Effective Collaborations: Navigating the Grey Space
Session Chair(s)
Andrew Townshend
Senior Vice President, Alliance Development, Syneos Health, United States
Research and development (R&D) partnership models are a common arrangement that can be found in small and large companies alike. While legal agreements provide the guardrails for those engagements, the success of a partnership can hinge on how well the alliance managers and relevant team members manage the grey spaces not explicitly covered in the pre-arranged contract. In this forum, we will talk through some areas that often fall into this grey space such as data ownership, firewalls, and governance committees.
Learning Objective : Identify areas that may not be commonly covered in collaboration agreements and learn how to effectively negotiate those spaces while maximizing the health of the collaboration.
