The document discusses lessons learned from using Cucumber acceptance tests. It describes challenges faced with early attempts at automation that just replicated manual tests, resulting in brittle tests. Collaboration between testers and developers was initially lacking. Over time, the team improved by focusing on executable specifications through behavior-driven development, keeping automated tests clean, DRY and abstracted. They learned test code is also production code. Quality is a team effort requiring collaboration at all stages of development.

Here are 3 key measures I would use to quickly assess the strength/performance of a procurement function:
1. Annual savings as a percentage of addressable spend - This tells me how effective they are at reducing costs.
2. Stakeholder satisfaction scores - This indicates how well procurement is meeting the needs of internal customers.
3. Supplier satisfaction scores - This shows how well procurement is managing relationships with external suppliers.
Getting feedback from both internal and external customers would give a good sense of how well the procurement function is performing in key areas. The annual savings metric quantifies the financial impact. Together these 3 measures provide a quick, high-level view of procurement performance.
The document discusses assessing the procurement function. It outlines various options for who conducts the assessment, what is assessed, and how the assessment is carried out. Some key points include:
- Assessments can be done internally or externally, and examine areas like results, processes, capabilities, and stakeholder opinions.
- Common assessment methods include metrics, interviews, questionnaires, and analysis of activities.
- Choosing an assessment approach involves considering feasibility, time/cost, credibility of results, and benefit.
- Examples mentioned are surveys by A.T. Kearney and IIAPS, and a potential review by consultants Peter Smith and Guy Allen using an OGC model.

Commercial Collaborations in BiotechnologyRaul Soto
This document discusses commercial collaborations between biopharmaceutical companies. It notes that the high costs of drug development, tight capital markets, and other issues are driving more collaborations. Favored models include non-competitive collaborations between industry and academia, as well as competitive collaborations where companies leverage each other's strengths. Technology enables multinational collaborations by facilitating sharing of data and resources. The case study of Proacta Therapeutics shows how collaborations can provide startups expertise and resources to commercialize their intellectual property.
This document provides strategies for product development and prototyping in startups. It discusses the importance of 1) knowing the target customer and their needs, 2) using appropriate resources and avoiding bleeding edge technologies, 3) ensuring the product and development team are high quality, and 4) budgeting enough time and funds to allow for reworks and adjustments. Observational research techniques and understanding the customer's full experience are key to identifying unmet needs. The document emphasizes the need to focus on the core product and avoid feature creep in order to launch successfully.

Training for a career in science begins with formal theoretical and practical instruction at an academic institution, often followed by advanced training and eventual employment also at an academic institution. This career path is one which has been historically taken by most scientists.
In recent years, increasing numbers of academic scientists are choosing commercial laboratories to pursue their research careers. This shift in career path is driven to a large degree by the eroding of financial support for academic scientists, as evidenced by the downward trend in the funding rate for grants submitted to the NIH, NSF, and private foundations. Perhaps the greatest challenge for an academic scientist contemplating a move to a commercial laboratory is to adjust their thinking of ‘doing science for science sake’ to ‘doing science for commercializing a product’.
This insightful Webinar will cover areas to be considered when making this career change, including the culture of the commercial laboratory working environment, career advancement, scientific recognition, mentoring, and availability of opportunities.
5 Key Take-Aways:
Similarities and difference between academic and commercial laboratory working environments
Suggestions on how to increase your autonomy and independence in conducting research at a commercial laboratory
How to ‘hedge your bets’ so that deadlines and milestones are reached
Balancing publishing and intellectual property generation
The difference in costs between academic and commercial laboratory research
Who Should Attend:
Any academic PI, scientist, post-doc, graduate student, technician contemplating a move from a university-based research laboratory to a commercial biotechnology or pharmaceutical development laboratory.
Provide Authority
Hold people accountable for what they can control

Effective Training
• Training is not just a one‐time event
• Training must be ongoing and reinforced
• Training must be relevant to job duties
• Training must be understood and applied
• Assess competency and provide feedback
• Training is an investment, not a cost

In recent years, increasing numbers of academic scientists are choosing commercial laboratories to pursue their research careers. This shift in career path is driven to a large degree by the eroding of financial support for academic scientists, as evidenced by the downward trend in the funding rate for grants submitted to the NIH, NSF, and private foundations. Perhaps the greatest challenge for an academic scientist contemplating a move to a commercial laboratory is to adjust their thinking of ‘doing science for science sake’ to ‘doing science for commercializing a product’.
This insightful Webinar will cover areas to be considered when making this career change, including the culture of the commercial laboratory working environment, career advancement, scientific recognition, mentoring, and availability of opportunities.
5 Key Take-Aways:
Similarities and difference between academic and commercial laboratory working environments
Suggestions on how to increase your autonomy and independence in conducting research at a commercial laboratory
How to ‘hedge your bets’ so that deadlines and milestones are reached
Balancing publishing and intellectual property generation
The difference in costs between academic and commercial laboratory research
Who Should Attend:
Any academic PI, scientist, post-doc, graduate student, technician contemplating a move from a university-based research laboratory to a commercial biotechnology or pharmaceutical development laboratory.

Deploying the iPad to Sales & Managed Markets Teams: Training and Effectivene...Best Practices
This document provides an overview and key findings from a benchmark study on deploying iPads to sales and managed markets teams. The study engaged 54 leaders from 45 healthcare companies. It examined best practices for training, systems integration, applications, usage and measuring effectiveness. Key findings include: starting with a pilot program; critical training on device and customer usage; syncing deployment with managed markets; ensuring relevant, updated content and apps; and issuing peripheral devices to increase comfort and usage compliance.

Introduction
The creation of successful products is essential for companies that want to grow or maintain a competitive advantage. Many organizations lack a clearly defined and understood product strategy. We will discuss the importance of the AIPMM Product Management Framework (PMF) to define and implement a process to conceive, plan and market your company’s products at each stage of their life cycle. We will identify key activities to align business and product strategy with unmet customer needs to create value for your business. We will describe the typical product life cycle from concept to launch and through product retirement. We will also discuss why growing organizations need to implement a formal product management process to support their product strategy.
Key Points:
* Why do you need to define a product strategy for your company?
* What are the benefits of implementing a product planning process?
* What do you need to create successful products consistently?

The document discusses how to design effective product training. It recommends starting with defining why training is needed and what skills and knowledge users need to acquire. It then provides an example of using instructional system design (ISD) to develop training for a new product called CR2 by defining learning objectives and mapping out what skills and knowledge will be taught and how. The training was highly successful in meeting sales goals and improving customer retention rates. The document emphasizes involving subject matter experts, focusing on skills before knowledge, and designing training for the audience.
