SCALING LIFE SCIENCES - Stenfeldt, Martin

Résumé :
SCALING LIFE SCIENCES: Wisdom and Lessons Learned from 150+ Industry Practitioners Scaling a life science company is a high-stakes challenge-delays are frequent, resources are stretched, and setbacks can be costly, even fatal. Yet few structured insights exist on how to foresee and manage critical issues, leaving managers to rely on trial-and-error strategies or best practices from industries that don't share the complexities of life science ventures. This book on scaling life science ventures provides real-world insights to help founders, executives, and board members make informed decisions. Rather than offering a step-by-step manual, it delivers industry wisdom drawn from experience, equipping leaders with practical strategies tailored to the complexities of life science scaleups. This handbook is built on real-world case studies-not theory. Whether you are preparing for commercialization, expanding your team, or aligning your leadership, it provides a structured path to scaling with resilience and efficiency. Through 50+ in-depth interviews and a survey of 112 life science scaleups, industry practitioners share lessons learned the hard way to help leaders recognize and navigate common pitfalls. Inside, you'll find: The Life Science Scaling Triangle(TM)? - A framework covering 12 critical focus areas that impact a company's ability to scale. The Eight Archetypes of Life Science Entrepreneurs(TM)? - A model for understanding leadership styles and their role in business growth. 101 lessons learned from executives, board members, and investors who have faced-and overcome-scaling challenges. 3 practical tools to assess a company's current maturity level, prioritize key focus areas for scaling, and identify executive team shadow sides that may impact the journey.
