Agenda

  • What did you learn in the first two weeks of your last transfer that you wish had been in the RFP?

  • Where did your CMO's incentives and your timeline pull apart, and what did you do about it?

  • Which decision on analytical methods have you regretted every quarter since?

  • What is the one change you would make to how transfers are scoped next year?
