Advice You - Business

The recent snowfall in the UK made me think. While shovelling snow from my front drive to get the car out without sliding into the gate post, I remembered an article I read recently about leverage and organisation and business development.

Leverag

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

e is about using the resources you have available to make sure you get the best returns for your business or organisation. I think the concept is equally relevant whether you are looking to secure a better income, improve your personal performance

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

or have a greater impact as a voluntary or community organisation.

Let's get back to those shovels:

Shovel 1: Projects

Start making much smarter choices about which projects and tasks are really worth your time, and which should be ditched. I lo

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

ok at every project from the perspective of not only immediate short-term rewards, but also how it will continue making a difference for months or years to come. Make a list today.

Shovel 2: Time

Don't obsess about not having enough time. You all

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

have all the time in the world to make the kind of money you need or develop the quality of life you desire for yourself or community. You just need to choose the right projects and have a bigger vision! Sometimes you need time away from day-to-da

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

y business to be more creative and fresh. What is your vision? Take some time out to clarify it.

Shovel 3:Customers, Clients and Service Users

It is easy to think that any customer, client or service user is better than none at all. If you think

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

about it though, it becomes painfully clear that you can't be all things to all people, so that it's essential to screen customers and clients carefully and to take only highly committed and well paying clients. This might be challenging to some VC

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

Os or public services, but think about the value of a major success for one service user might have on raising expectations for others with similar needs.

Shovel 4: Products and Services

You might thrive on the creative energy of creating new way

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

s of doing things, I know I do, but how much time is spent just talking about things and not achieving anything - remember a camel is a horse designed by a committee! Why not put more effort into thinking why you want to do something and then devel

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

op ways for having fewer products and services on the back burner and get smarter, quicker.

Shovel 5: Alliances

I am a great believer in the idea that together we are better, that's why I am such a great fan of networking and having alliances wit

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

people like Vivienne, Steve and Elena. Just think what you might be able to achieve by being commited to achieving results with other people, businesses and services. With whom can you form alliances?

Shovel 6: Technology

Just 12 years ago I wor

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

ked in an open plan office with 20-30 other people in a wide variety of roles and where there were just two PCs. One was dominated by the team coordinator and the other was in a corner collecting dust. I soon became frustrated with handwriting lett

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

ers and documents, giving them to someone else to type (and as I was quite junior, was far down the pecking order for getting things done!), correcting the typos and then waiting hours and sometimes days to get the final copy back - so I vowed to c

Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

onquer Word Perfect. Oh, how times have changed! Now I communicate daily with people around the globe, have information when I need it, do most of my marketing online, create presentations, record speeches, update my website and break down so many

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

barriers with emails, now that's leverage! I know by the very fact that you are reading this that I am probably preaching to the converted, but am still flabbergasted that there are so many people in leadership and management positions that are not

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

making the best use of the technology so readily available. Why not print this off give them the article with my best wishes.

Shovel 7: My Coach

Who is your coach? I made a conscious decision to have a coach to help me grow my business and achie

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

ve my goals in life. By regularly working with a coach, I am helped to find find more and more "bigger shovels" in my business. If you are committed to a successful life and career, you must get yourself a coach.

Bigger Shovel 8: Goals

What are y

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

our goals for your business or organisation, your career and your home life? Are these goals little more than making sure the next contract comes in, getting through to the next grant round, carrying on working until your pension matures or to have

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

another holiday in the same place you have been to for the last 10 years. If so, don't you think there may be more to life than that and you are without a doubt able to achieve a great deal more. Set yourself some clear goals, work out how you can

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

achieve them.

As you can see, there are many ways to experience growth using leverage. If you are working harder than ever, and settling for less money, fewer customers or clients and less enjoyment, this is your lifetime opportunity to change it

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
