CRO Industry: Partner Up or Get Left Behind?   The latest CRO report reveals a changing sponsor landscape: complex trials, faster timelines, niche diseases, new geographies. While this has the potential to be a big opportunity, CROs risk falling behind without the right strategy.   Although the traditional response to increased uptake by sponsors of new service demands has been M&A, Rob Aitchison argues that, when faced with a ‘acquire vs. partner’ decision, partnering is the right way to go. Why? Because it means that companies can:  ✔ Hedge tech bets ✔ Reduce talent wars ✔ Be more nimble and flexible ✔ Focus on core strengths   The challenge? Past partnerships haven't always been smooth.   But there's a way forward. Learn how in our blog post 👉   #CRO #clinicaltrials #lifesciences #partnership
