R&D Leadership Training: Direct Contribution to an Enterprise | F.H. Faulding & Co. Ltd is a diversified health and personal care company. The CSIRO-B-HERT R&D Leadership Program was selected to be the vehicle to assist driving change and improvements in Faulding's development processes. The team of trained participants has helped reduce total development and technology transfer times by 25-30%. A significant increase in the number of parallel activities has been achieved with a greater number of projects and product introductions being handled simultaneously. Without exception all participants realised significant personal outcomes from the course—both in their professional and private lives. The return on this investment in training in Faulding's case represented a dollar contribution to the bottom line of $1.5 million in the first year. |
