A Culture of Accountability

Accountability That Drives and Delivers Success

At Pharm-Olam, we consider every aspect of your study — from start to final clinical study report — our personal responsibility. Our unique Culture of Accountability is a belief system we live by. When you work with our project management team, we provide:

Ownership: We are accountable for the entirety of the study. This includes our work, affiliate vendors, sites, patients and teams.
Partnership: We are one team sharing your goals and your mission.
Transparency and collaboration: We leverage communication, technology and teamwork for your benefit and ours.

Our Culture of Accountability in Action:

Recently, a group of study sites were having ongoing delivery issues with a specialty laboratory contracted by the sponsor. Although the Pharm-Olam project management team was not required to assist, they successfully resolved the issues and quickly got the deliveries — and the study — back on track. Our project management team always has your back.

Earned Value Management

EVM: Better Insight For Powerful Study Performance

To keep your study performance on track and on time, we incorporate proven earned value management (EVM) techniques into every clinical trial. This powerful project management methodology provides an additional dimension of project performance insight. EVM use is common in the government-funded space and has a direct benefit to Sponsors on the commercial side as well.

By incorporating EVM, we quantify time, cost and value, enabling you, the Sponsor, to have a greater awareness of true study performance. This approach, allows us to improve overall planning and control as well as scope definition and analysis in ways that no other CRO is providing. Pharm-Olam’s integrated system gives you simultaneous measurements of the data most critical to the successful delivery of your clinical trial.

CRO Project Management - Risk Management

Bow Tie Risk Management

A Visual & Proactive Approach To Study Risk Management

You need a partner that proactively considers and creates mitigation strategies for challenges your study may encounter. Bowtie is a proactive risk assessment tool first developed for use in the oil and aircraft industries. It connects potential hazards directly to key performance indicators and provides process feedback essential for continuity and process improvement. We use this visual process to identify risk and its likelihood of impacting your project. Once we create an assessment, your project management team will develop a risk mitigation plan to ensure that possible threats do not turn into real-life issues.

At Pharm-Olam, we do not believe in leaving anything to chance when it comes to the success of your study. We create and deploy a bowtie risk management plan for every clinical trial awarded, and transparently share it with you for your awareness and buy-in of mitigation strategies.

Sponsor Testimonial

“I find Pharm-Olam to be truly an extension of our company. They are customer focused and treat my study as if it were their own. This is atypical in the CRO world where there is often no commitment to corporate needs or deliverables.”
