ISPCE 2024 is thrilled to welcome our Keynote Speaker, Peter Shearstone! You do not want to miss his Presentation:
Changing the Compliance Paradigm in Large Global Companies
Compliance, quality and safety are in the news – and the subject of discussion in corporations and regulatory agencies around the world – like never before. At the same time, customers are seeking better products, while companies want greater collaboration, faster time to market and higher efficiency without affecting compliance or quality. While the Compliance function has evolved and is firmly established at more companies, it’s still often in a reactive posture with late-stage involvement in the product development cycle, creating a significant opportunity.
In this keynote presentation, you’ll learn how to seize that opportunity by changing the compliance paradigm across a large, global company.
The keynote will be delivered by Peter Shearstone, Vice President of Global Quality & Regulatory Affairs at Thermo Fisher Scientific, a company with 18 different businesses in life sciences solutions, specialty diagnostics, analytical instruments and laboratory products, and biopharma services, operating throughout the world with annual revenues of over $40 billion.
Based on the experience, knowledge and insights gained during a career spanning more than 30 years in quality and regulatory affairs leadership roles at six companies in the life sciences, diagnostics and health care industries, Shearstone will provide a suggested roadmap on how to approach the formidable challenge of changing the compliance paradigm in a complex, international organization.
He'll also discuss the need to show how earlier Compliance involvement can positively affect business results, the importance of Leadership support, developing understandable policies, processes and roles, effective directed learning, impactful communications and measuring success.
When the paradigm is changed, Compliance can become a greater contributor to the product development process, be received as an indispensable partner for success, reduce the amount of time to receive compliance and go to market, and provide customers with better products, faster.
