The key operating principle of Osmovian is to avoid studies running into

difficulties through diligent oversight and relationship management.

No new product should fail to meet a development milestone due to poor

contracting practice or relationships.

Addressing issues as they arise or preparing for difficulties and working to avoid

them has massive benefits; saving money, time and effort in the long run.

Not always possible, however

and relationships can

Become strained for a

variety of reasons:

Supplier Dissolution

Budget Restrictions

Relationship Breakdown

Scope Changes

Performance Issues

Osmovian can act as either as an independent

party to arbitrate between the sponsor and

supplier, or as the sponsor’s advisor and

negotiator to resolve issues.

Our Aim:

• Bring studies back on track and budget

whilst rebuilding business-to-business

relationships

Our process:

• Get all parties focused on the problem;

• Collaborate to find solutions that benefit all

parties;

• Avoid blaming and fault finding;

• Recognise both parties have invested in the

relationship to date;

• Work together to a unified goal of delivering

the study or next milestone
