Tufts & CIS Analyses: Key Results

• Industry– Most Pharma’s using tactical, capacity-driven outsourcing– Key characteristics of strategic partnerships

• Formal needs and core capabilities assessment• Internal governance structures• Small number of carefully selected, partner-providers• Operating procedures focused on collaboration

• Otsuka– Outsourcing approach is tactical, capacity-driven – Too many CROs, providers– Multiple CRO governance structures– Too many required Otsuka competencies– Limited outsource management staffing and training
