Clarkston Consulting Discusses Major Trends Impacting Life Sciences

DURHAM, N.C. - March 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Clarkston Consulting, a management and technology consulting firm specializing in the life sciences and consumer products industries, just released their 2014 Life Sciences Trends Report.  The report covers the primary trends impacting the life sciences industry, and provides guidance on how companies can successfully navigate each.

The 2014 Life Sciences Trends Report focuses on three major trends affecting the industry, discussing the implications of each for life sciences companies. The key trends and challenges highlighted in the report are:

Quality and Supply Chain – With regulatory pressures increasing, how will your company ensure the quality and security of your products throughout the global supply chain?

Healthcare Reform – Healthcare reform is shifting globally, pushing organizations to provide high quality care at lower costs. How will your company respond to the collective demands of regulators, payers, providers, and patients?

Innovation and R&D – R&D investment is waning among U.S. companies, as cutting costs has become a priority. How will your company continue to innovate while also maintaining operational efficiency?

“The life sciences industry is transforming on a global scale,” says Janel Firestein, Partner and Life Sciences Industry Leader at Clarkston Consulting. “As life science companies adapt to this changing environment, they should also consider ways to encourage innovation and improve efficiency within their organizations.”
