All TTOs strive for efficiency and consistency when triaging technologies or moving an innovation through the commercialization process, but few actually take the time to map out their procedures. But without Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), your office is prone to splintered communication among staff, less than optimal quality of work, decreased productivity, and a generalized perception of disorganization.

Well-drafted SOPs document exactly what your office does, who does what, and how it is done most effectively. Though time-consuming to develop, the reward for investing in SOPs is a higher performing and more efficient operation, consistency in recordkeeping, faster integration of new staff, and more — all of which will lead to higher morale and ultimately more licenses and start-ups.

To help you and your staff make the most of SOPs while avoiding potential pitfalls, we’re sponsoring this detailed, how-to webinar led by the experts at Fuentek, LLC.

Join Laura A. Schoppe, president and Becky Stoughton, vice president of Fuentek, LLC when they take a deep dive into the best practices for formulating and implementing SOPs and what the pitfalls are of doing business without them.
