There are proven approaches to doing this, the problem seems to be the adoption of these approaches.. Our first attempt at the Grand Hotel of Value, was in fact more of a reception.Key client organisations in the pharmaceutical industry came together under the umbrella of Accelerate Pharma to be part of the thinking to address the opportunities.. With a great location, opposite the Watson Crick Institute, a light and vista filled room, with good food and an open and relaxed agenda and pace, this approach to cross-company, cross-sector collaboration was started..
