Andrea Semprini Cesari - Leveraging change to accelerate evolution and enhance sustainability.

There is no time like the present to discuss change. We are living in an era which is teaching us that change happens and change can be extremely fast. Everything we know and do on a global scale has been affected by the pandemic. This has given us at IMA the opportunity to rise to new challenges and not just follow, but govern and guide the evolving trends in the pharmaceutical industry.

Everybody sees change as a challenge. The difference is that some people see it as an obstacle to progress, others see it as an opportunity. In my career with IMA, I can honestly say it has always represented an opportunity and I am familiar with moving from one role to another. When you see situations from different viewpoints, it is easier to adapt and find the best way to respond to the need for a new approach. External factors will often dictate new rules, and only companies who are proactive and flexible will survive in a fast-moving scenario.

DOMINA automation is a step ahead of other machines by helping to maximize production and minimize errors. Allowing product quality and production efficiency to be of the highest standard and guaranteeing a quick return on the customer’s investment.The concept behind the system is to go beyond simple control strategies and sophisticated algorithms.

Today the world is changing quickly, people are frequently changing their minds, the economy is reacting faster than ever and the healthcare demand is reflecting this never-resting movement. The mission of pharmaceutical companies is to provide quick and efficient support to human health.

Developing a new machine, in an already established market, is a challenge that is both fascinating and complex. There are several aspects that must be considered in order to respect the main constraints of the project such as the quality, the cost, and the time to develop the product.

Overseeing the process is the key to my job: a new blend to be compressed always makes for a new challenge with hidden issues to be faced step by step. Mixing self-knowledge and equipment versatility guarantees results.This brings me to consider: what can really affect the tablet manufacturing process or better yet which solutions can be used to handle the process better?

We’re always changing, and always have been. Surviving change is what characterises us. Had our species not been flexible and adaptable, we never would have survived. However, not all that glitters is gold.

Until recently, change simply meant improvement. In the sense that life evolves, everything moves forward, progresses: the country where we grew up, where we live – in other words, everything around us. In my mind, we have always been heading towards something better, in comparison to what was there before.

Let’s start from a matter-of-fact statement: change is a constituent part of any aspect of life, it stays at its very basis, for individuals and for societies. And we cannot avoid it: it is an inescapable aspect of our condition of finite beings, living within a space-time frame.

Talking about change in the midst of managing the Coronavirus crisis entails a number of reflections on the type of change and the impact it will have for us. As individuals, corporations and companies. And, consequently, on the social and political system.
