We trained hard...but every time we formed up teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn that we meet any new situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization. - Petronius Arbiter, 210 B

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

Although the frontier in business excellence begins with personal disciplines, and the systems that support them, it must eventually move to the issues of how to get things done in concert with others. It is in the hands of another that your "way" is put to the ultimate test.

Examples of combination products may in

As in all things, though, Jesus is our primary example.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." Therefore th

Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Him equal with God. Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He d

oes, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel" (John 5:17-20).

For those who want to run their business (and lives) God's way, these verses are critical.

, the Father and the Holy Spirit are the epitome of a high performance team. Better than any Super Bowl team, any Fortune 500 management team, any World Series team, any Navy SEAL team, or any other configuration one can imagine, only in the Trinity do we get to see and relate to the ways in whic

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

God prescribes a team should function.

If you're ready to develop teams God's way, here are three basics that can help:

1. Clearly stated, measurable objectives

The first place to look if things aren't going so well with your team is at its purpose. Ask the individuals on the team in question

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

to write down their answers to the following question: What is the purpose of our team? Without discussion, go around the room and have them read their answers. Often the team's mission changes and modifies while in progress and without everyone being informed. Adaptability is key to surviving th

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

e changes that always come. However, most teams don't deal well with change because they never started off with a mutual understanding of where the "end zone" was and how they'd know if they got there. Objectives have to be clear, written and measurable and regularly reviewed by all involved.

2.

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

Clear team roles

In an age of management systems that put high emphasis on equality, it may be easy to overlook the fact that not all hierarchy is bad. In fact, historically, properly placed levels of expertise and responsibility have allowed for some of the greatest periods of progress and effi

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

iency. Teams are simply small businesses. They need clarity about who's in charge, how to resolve conflict and to whom to look when assumptions prove inaccurate. As Dennis Peacocke says about the need for leadership and authority, "Anything without a head is dead. And anything with more than one

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

ead is a freak!" In the Trinity, it is clear that the Father is in charge. Note that each position of the Trinity is mutually exclusive while being simultaneously totally integrated. Here is our model! Because of fear, we tend to default to one of the extremes. One extreme is when we throw off "t

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

itles" and expect everyone to just intuitively do everything...hiding behind organizational indefinites. The sports analogy for this would be a phenomenon in little league soccer called "swarm ball." Swarm ball is when no matter where your position is, you just can't resist the urge to gravitate

What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

o the ball. It may be humorous for the eight year olds, but for us, it's just sin. The other extreme is when we hasten to the letter of the job-description law selfishly touting phrases like, "that's not my responsibility." Both are obviously disastrous. Can you see this is just the story of the

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

rodigal son and his slavish brother all over again? Solid team roles include clear, actionable tasks as well as cultivated heart attitudes that keep "sons" from acting like "slaves."

3. Commissioning

Ad hoc teams can be a great source of spontaneous energy and effort. But when push comes to sho

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

e and shove lasts a long time (see current economic environment), most employees tend to default to what they are going to be held accountable for. It is more important than ever to officially recognize who's responsible for what. Those with responsibility need to be commissioned to the work at h

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

and. The same goes for teams. It clears the way for them to focus, act with authority and manage their responsibilities with excellence. Without commissioning a team, they become prime candidates for conflict and redundancy. If you are in charge, then it is your job to commission. If you are not

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

n charge it is your job to serve your company by politely refusing to "dive in" without being commissioned. If God took time from his continuous business to commission, so should we. Matthew 17:5 states: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said,

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!'"

Find out where your teams are. Need a place to start? Start with the basics. Start with Clear Objectives, Clear Roles, and Commissioning and you'll be on your way to building godly systems that serve working relationships

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products

High consumer demand has accelerated the growth of the restaurant industry. In the US alone, restaurants collected$475 billion, and forecasts say that it is going to be even better this year. As more and more people dine out on a regular basis, the demand for suppliers and service providers to the restaurant industry has also shot up.

You are in business for yourself, but how well do you know your customers and community? A good way to become better at understanding your community is to develop spread sheet databases of service clubs in your town with contact names, phone numbers, email addresses and brief descriptions. You should know all of the Volunteer Support / Service Clubs in your town.
