Extensive work with sponsors gives John Vogel a "bird’s eye" view of their needs and expectations and prepares him to consult on strategic issues for service providers, CROs, SMOs, AROs and investigators. To ensure there is no conflict of interest, John Vogel does not promote any particular service provider or service, and he does not identify marketing contacts within the pharmaceutical industry.

"Dr. Vogel is providing a valuable service to the drug development industry. He identifies and brings to the table the tough issues which need to be addressed to improve outsourcing between the pharmaceutical industry and service providers. He also knows what the industry is looking for and has played an important role in how we present our capabilities to both our current and future clients."

Arthur R. Kamm, Ph.D.
President and CEO
A.R. Kamm Associates, Inc.

"Dr. Vogel's extensive understanding of the clinical trials industry enabled him to critique our service offerings and positioning to assure we were addressing the needs of clients and effectively communicating those service offerings to clients."

Michael K. Lester
President and CEO

A typical consulting day with a service provider begins with the presentation "A View of the Status and Future of Global Pharmaceutical Outsourcing". The talk is targeted to management and technical staff and covers the following areas:

  • Changes in sponsor attitudes towards outsourcing
  • Changes in the pharmaceutical services industry
  • Changes in the way that sponsors are outsourcing
  • The market for pharmaceutical services
  • Critical success factors
  • Tools for managing the sponsor-provider relationship
  • Trends and issues for the future

The seminar usually runs about 2 ½-hours. The remainder of the consulting day is spent meeting with staff, discussing specific issues identified by the service provider, reviewing and critiquing the provider’s marketing plan and reviewing its operations.

The benefits to pharmaceutical service providers include:

  • Understanding the changing role of outsourcing in drug development
  • Gaining insights into new challenges facing the industry
  • Realizing what sponsors expect from service providers
  • Learning useful techniques for enhancing relationships with sponsors
  • Exploring the future role of the provider in pharmaceutical outsourcing
  • Receiving practical suggestions on how to improve the service provider’s marketing strategy

Dr. Vogel can also provide customized in-house training on working effectively with sponsors. This one-day workshop includes lecture, role-plays, problem solving and discussion.
