Medical Product Reimbursement and US Strategy Challenge Seminars Registration Announced

SAN MARCOS, Calif. - Sept. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- The Waypoint Institute hosts The Challenge Seminar series. These thematic sessions provide an opportunity for expert-led discussions of areas of importance to key individuals involved in decision-making functions, including CEOs and company presidents as well as other C-suite executives, in addition to other executives, managers, and employees.

The practical applications of biotechnology and life sciences research - including drug development, industrial applications, food science, and the use of DNA/RNA forensics and personalized medicine – present a myriad array of business opportunities to those who are well-informed and prepared to take advantage of market and social needs and trends.

Much of how this industry sector operates in the United States remains confusing to company executives, managers, investors, policymakers, and other decision makers in Mexico and Latin America. The American model of product development, marketing, and payment is one of the most complex in the world. Yet managing to understand the model represents an opportunity to effectively engage and succeed in this landscape.

The Challenge Seminars are intensive, directed learning opportunities that give participants time to explore business knowledge, problem solving, effective decision making, and solution formulation for specific business applications and industries.

All learning is conducted in panel and workshop formats that feature experienced, successful corporate leaders who share insight, opinion and advice on how to navigate industry challenges. All of this is offered in a manner that permits non-native English speakers the opportunity to gain the technical vocabulary and conversational nuance that is utilized in their industry sector in the United States.

Participants are challenged to consider their specific issues and concerns using a comprehensive approach to management and decision making. Fully-engaged participants will leave these sessions with an increased awareness and confidence about American business practices and potential solutions to their challenges. All programs are limited to 30 participants.

Las aplicaciones prácticas de la biotecnología e investigación en ciencias de la vida - incluyendo el desarrollo de fármacos, aplicaciones industriales, ciencias de la alimentación, y el uso de ADN / ARN forense y la medicina personalizada - presentan una variedad sinfín de oportunidades de negocio a los que están bien informados y preparados para tomar ventaja de las necesidades y tendencias sociales, al igual que las del mercado.

Gran parte de cómo este sector de la industria opera en los Estados Unidos sigue siendo confuso para ejecutivos de empresas, gerentes, inversionistas, políticos y otras figuras similares en México y América Latina. El modelo estadounidense de desarrollo de productos, mercadeo, y del pago es uno de los más complejos en el mundo. Sin embargo, la gestión para entender este modelo representa la oportunidad de participar de manera efectiva y tener éxito en este panorama.

The Challenge Seminars son oportunidades de aprendizaje que son intensivos y dirigidos, dando a los participantes tiempo para explorar el conocimiento del negocio, la resolución de problemas, la toma de decisiones efectivas, y la formulación de soluciones para aplicaciones de sectores empresariales específicos e industrias.

Todo el aprendizaje se lleva a cabo en formatos de paneles y talleres que cuentan con líderes corporativos experimentados y exitosos que comparten una visión, opinión y consejos sobre cómo navegar por los desafíos de la industria. Todo esto se ofrece de una manera que permite a los participantes cuyo idioma nativo no es el inglés la oportunidad de adquirir el vocabulario técnico y el matiz coloquial que se utiliza en su sector de la industria en los Estados Unidos.

Los participantes tienen el reto de considerar sus problemas y preocupaciones específicas utilizando un enfoque integral para la gestión y toma de decisiones. Los participantes saldrán de estas sesiones con una mayor conciencia y confianza en las prácticas empresariales estadounidenses y soluciones viables a sus desafíos. Todos los programas están limitados a 30 participantes.
