Dr. Weingand delivered the keynote address (Lessons in Leadership for Crisis Management) at the 26th annual meetings of the Society of Quality Assurance in Cincinnati, OH on April 27, 2010. This presentation summarized key learnings from management of the 2007 wet pet food recall, the largest consumer package goods product recall in history, that affected over 100 pet food brands globally.  Dr. Weingand was the global crisis team leader for P&G Pet Care, the pet food company that first detected the pet health issue, discovered the pet food ingredient contaminants (melamine and cyanuric acid), and helped the U.S. FDA define the toxicologic mechanism and resolve the issue.  Contact Dr. Weingand to schedule a presentation of this intriguing and instructive story for your organization.  For more details, see the attached training presentation description and objectives.

Bringing the "outside in" is essential for innovation to be truly disruptive and break-through in the human and pet health categories.  Experienced guidance for pre-clinical and clinical research in product development is highly valuable to support regulatory submissions and new product claims that are really meaningful to your target consumers.  Effective external scientific communications and professional relations are also essential for credentialing new health care products to convince medical and veterinary professionals of the validity of new product claims and drive product recommendations to their consumer clients.  Once in the market, preventing and managing business issues and crises are extremely important to build and maintain brand equity and loyalty.

 

If you don't have this expertise or capability in-house, we can help you!  The SciComPro® team has extensive industry experience in new health care product research & development, influencer marketing, and external relations.  See About Us and Our Work.
