The Series
Forward-thinking (business) professionals are needed to shape (their) companies and help them stay ahead of the curve. Today’s business environment requires professionals who are not afraid of change and innovation. Your investments today are the basis for success in the future. We invite you to our workshops Strategy & Governance Excellence series, organized by The Decision Institute. Learn from the latest, best and most impressive Harvard cases, by experts in case teaching and writing Prof. Dr. Fred van Eenennaam and Ir. Maarten Koomans. The Excellence Series makes the latest international insights on strategy and governance quickly available and practically applicable for professionals in the Netherlands. Every masterclass touches on today’s issues; making it possible to learn from recent themes on strategy and governance.
Next workshop May 8 – Partnerships & Investments
The Life Sciences industry is a complex industry. Entrepreneurs are facing various issues and are forced to make decisions continuously. From dealing with intellectual property and the location of the company and its position in the cluster to the used business model. All these choices have an impact on attracting capital and creating partnerships and thus on the success of the company. For example, would a fully integrated pharmaceutical company (FIPC) make different agreements with investors than a company that uses the platform business model? During the workshop Partnerships & Investments suggestions and practical tips are given and illustrated by the best practices and examples of Prosensa. Prosensa is a Dutch biotech company, a company that has made these difficult choices before and is still facing them today.
