True partnership & innovation success

Successful partnerships can be difficult to achieve if the stakeholders perspective is too much focused on ‘Whats in it for me’. If, on the other hand, the partnership is focused on a mutually desirable outcome, the results can be impressive as all parties are pitching in the best contribution they have to make things happen.

This has been the case in the VERKKO project.  The project was initiated with the vision of creating new methodology for conducting clinical trials with specific focus on the challenges of diabetes. While all parties involved had slightly different interests, the end product was designed to address all of these. From that starting point, it was a very positive experience for everyone and I have been personally extremely pleased with the enormous effort and dedication that all of the parties involved have put into the project and everyone has worked very unselfishly to achieve a successful joint outcome.
