Optimizing Your Affiliate Network

Understanding how your affiliates are getting the job done is the first step to optimizing performance across all your local markets.

We can help start that conversation, identify key focus areas and help your organization accelerate performance for affiliate network improvements.

Our benchmark data and diagnostic tools capture the “voice of your affiliates” to identify high impact process and system performance improvement opportunities. Our team can help your regulatory team better understand affiliate engagement priorities and create an action plan guided by specifics from each of your local markets.

The diagnostic package can also be used to track affiliate progress to support continuous improvement in your global regulatory organization.

Organization Strategies – Evolution And Change Practice

An organization’s ability to quickly transition and adapt to the rapidly changing business environment is a key competency.

Organizations are skilled at identifying ‘what’ has to change, but typically struggle with the “how”. Our proven methodology, benchmarks and team experience is unparalleled at helping organizations with “the how”. We specialize in navigating complex change and transitions by taking a structured approach, simplifying organizational thinking, and focusing on key actionable steps.

Our diagnostic tools and organizational frameworks create the foundation for sustainable success. Our change practitioners are highly skilled and educated – most have a Master of Science in Organization Development, are published authors, and have extensive experience helping life science organizations optimize change. We not only support your transition progress, but enhance the skill of key change agents in your team as part of the process.

External Benchmarking and Internal Survey Services

Benchmarking data can inform key decisions by minimizing the time and emotional effort required to debate external factors. Whether your organization is conducting an environmental scan for strategy, understanding industry trends, or conducting a sanity check prior to beginning a major initiative, our benchmarking services streamline the process.

Benchmarking data gets everyone on the same page and helps teams focus on what needs to change. Organizations are also using the power of selective internal surveying to guide continuous improvements and change initiatives. Gens & Associates is the recognized industry leader in regulatory benchmarking with over 38 studies since 2007 touching over 160 sponsor organizations with a solid distribution of large, mid-tier, small and very small organizations. We also conduct internal surveys for our clients to support their goals and initiatives.

Our method is very straightforward:

  • Define and Understand Survey Goals and Objectives
  • Survey Design and Enrollment
  • Share Interim Findings
  • Findings Review and Exploration Workshop

Data Quality Sustainability Diagnostic and Action Planning

Data Quality levels correlate to productivity and as more systems and “data” are connected, the reliability and confidence in the quality of the data is critical.

The highest weighted lever in our World Class RIM practice is Data Quality Confidence. We have benchmarked and worked with a variety of clients to get the right data quality operating model, governance structure, data steward and data architect roles, quality processes, and reporting capability in place so data quality is “sustained” over time versus just an episodic focus during remediation from an inspection or major system update.

Our method is very straightforward:

  • Data Quality Program Diagnostic (Governance, Role, Process, Metrics, Reporting etc.)
  • Data Quality Improvement Planning Workshops
  • World Class RIM Program Peer Comparison
