The podcast is moderated by Ken Savin, Advisor to Special Projects in the Global External Research and Development and Due Diligence groups at Eli Lilly and Company. Ken is joined by four industry experts: Mark Roseman of Kendle, Steven Hutchins of Evotec, and Ronald Yarger and Ving Lee of Adesis to discuss the current trends in pharma outsourcing.

The podcast is an insightful analysis of pharma outsourcing and includes comments on:
-   Competitive pressures to becoming an attractive partner
-   Advantages to having an integrated or cross functional individual partner
-   Keeping strength and maintaining core specialties
-   How the role of service providers is developing
-   Finding employees who are able to step up and be those partners
-   Key factors in developing and maintaining successful relationships with partners
-   The future of the pharma industry

In the podcast Kendle’s Mark Roseman said: “Things are moving away from the single project by project outsourcing mindset and as things evolve it is becoming very clear that it is in everybody's best interests to be outsourcing on a bigger level.

“What we are seeing is that Pharma is outsourcing a greater percentage of their work and they are outsourcing to fewer and fewer partners, which makes a lot of sense because you can in fact build an efficiency as you go that route.”

20/20 Pharma director Farrah Tuttle said: “As always, Ken Savin has been a great asset for 20/20 Pharma and his experience in the industry provided excellent information for the Pharma Outsourcing roundtable discussion.”
