Training Your Team Will Actually Remember
Interactive, high-energy, story-driven training for the pharma/biotech space: clinical supply chain, process improvement, quality, leadership, and more. What separates us is the storytelling - people remember stories, not slides.
The problem: your team is smart. But clinical supplies is a field nobody majors in - people land here from pharmacy, logistics, and luck, and then learn by fire. Turnover means the knowledge walks out the door; onboarding on commercial-built systems takes the better part of a year; and generic corporate training bounces right off.
The GBS approach: Steve has been training this industry for nearly three decades - 28 of his 31 years in clinical supplies have involved teaching it. Every course is interactive and high-energy: real stories from real world experiences, exercises that make people argue, laugh, and remember. No read-along slide decks. Ever.
What we offer: the Clinical Supplies Foundations (Basics) Course — a 3-day, 15-module foundation for those new to clinical supplies, or figuring out where they fit (run twice a year since 2011, publicly and in-house); the Clinical Supplies Advanced (Frameworks) Course — "Frameworks for the Experienced Professional," 2.5 days on-demand for professionals with 2 or more years' experience; Technical & Leadership Training (GDP, QbD, human-error prevention, contamination control, inspection & audit readiness, documentation success); Coaching & Mentoring; and GBS University — a complete bespoke internal training academy fine-tuned to your needs.
Clinical Supplies Foundations (Basics) Course
The industry-standard 3-day, 15-module foundation: GMP history, drug development phases, blinding & randomization, labeling & packaging, distribution, returns, outsourcing, new technologies, GCPs and more. Run twice a year since 2011, publicly and in-house. Plus Advanced Topics in Clinical Trial Materials - 9 modules for experienced teams - and technical training in GDP, QbD, human-error prevention, contamination control, inspection & audit readiness, and documentation success.
Coaching, Mentoring & Leadership
Personal and leadership development that sticks: emotional intelligence, leadership vs. management, crucial conversations, executive presence, presentation skills, building and retaining top talent, and leading multigenerational teams. Plus one-on-one coaching for supply chain leaders and executives, and mentoring programs that keep your rising stars from becoming somebody else's.
GBS University - Your Own Academy
For organizations that need more than a course: we design and build a complete internal training university - curriculum, materials, train-the-trainer - tuned to your processes and quality goals. We built one for a clinical packaging CMO; their people now train each other. Proof our training sticks: 43 brand-new clinical supplies hires trained at a top-10 pharma's European facility - a room so engaged they threw Steve a going-away party.
