This session challenges the current state of the pharmaceutical industry with these provocative questions.

• Is risk-adversity suicide in the face of competition? Change is essential, yet numerous companies avoid change because it comes with risk.
• Why build more and more elaborate facilities using more and more energy?
• Why use equipment and processes a baker in the 1900s would recognize?
• Why believe the regulator is the enemy?

Continuing Education Units or CEUs are a way to document time spent in educational programs. ISPE CEUs are calculated as follows: 1 CEU = 10 hours of education time. Thus 0.1 CEU is equal to one hour of education. Download a form to apply for the CEUs for this program.
