Strategy & transformation

Strategy that survives contact with the data.

Portfolio, brand and launch choices grounded in a demand view you can trace, and the operating model to carry them through.

The problem

Plans built on numbers no one can trace back.

Most brand and portfolio plans rest on a demand estimate that was assembled once, by one team, from sources nobody else can reproduce. When finance, the brand and the field each bring their own number to the planning meeting, the discussion becomes about whose number is right rather than what to do.

We start from the decision (which indication to prioritize, how to sequence a launch, where to put the next round of investment) and build only the evidence that decision needs, in a form your teams can rerun after we leave.

How we help

What this solution area covers.

Typical areas of work. Most programs combine two or three.

Opportunity and market sizing

Patient-flow and epidemiology-based views of the opportunity, with the assumptions written down and the sensitivities shown.

Brand and portfolio strategy

Positioning, segmentation and resource allocation across brands and indications, tested against the evidence rather than the loudest voice.

Launch strategy and readiness

Sequencing, readiness tracking and a measurement plan agreed before launch, so the first cycle is read rather than guessed.

Forecasting

Patient-based and analogue forecasts, built region by region, with promotion and access scenarios inside and versions locked for finance.

Operating model and organization

Roles, decision rights, governance and the capabilities to build in-house versus source, sized to the brand plan.

Transformation support

A program office that tracks decisions and evidence rather than activity, with a small number of measures everyone agrees on.

What you keep

What your team keeps after the engagement.

  • A demand view with every assumption documented and owned
  • A plan your finance, brand and field teams can each reconcile to
  • A forecast model your analysts can rerun and explain
  • Decision rights and governance that fit the size of the organization

Where engagements often start

Challenges we are brought in to solve.

  • A launch is under twelve months away and readiness is unclear
  • Brand teams and finance disagree on the size of the opportunity
  • A portfolio decision is due and the evidence is scattered across teams
