to be considered in the ultimate strategy and approach for implementing a RIM. During this presentation, Vahe will look at the specific case of Alexion’s RIM scope, process and strategy as a small to medium global bio-pharma company, and will attempt to draw parallels and contrasts with others.
