9. 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:
Performance
Issues
Scope
Changes
Relationship
Breakdown
Budget
Restrictions
Supplier
Dissolution

10. 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
