Driving the Business of Science: The Importance of Quality

Windshire Group is proud to have been featured in Season 1, Episode 6 of Court Square Group’s podcast, Driving the Business of Science, titled “The Importance of Quality.” In this episode, Dr. James Blackwell, President of Windshire Group, joins Keith Parent, CEO of Court Square Group, to discuss the critical role of quality in the life sciences industry.

Dr. Blackwell emphasizes that quality should be viewed holistically, extending beyond mere compliance to become an integral part of an organization’s culture. He highlights the importance of modality-agnostic strategies, the impact of artificial intelligence on operational efficiency, and the necessity for simple yet effective quality systems. A notable example discussed is how a well-executed investigation saved AbbVie approximately $8.5 billion by preventing a delay in the launch of Humira.

The conversation also covers the significance of senior leadership in fostering a quality-centric culture, the benefits of engaging external consultants to enhance quality systems, and the value of proactive change control processes.
