Last week, Nicola O’Neill, Harvest Managing Director, and Frank Rock, Harvest Partner Director, visited the office of PM Group, who are the winners of the 2019 Pearse Walsh Award for Innovation in the Transfer of Learning in Tallaght, Dublin.

During the visit, Nicola and Frank met with Catherine Lanigan (Pharma Sector Operations Manager and Overall Lead on the Programme), Paul O’Brien (Director of Pharmaceutical Technologies and Chair of the Pharma Technical Leadership Team), Una Healy (Group Head of Learning and Development) and other PM Group team members, to discuss how they can best benefit from Harvest consultancy.

With their Pharma SME (Subject Matter Expert) Development Programme, the PM Group took the coveted title for their innovation in design and delivery, specifically in the area of the selection matrix used to choose participants and to identify their long-term talent potential to meet the future needs of the business.

The Programme is designed for the Subject Matter Experts (SME) within the global PM Group, to further equip them with the knowledge and skills to transfer technical expertise across the different sites around the world, to improve the level of technical advice and service to their clients.
