As scientists, if we want to stay ahead of current trends, we need to step forward and learn the business concepts that shape today’s job market. With this course we want to prepare our employees with the necessary skillset to adapt to this new world. This is a practical, self-paced course for scientists who want to connect with the biomedical/biotech industry. The course is NOT designed to be an expert in those topics, but an introduction, providing the starting point should you choose to work in/with industry. The program covers a broad set of competencies: creative skills such as design, critical and customer-focused thinking; entrepreneurship fundamentals including the venture cycle, lean methods and business modeling; business skills like strategy, project and operational management, budgeting and economic evaluation; industry expertise in IP law, clinical development, regulation, digital transformation and quality systems; and finally, communication skills ranging from pitching and teamwork to active listening and body language.
