This white paper discusses the follow-the-sun (FTS) model and its application in optimizing Functional Service Provider (FSP) solutions for clinical development and post-marketing surveillance. The FTS model facilitates the distribution of work across various global regions, allowing for continuous task handoffs as each region's workday ends. The document outlines the importance of real-time access to skilled talent and the need for effective recruitment strategies tailored to specific organizational needs. It details how the FTS model enhances operational efficiency, accelerates drug development, and ensures compliance with global regulatory standards. Additionally, the paper highlights best practices for implementing an FTS model, including effective communication, quality management, and cultural navigation. It emphasizes the significance of careful planning and the establishment of robust technology infrastructures to support seamless operations. The ultimate goal is to advance scientific discovery and improve patient outcomes through optimized resource allocation and continuous support.
