    In Part One we concentrated on how to build a career that meets your personal aspirations, drivers and values. In this part of the article, we'll concentrate on the other key requirement for effective career development - your o
    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
    rganisation's needs.

    Identifying your firm's needs

    It is clear that most organisations have higher expectations of performance than ever before. Standards are both more important and often less clear. At the s

    Although professionals are expected to focus on growing within their current roles, rather than on looking for the next promoti
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    n, most of us do not have an alternative way of discussing or conceptualising our development in terms of role growth.

    One powerful model for achieving this is the Four Stages Model developed by Gene Dalton and Paul Thompson wh
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    lst professors at Harvard University. Dalton and Thompson were originally asked to investigate performance at a large electronics firm. This organisation tracked engineers' performance over time. Their data made it clear that e
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    pectations of individual performance change as people move through their careers. While some engineers continued to be rated as high performers throughout their careers, the majority received progressively lower ratings, even th

    professionals and managers from other sectors confirmed their initial findings.

    The progression identified by the two professors is independent of position on the organisation chart. It explains why two people with the same jo

    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
    xpectations organisations have of their employees.

    Stage 1 contributors accept direction, establish basic competence and learn the ropes. While people who do this early in t

    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?

    One of the many interesting and useful findings from the research is that most of the people who perform Stage 3 functions are not in formal management roles; for every manager in Stage 3, there are at least three non

    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
    managers performing similar leadership roles.

    The implications for career development

    The Four Stages Model describes values that have existed in companies for decades. However understanding the model has beco

    Moving from one stage to the next increases an individual's ability to contribute, it increases their value to their employer and
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

    Understanding the process of making this move gives us all more control over our own development as well as a providing a roadmap for increasing our contribution and future success throughout

    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

    Further research shows that moving from one stage to the next, esp

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
