Strategy | Consulting

Strategic and conceptual corporate consulting in the areas of healthcare, medicine, pharmaceuticals, medtech and life sciences

Challenge partner – pharma consulting (strategy, organization, processes, projects)

The experience gained from many of the projects we have conducted demonstrates that initiating and implementing projects and measuring their success requires a high degree of commitment, motivation and far-sightedness if they are to bear fruit. External stimuli and perspectives can often help clients to think outside the box, so we accompany and support projects as an external advisory ‘challenge partner’ and catalyst.

Scientific consulting and support for marketing and medical projects

The target group-appropriate transfer of information to employees, healthcare professionals, stakeholders and patients – to name just a few – is often difficult.
We support you in your marketing and medical projects by combining our broad scientific and medical background with our editorial and design know-how so that your messages reach your target group in the right way.

Analyses and the determination of potential

A structured analysis that is conducted in advance is the foundation of any successful strategy. In order to develop an appropriate corporate or marketing strategy, we identify what is required and then analyse (amongst other things) corporate structures and processes, the market environment and potential, the competition, and stakeholders.

Process analyses, optimization and management

For a wide variety of reasons, corporate processes are highly susceptible to change, so they need to be constantly improved or adapted. It’s often difficult to assess your own processes because you can’t see the wood for the trees. We support the analysis and optimization of processes by introducing an external perspective.

Corporate, portfolio, marketing, and sales strategies

Based on structured analyses and/or market research findings as well as client information, we develop an appropriate corporate strategy or marketing and sales strategy, for example in the context of product launches, life cycle management, positioning, portfolio optimization, etc.

Development of organizational structure

Changes in the company or the market environment often require adjustments to the organizational structure. Based on a needs analysis, we advise and support you in developing your organizational structure.

Change management processes

Change processes in companies are an important part of maintaining or expanding one’s market position. However, they are often rather unpopular and lead to uncertainty within the workforce. We offer strategic support when initiating projects, defining goals, and conceiving and implementing change management processes. We also provide support in relation to important success factors such as internal and external communication, motivation, skills, and the early involvement of those employees who are affected.

Key performance indicators (KPIs); scorecards

Performance made measurable: individual key performance indicators to assess operational processes and initiatives are important when it comes to achieving the goals of a company or division and successfully implementing strategies. We support you in developing individual, transparent, and target-oriented key performance indicator systems so you can see how well your various activities are performing.
