The Case for Action
• Offense:– Technology is available to crack the code
– Pharma has know-how & resources which can be leveraged
– Both incremental revenues & better value for core are possible
• Defense:– Other stakeholders (displacers) are coming
– Defensive relationship vis-à-vis customers is not sustainable
– Status Quo is not a good option !

Conclusions
• Traditional Big Pharma model may not be sustainable as Payors and Providers are demanding demonstrated better care at lower cost
• Successful Healthcare companies will be part of the solutions rather than being targeted as part of the problem
• As in other industries, enriching innovative product development with added value services & solutions may complement offering in a customer-oriented way
• However, challenges from a governance, technology and policy viewpoints are numerous
• Prototyping in open, collaborative models is necessary
