This research provides fresh insights into the state of quality and compliance management in the Life Sciences industry, as well as quantitative data which demonstrates that many Life Sciences companies are preparing for or embracing Next-Generation Quality Management practices. ![](https://blog.generisgp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Capture-2.png?width=675&height=449&name=Capture-2.png) What does a Next-Generation Quality Management System (QMS) look like for a Life Sciences organization? Six Key Imperatives for Next-Generation Quality Management were identified: 1. Link Quality with Business Strategy 2. Drive Real Product Quality 3. Enable Harmonized Processes 4. Allow Global Deployment and Reporting 5. Deliver Enterprise Class Quality Solutions 6. Enable Quality Culture and Effectiveness Some organizations have made strides in each of these areas, while others are lagging behind. In many cases, the data shows that automated Enterprise Quality Management System (eQMS) has a positive impact on an organization’s ability to achieve desired results. This e-book will help you benchmark your current quality management processes against these industry findings, and understand any gaps you may need to fill to stay ahead in the market. Click through to access [the ebook](http://info.pilgrimquality.com/smart-quality-management-ebook-gen-2) by Pilgrim. ![Generis](https://blog.generisgp.com/hubfs/Square!-1.png) ## [Generis Generis is a Full-Service Organizer of World Class Business Summits.](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/author/generis) [Visit homepage](https://generisgp.com/) ## RELATED NEWS [![](https://blog.generisgp.com/hubfs/ASC26%20Post%20Summit%20Recap.jpg)](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/celebrating-10-years-of-the-american-supply-chain-summit) [Supply Chain](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/tag/supply-chain), [Summit](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/tag/summit), [Summit Recap](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/tag/summit-recap) ### [A Decade of Supply Chain Excellence: Recapping the 10th Annual American Supply Chain Summit](https://blog.generisgp.com/blog/celebrating-10-years-of-the-american-supply-chain-summit) Introduction The [American Supply Chain Summit](https://supplychainus.com/) celebrated a major milestone in 2026—its 10th anniversary!
