María Tabuenca, Lead Specialist Testing Operations at Johnson & Johnson, affirms that "excellence means making a difference and for that you have to prepare and train to be versatile". With a session entitled"Being versatile: the road to Excellence", she inaugurated the lecture series 2014-2015 organized by the Master's Degree in research, development and Medication Innovation (MIDI) of the School of Pharmacy of the University of Navarra.

Tabuenca, a MIDI alumna, stressed to the attendees the importance of"making a difference and being critical in the work environment". Through a constant exchange of questions and answers between the speaker and the attendees, the representative of Johnson & Johnson shared what she considers to be the eight principles of excellence: "be predisposed to action, closeness to the customer, autonomy, team mentality, avoid inertia, simplicity and flexibility". The speaker encouraged the participants in the session to have a restless mentality and to be open to new options in the current pharmaceutical environment in which, she added,"highly demanded services such as Business Intelligence, Health Economics, Complianc or Medical Information are emerging".
