"Catenion has supported Merck Serono since the post–merger portfolio integration and has provided us with an integrated framework of methods, tools and processes for portfolio management and R&&D project assessments. To help our portfolio team and the entire organization implement this system, The Catenion Academy has been able to customize Decision Analysis training to fit our exact needs. We have used The Catenion Academy's training with the portfolio management team, with BD&L, R&D controlling, project leaders, project managers and beyond. Through this approach a common language and awareness of risk, return and strategic fit are being established across functions in a way that could not have been accomplished through portfolio management alone."

Team Training

New at The Catenion AcademyTeam Training for Project Team Leaders and HR Executives

With our unparalleled insight into the day–to–day, real life challenges and dynamics of teams we have developed a suite of training courses specifically designed for the needs of pharmaceutical R&D project teams — as far as we know this is a unique training offering in that it is addressed to entire R&D project teams as opposed to individual team members.

Our course offerings obviously cannot solve all problems, instead we target two core needs of project teams:

  • The need for a rigorous structuring of discussions
  • The need for content-based team-building
