“Gaining knowledge from formal and informal sources. Over the years, I’ve amassed a huge amount of information and learning, including genuine insights into risk reduction and design structure of outsourcing functions. Knowledge of the market, tips on good service providers, particularly smaller CROs providing specialist services. It was also tremendous reassurance that I was doing things right, and I’ve gained some leverage with CROs I’m sure. Being involved in fabulous workshop events for deep learning. Also, the templates were excellent for the time in the early stages of PCMG.” – David Davies

“The networking opportunities have been by far the biggest benefit of my membership of PCMG along with gaining considerable in depth knowledge through the workshops, webinars and annual Assembly. I know that I have made numerous contacts who I can get in touch with to understand their perspectives and experience and to share what has worked well and not so well for them. This has been invaluable as I have gained experience and taken on positions of increasing responsibility.” – Dave Webber

“Being able to initiate Workshops has been hugely valuable, as well as working together with other committee members & creating a long-lasting and important network of people within my field.” – Pia Sauer Larsen

“The opportunity to interact and build long-term professional friendships with people from different perspectives and companies. Ordinarily, these types of working relationships are limited to colleagues in the workplace – which is limited in scale and scope in smaller companies and also subject to internal politics. It’s been a chance to learn how things can be done and extend my abilities through the collective knowledge of the experienced members of the Committee.” – Richard Scaife

“I have learned so much, and continue to learn, from colleagues and associates on the committee and among the Directors and general membership. PCMG is all about promoting the sharing of best practice and collaborating with our CRO partners in a way that is unique in the industry. The sense of fellowship and camaraderie has provided much needed support in difficult times and the establishment of a network of peers has proven invaluable.” – Steve Martindill

“Access to tools and templates, access to valuable, actionable insights from industry experts who have really helped me drive proven clinical outsourcing strategies in my day role.” – Varun Grover
