Organizations seeking to keep up with the digital transformation are investing in new technologies with an end-to-end (E2E) focus on their products and processes, aiming to improve operational excellence, worker experience, product quality and delivery timelines. Adoption of these new technologies requires a systematic, structural, and holistic transformation of individuals and the organization. Smart organizations of today and the future need to effectively capture, maintain and share their data, information and knowledge - including their people’s implicit and tacit knowledge - to maintain a competitive advantage and meet these high demands.  This workshop is a continuation of the European Annual Meeting Workshop and will include learnings and output from attendees.  As well, comparisons from US and European attendees’ experiences will be made to benefit future ISPE content.

The ISPE Advancing Pharmaceutical Quality (APQ) Program has been developed by industry representatives, for industry use, to advance the current state of pharmaceutical quality by providing practical tools and approaches to enhance the effectiveness of the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS). The APQ program recognizes that the ability to advance the maturity of quality management lies within the industry itself and a key driver for this program is to provide a range of sustainable and practical quality management improvement strategies.This ISPE Advancing Pharmaceutical Quality Program is intended to provide a practical framework that an organization can use to first assess the maturity and then advance the state of quality within their organization. It is a quality management maturity program that aims to identify good practices and good behaviors which support the continual improvement of quality management effectiveness within an organization. The Advancing Pharmaceutical Quality (APQ) Program provides specific guidance on how to assess and improve each element of the Pharmaceutical Quality System using the new APQ Assess, Aspire, Act & Advance Framework. APQ includes practical tools, comprising of both quantitative and qualitative assessment criteria, against which the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical quality system can be evaluated and then improved upon.
