Pre-Conference Day - World Drug Safety Congress USA 2025 @ 15:00

Safety Doesn’t Build Itself — Leaders Do

Every safety system has to start somewhere, but the blueprint isn’t always clear. Do you hire first or design first? Build policies or build people? This workshop dives into the messy, motivating work of leading safety from the ground up — where today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s resilience.

Together we’ll:

  • Tackle the big question of what to build now vs. what can wait.
  • Explore how to spot (and keep) the right talent for an early-stage safety team.
  • Define goals that inspire today while preparing for tomorrow.
  • Share candid lessons on scaling systems without losing your foundation.
  • Talk leadership — how to create a safety culture people want to follow.

Because safety frameworks may run on process, but they last on leadership.
