Collaboration as the key to turning around the drug discovery business (Part 11) – The future

 

The prerequisite to enable the efficiencies of integrated specialization, are secure, trusted collaborative platforms.  Mechanisms are required that balance allowing maximum collective contributions, with maximum control of intellectual property ownership.  Fortunately, technologies are emerging in this area to allow what was previously impossible, to become routine.  Platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook, with rich, flexible privacy and sharing controls, give us insight into the collective efficiencies that are now just within our grasp.
