The TacDev Model
About the TacDev Model
Typically, clients engage with RRD though a traditional fee-for-service arrangement – the TacDev Model. This scalable engagement for defined molecules offers clients the ability to add bandwidth to their existing structure while knowing that highly experienced professionals are managing all of the key product evaluation, regulatory strategy, clinical planning, program management and execution functions.
Partnering with RRD gives clients a 360° perspective of a product’s current state, where it is going, and how best to get there. RRD’s comprehensive, regulatory-driven approach means that product development is far more than protocol execution. The TacDev model was designed to align the most valuable assets of our clients – their people, knowledge and products – with our strategic and operational expertise and capabilities.

Working collaborative to define the strategy, we also execute the development plan at an operational level – enabling companies to reduce cost, achieve rapid proof of concept, and shorten the value creation curve. Our approach emphasizes both strategic and operational planning from the onset to ensure ‘getting it right’ the first time.
Once the development path has been chosen, RRD provides experienced project management, regulatory affairs, and clinical operations teams to manage and execute key development functions. Our multi-disciplinary teams work seamlessly with existing company structures and provide project continuity throughout the engagement. The result is a fully integrated and highly functional development package with strategy-minded oversight from concept to completion.
The TacDev model is a scalable, flexible and gated approach to product development where ROI, asset optimization, and value creation can be measured at various points of the engagement. This asset-centric development model offers investment efficiencies compared to conventional approaches as it enables companies to build product value instead of costly infrastructure as well as mitigate development and execution risk.
