Case Study:
Sponsor-CRO Team
A pharmaceutical sponsor wanted to improve the relationship with their contract research organization. Clinical project team members from both organizations were not collaborating, inappropriate e-mails and team meeting behaviors were distracting many. The Morris Consulting Group analyzed the leadership styles of the two organizational team leaders to enhance their understanding of their own styles and that of the other team leader. We created open dialogue between the two team leaders to investigate how these style differences can strengthen the team's performance. This process proved so successful we support several other clinical project teams at this same pharmaceutical sponsor organization.
