CROs Improve Service Delivery
Applied Clinical Trials
ISR Reports' data show the CRO industry is improving service delivery, albeit with room for improvement. Not long ago- perhaps as recent as 2005-this chart would have been reversed, when more service providers were missing expectations than exceeding them.
ISR Reports' data show the CRO industry is improving service delivery, albeit with room for improvement. Not long ago— perhaps as recent as 2005—this chart would have been reversed, when more service providers were missing expectations than exceeding them.
So why the change? We have identified the following three factors:
- The increasingly competitive CRO environment is responsible for some of the quality improvements. Disaffected customers have more options than they used to, providing CROs with all the incentive needed to tighten the bolts on their clinical operations machinery.
- Similarly, CROs are getting better at asking the right questions and identifying their customers' needs.
- And for their part, we would suggest that sponsors are also becoming more sophisticated outsourcers They are getting better at articulating their needs, making it more likely that CROs can meet them.
Sponsors Rate Satisfaction with CROs

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
