“VISION is a new ground-breaking programme specifically tailored for Senior Executives in biopharma. The courses, briefings and workshops provide invaluable insights into the major challenges faced at Executive Team level every day. They also highlight the opportunities and creative solutions that can be utilised to tackle those challenges head on. I thoroughly recommend it.”

Dr Angela Osbourne, eXmoor said:

“VISION should be an amazing experience. You will learn so much about yourself and your approach to management. This not only comes from the course material, but also from the industry expert speakers and the experience of other delegates, who come from very different working environments and therefore can provide contrasting perspectives.”

Another delegate testimonial stated:

“The course was like receiving 10 years of high quality mentor-ship in 2 days. My expectations were exceeded due to the speakers and the fruitful discussions from the participants.”
