Our analytical framework applied to the ENABLE case

ENABLESpecific drug programs
1. Temporality issues/time constraintsPrivate part:
Actor: new programs (and their owners) joining, termination of programs, personnel turnover, exposure to new contacts
Resource: lack of development programs, Drug Discovery Platform underused
Activity: creation of routines by CMO/PMC for milestone declaration, go/no-go decisions, new hit-owners routines and fast time expectations on activities
Public part:
Actor: new programs joining, termination of programs (Lower personnel turnover), exposure to new contacts
Resource: changing resource constellation, bottlenecks, required timely and effective use of resources
Activity: creation of routines by CMO/PMC for milestone declaration and go/no-go decisions, expectations of highest speed for drug discovery hub activities, allocation and re-allocation of resources depending on periodic volumes
Private part:
Actor: development of trust, alignment of goals, stress for some
Resource: pivotal effective use of resources, other funding running out fast (SMEs)
Activity: take longer time than expected, pushing to get times respected by public partners, preparation for PMC meetings, need high coordination and follow ENABLE pacing
Public part:
Actor: development of trust and commitment harder to achieve, alignment of goals, stress for most
Resource: highly specialized resources, capacity constraints when time pressure, bottleneck for delivery of data
Activity: new experiment procedures, short timelines, no time for writing publications and general learning
2. Coordination tools for the time issuesPrivate part:
Actor: meetings and specified roles
Resource: PMC timeline request, budgets and periodic resource allocation to various partners
Activity: milestones, indicative timelines for development stages and termination of entire project
Public part:
Actor: meetings and specified roles
Resource: PMC timeline request, budgets and periodic resource allocation to various partners
Activity: milestones, indicative timelines for development stages and termination of the entire project
Private part:
Actor: meetings and specified roles
Resource: suggested timelines and strict criteria on molecule qualities for program progress
Activity: flowcharts, timelines and termination decision of a program, role-based coordination
Public part:
Actor: meetings and specified roles
Resource: suggested timelines and strict criteria on molecule qualities for program progress
Activity: flowcharts, timelines and termination decision of a program, roles-based coordination
3. Consequences for the partiesPrivate part:
Actor: turnover of personnel and of organizations require to rebuild trust constantly. New contacts
Resource: fair possibility of reaching overall project goals in terms of molecules. New resource constellations
Activity: highly coordinated routines, but possible delays when new partner enter and need to learn ENABLE process. New activity patterns
Public part:
Actor: need to rebuilt trust with new private counterparts. New contacts
Resource: bottlenecks during the project for all programs, funding will be stopped when ENABLE ends, and very limited academic publication output. New resource constellations
Activity: learn how to perform new fast routines for efficient project management, no performance of academic research activities. New activity patterns
Private part:
Actor: high turnover of personnel, relationships started outside ENABLE. New actor bonds
Resource: longer (delayed) development time for key molecules, loss of competence for specific molecules. New resources ties
Activity: coordination with public partners sometimes difficult due to different time-orientations. New activity links
Public part:
Actor: some turnover of personnel and need to rebuild trust and commitment, relationships started outside ENABLE. New actor bonds
Resource: loss of some competence, difficult recruitment, new technologies need new adaptions, adapted resources not transferrable to other programs. New resources ties
Activity: some adaptions occurred, learnt new routines and how to work under time-pressure. New activity links
