Today's challenging environment—increasing R&D costs, regulatory

budgets-requires companies to continually improve efficiency and
demonstrate the effectiveness of their efforts.
From a publication planning perspective, the challenge remains
how to measure and communicate the success of our publication plans.
After a brief presentation, participate in discussions on real—life
examples that will help you build upon your own metrics initiatives.
