What is the difference between the Basics course and the Advanced course? The Basics course is an introductory level course designed for professionals new to the life science business development field or for individuals with some experience interested in updating their knowledge and professional skills. Many participants who may already have some experience in licensing or business development will take it as a refresher course. The Advanced course is designed for business development professionals with approximately 3-5 years experience who have most likely served as part of a business development or licensing team, but are now preparing to move to a senior manager level role within their organization. It does assume participants know some of the vocabulary and tools used in licensing discussions, with more in-depth discussion of issues using real-world case studies. Each participant is put on a team to perform a mock negotiation over a clinical stage compound using valuation methodologies discussed in the course. |
