Implementing improvements to the Project Management practices following the merger of GlaxoWellcome and SmithKline Beecham including harmonizing and supporting the new PM culture and vision. As part of this process project management competencies were seen as critical for the success of the organisation. We introduced project management disciplines, training, system and management support involving over 300 employees to operate in cross-functional project teams for such activities and product launch, medical and technical development and clinical trials projects. GSK measured success of the initiative by tracking improvement using their internal balanced scorecard indices. The European Medical Director of GlaxoSmithKline says:

“The thorough manner in which you (BMC) reviewed our requirements and applied knowledge of the most successful project management practices to target improvement of the skills and competencies of our professional staff was remarkable – all the while focused on our “business” results and “practical day-to-day issues.”
