Experts on call
Every company is different, with its own complexities and parameters. We offer a range of expertise both for large assignments, or for when you need an extra resource within your company or project team. Some of our more experienced consultants can also act as team leaders within your business.
Our specialist consultants work across the life sciences industry, including:
- Pharma
- Biotech
- Medtech
Specific expertise includes project management, QA, validation leadership, validation engineers, process engineers, and project leadership.
The KeyPlants difference
Our consultants come from a project management background in the life sciences industry. This makes all the difference when it comes to tackling challenges in a practical, hands-on manner. For a start, our consultants are not just specialists in their own fields, they also have experience working in cross-functional teams on our own projects. This means that they’re not ‘silo’ thinkers but are used to seeing how all the parts of a project fit together. In other words, they work in a cross-functional way to get things done. You’ll find that they really know what they’re talking about and will instinctively see how their own work fits into the bigger picture, i.e., your business.
Our consultants take ownership and responsibility for their individual work. That means they have an ingrained understanding of what ‘follow-through’ really means, all the way to the completion of a given assignment.
On the project side of KeyPlants' business, quality, safety, precision, agility, and sustainability are our main areas of focus. Because our consultants are experienced in these values, they bring the very same standards to your projects.
As our consultants are trained on KeyPlants’ own projects, they often have experience of not just working in a team, but leading a team. This gives you the option of choosing a consultant to lead a team within your own company
Worldwide experience, cross-cultural mindset
Worldwide experience, cross-cultural mindset
At KeyPlants, we work with some of the largest and most prestigious corporations in the life sciences industry. We also work with small, entrepreneurial companies and start-ups. We work on large, multi-million-dollar projects and those that are much smaller. And we work or parts of larger projects too. We work in Sweden, and all around the world.
Our international experience means that as we've grown, we've evolved a distinctly multicultural mindset. Today, our consultants are comfortable working with teams of people from anywhere in the world, all over the world. We believe there is no substitute for leaving our comfort zones, challenging our own assumptions, and experiencing how people in other cultures think and act. Our international experience also means that we are accustomed to working with regulators, authorities, and standards agencies setting different rules.
All of this means we’ll never make you choose between a consultant who is a highly-trained expert and one who is a practical, hands-on person who can implement cross-functional know-how to move your business forward. Because all our consultants are both.
