2 Day In-person Seminar (December, 2016)
Best Practices for Dealing with the Common Crisis Events for the FDA-Regulated Industry In addition to most common crisis situations that affect all companies, medical product companies have to deal with issues such as stagnant product pipelines, unplanned regulatory hurdles and unexpected safety issues with marketed products for which most companies do not or cannot plan ahead. Crisis management should be built into the operational practices of all companies, especially those as highly regulated as in the FDA-regulated industry. In dealing with the US FDA, medical and health care product companies routinely encounter crisis events that require careful regulatory strategic planning, diligent execution and persistent follow-up to ensure successful address of the crisis. Unlike risk management, which involves managing potential and known threats of narrow scope, crisis management involves managing unknown threats during and after their occurrence. A crisis event, if not managed adequately and timely, could negatively affect the status of applications with the FDA, public image, and financial status of the company. The workshop will allow participants to engage in a simulated, real-world crisis scenario that could put a company’s reputation, profitability and future into jeopardy. Participants will immerse themselves in a realistic, virtual crisis situation focused specifically on an issue related to the regulatory management from the perspective of FDA acceptability. This unique workshop will teach first-hand what is involved in developing a crisis communications plan and managing the plan in real-time, taking into account the importance of FDA guidance and interactions; employee, external stakeholder and media communications; quick response time; and reputation management. When your company is in a crisis situation, you need to quickly move to control the information, evaluate the event, create and execute a game plan, and diligently close the matter. This workshop will be a lot more fun than handling an actual crisis, but it will also get you thinking in a serious way. This workshop contains a collection of practical tips from the trainer’s extensive IND submission experience. Who Will Benefit:
