Partner, Brock Solutions

Robert has over 30 years in consulting and engineering small to medium pharmacuetical projects, from greeen fields to regulatory projects. Brock Solutions was the consultant that assisted Ed in the culture change initiative.

Projects within an organization usually require employees to adapt to a new process or environment. Projects that are driven by costs reductions, acquisitions, divestitures, or regulatory compliance are likely unpopular with current employees. Special attention, beyond traditional engineering project management techniques, is needed to change negative behaviors and culture for long-term success.

This presentation will describe a proactive approach to managing this aspect of a project and a set of tools that should be used by project leaders and supported by management. Where these tools are used effectively, the culture change required from existing employees will be more successful, lifecycle costs will be reduced, and the change will be sustainable.
