Tue, 19 May 2026 10:00:00 -0400

"Probably one of the biggest things you run into is the plain simple fact that some sponsors have a set it and forget it attitude about their vendors.” – Chris Milawski

Many sponsors fall into the "set it and forget it" trap—assuming that because they’ve hired a top-tier vendor, they can step back entirely. But from a regulatory standpoint, the buck stops with the sponsor. How do you maintain "trust but verify" oversight without micromanaging your partners out of their expertise? 

Welcome to the fourth episode of The Quality Assurance Podcast: Smart, Simple, and Sustainable Solutions. Join our Host Chris Milawski, PRN’S CEO and Co-Founder Jeanette Stewart, and QA expert Ashley Hehr as they dive into Episode 4, Partners, Processes, Proof: Smarter Vendor Oversight.
