Pharmaceutical vice presidents, executive directors, brand leads, marketing leads, and commercial leads:
As you assess your sales results, identify full-year risks/opportunities, and prepare your forecast, are you experiencing uncertainty associated with the unprecedented and transformational change impacting healthcare financing, delivery, and patient access?
The pressure has intensified to develop strategies that drive and identify new sources of revenue in an environment of intense drug cost scrutiny impacting patient access, affordability, and treatment experience. Transformational change is being driven by a convergence of forces such as:
Disruptive game-changing Inflation Reduction Act implementation consequences and preparation for the next round of product negotiations
Channel/customer transformations expanding impact of vertical integration to optimize revenue streams with demands for larger fees across books of business
Changing value expectations around the patient experience impacting access and affordability
Increasing demand for new prescription fulfillment models designed to help patients get the medications they need at a price they can afford
Drug finance and delivery evolution impacting drug launch success necessitating early commercialization R&D strategies assessing commercial viability of markets, priority therapeutic areas, and indication sequencing
Navigating Uncertainty by Anticipating Possible Futures While Still Operating in the Present*
Uncertainty stems from the inability to compare the present to anything we’ve previously experienced. When traditional predictive tools reach their limits, we need to turn to strategic foresight, which uses scenario planning in an exploratory process to understand complex environmental dynamics (eg, trends, stakeholder needs, market shifts, evolving business models) and what it could mean for future pharma business models, customer engagements, and patient outcomes.
When It’s Time to Act, It’s Too Late to Think.
Aventria Health Group can help you successfully anticipate and develop robust strategies in a time of deep uncertainty by designing a dynamic forum (live or virtual) tailored to your organization’s issues using our proprietary 2-step design methodology.
Step 1: Engage and Design
Craft and refine strategic questions
Voice of leadership—a series of one-on-one input sessions with the leadership team
Scenario creation—formulate 2 or 3 one-page scenarios
Scenario refinement—one-on-one consultations with the extended team
Findings report—basis for Learning and Sharing (Step 2)
Step 2: Learning and Sharing
Develop workshop playbook—prework for participants
