    Honest, Fair Feedback.

    You want it. Everyone does.

    Only trouble is, the more you need it, the less likely you are to get it.

    Why? Research shows that 98% of us do one or
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    more of these three things when we have a difficult message to convey - and we think we're doing "the right thing":

    -We Ease In: We try to make our point without being ob

    Examples of combination products may in

    Leading questions: "How do you think your presentation went?" (while privately thinking it was a disaster) or "Don't you think it wou
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    Or in statements that only partially share what we're thinking: "You might want to c

    onsider another strategy." (while privately thinking that the current strategy has at least three major problems, and is costing the team its reputation)

    -We Censor: We si
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    ply don't say what we're thinking at all.

    -We "Data Dump": We just say what we're thinking. Plain and simple. If we're thinking the presentation was a disaster, we say it.
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    If we think it would be foolish to do anything but what we think should be done, we say that.

    The problem? No matter which option we choose, we approach difficult convers
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    tions believing we're right. People who disagree with us are wrong. We understand the situation - those who see it differently don't. We have pure motives - those who disag
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    ree don't. And to make matters worse, we're usually unaware that we're thinking this way.

    This way of thinking and these strategies dramatically limit the amount of useful
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    feedback we get and give - they also generate defensiveness. Judge for yourself - how do you respond when people approach you like this?

    Changing the way you think and cha

    Here's what this new option looks like:

    1. Try to keep your assumptions specific and linked to hard data - instead

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    How would you react if someone gave you feedback in this way?

    -It greatly reduces defensiveness - yours and others'.

    -It significantly increases learning: you both get the specific, candid feedback you want, and can m

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

    -Because you're being genuinely curious, and saying what you're thinking, there's an important additional side-effect of all thi
