The Playbook for Running a Multi-Partner Engineering Organization
A recurring challenge in MedTech is that in-house software engineering teams often run at full capacity, while the funded development pipeline demands more. MedTech leaders face a dilemma: hiring is too slow, or the workload spike doesn’t justify long-term staff. Many projects also require specialized expertise that is needed only early on.
The pressure to scale without overstretching teams can lead to burnout and a portfolio of poorly executed projects. As organizations grow, many turn to external partners. When done right, these collaborations are invaluable, but integration is rarely straightforward in regulated environments. Compliance, documentation, and onboarding add complexity.
Too often, efforts to accelerate development create bottlenecks and compliance risks, leading to missed goals and costly missteps. With the right approach, companies can scale effectively without compromising quality, compliance, or morale.
Join Orthogonal and industry experts to explore how to build and manage successful multi-partner engineering organizations in MedTech. You’ll gain actionable strategies to improve integration, mitigate risks, and boost productivity.
What We’ll Cover:
- Assessing when to scale through internal growth vs. engaging an external partner
- Deciding between individual contractors and consulting teams with owned deliverables
- Integrating external teams into your QMS, regulatory frameworks, engineering processes, and tooling.
