How We Can Help You

Lead your pharma and medtech development projects

IPM will lead on-time product development projects for your core team or function, from research and development, to CMC, to commercialization and more.

With broad life sciences expertise and business context, we keep projects on track, customizing waterfall and Agile methods and tools to the needs of your teams, programs, and organization.  

Enhance your product development capabilities

IPM gets to the heart of product development challenges right from the start. A thorough analysis will identify gaps and risks—and strengths—across your organization. From there we’ll help you establish or improve the infrastructure and governance needed to enhance decision-making, break down functional silos, and prioritize programs and projects. IPM will tailor tools, training, and waterfall, Agile, or hybrid methods to improve your ability to quickly launch life-enhancing products. If needed, we can provide project portfolio management leadership or establish a project management office to guide execution.
