The pharmaceutical industry and generics industry faces increasing pressure to research, develop and bring drugs to market in shorter timescales and within tighter budgets. This requires project-based skills outside ones functional role including a different set of technical and interpersonal skills that can be applied to pharmaceutical projects.
