Alter Lifecycle Management Priorities as the Drug Reaches Each Milestone

Lifecycle management is relatively new to the pharmaceutical industry's vocabulary.
Two decades ago, lifecycle management was not as prevalent or formal as it is in
today's corporate cultures. Often, lifecycle management processes arose out of
necessity. For example, when Company O began from the merger of two companies, the
new company had no immediate pipeline priorities. Strategic planners knew that the
company had to focus on lifecycle management for the first two to three years. In
fact, the company employed a staff of 11 lifecycle management team members, which
was quite large at the time.
