Can QbD Help Build Better Partnerships?

As far as I know, no one has looked into how to apply Quality by Design to outsourcing situations more than Russ Somma, president of SommaTech consulting. Russ has published on the topic in the past, and was the lead speaker on our recent webcast on outsourcing excellence (available on-demand here and also featuring Rakesh Kishan of UMS Advisory and Ron Perry of Wyeth Consumer Healthcare).

Here is the printed summary of Russ's webcast presentation. His underlying premise: "QbD does not become the driving factor of partnerships, but it becomes the philosophy against which one sets up strong partnerships."

Also, here is a related article by Russ and colleague Andy Signore from Contract Pharma last year.
