We would like to invite you to "OPEX in Pharma: Towards Deep Structures", a one-day event in Dublin hosted jointly by the University of St.Gallen, TU Dublin and SA Partners.

Have you ever experienced a drop of maturity and performance in your OPEX production system after a larger change? This may be due to the lack of deep structures that withstand the tides of change which this event will focus on. Operational excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing is rarely won or lost at the level of tools and methods. This event looks one layer deeper, at the deep structures of culture, capability and regulatory context that decide whether an excellence programme holds over time or quietly erodes.

Over the course of the day you can expect research findings from almost two decades of benchmarking pharmaceutical production systems, a practitioner perspective on what separates sustained excellence from short lived improvement, a look at regulatory science and at what it means to do research for the US FDA, and an interactive workshop in which participants work on the deep structures in their own organizations.
