 Leveraging Intelligence in the Strategic Decision Making Process

An efficient Intelligence department assists an organization in addressing tactical issues as well as formulating global strategies. Yet, this may not be enough to raise
the Intelligence organization to that of a decisive resource for increasing the company's performance.  The main reason, for this limitation, is that the ultimate
decision, on whether or not to implement a well researched and finely polished strategy, rests in the hands of a few people sitting at the very top of the organization.
To maximize their impact on the company's success, Intelligence professionals need to enhance their ability to understand internal decision making processes and
shape their contribution accordingly.

 Bucking the Trend: Innovative Avenues for Profit Generation in an Increasingly Frugal Marketplace

During this time of prolonged economic uncertainty, the pharmaceutical industry is facing ever-increasing challenges to maintain profitability. Whilst manufacturing
and operational efficiencies offer one avenue through which to achieve this, there are also external opportunities to maintain or potentially to increase profitability
through addition of value across the drug development and commercialisation process. This strategy is not only a way of improving pharma’s appreciation of and
alignment with the growing complexity and diversification of customers’ needs but also can support differentiation from the growing pressure caused by non-
innovative competitors who drive commoditisation of the marketplace. In this presentation, relevant trends and the opportunity for pharma to shift from a traditionally
product-based sales strategy to a more holistic, solution- or service-orientated approach will be explored.

 Are We Killing the Golden Goose?
A discussion of damaging CI practices at medical congresses – and proposed solutions

A majority of big pharma and biotech companies attend congresses to learn about the latest scientific advances, as well as to better understand
their rivals.  It is with regard to this second activity – collecting competitor information – that some attention needs to be applied by CI
practitioners and their vendors in the life sciences industry.  Overly aggressive collection behavior on the part of both companies and consultants
at these conferences – sometimes violating conference rules -  is rapidly approaching a tipping point when conference organizers could
conceivably ban CI activity altogether.  This discussion will air the challenges and problems, as well as proposed solutions for companies and
consultants alike.  In this session you will learn:
  • What infractions often occur
  • The effect of “bad behavior” on experts  and overall conference dynamics
  • Ideas for mitigating  or eliminating the problem altogether
  • How CI practitioners and consultants can once again meet their respective goals whilst ensuring that all attendees can gain value from
    the event

 Implications of the Increasing Amount and Quality of Free Clinical Trial Data:  Value of Novel
Search and Data Visualization Tools
  • The volume and quality of data in publicly available repositories has increased significantly over the past few years. One recent
    development is the renewed effort to include trial results in clinicaltrials.gov
  • We will explore how CI professionals can successfully leverage these free resources to enhance trial monitoring in the current climate of
    limited budgets and resources
  • We will examine novel strategies and unique resources to mine integrated trial databases and generate executive-ready analytics

 Strategic Opportunities: Leveraging Competitive Intelligence on the Road to Market Access
Access to necessary healthcare is perceived as a patient right in large parts of the world. National governments, public and private insurers as
well as regional and local payers have to provide budgets for this purpose. With new treatment options, aging populations and hampering
economic growth, the willingness and ability to finance these budgets is quickly shrinking. At the same time, pharmaceutical companies
experience higher hurdles to develop new medicines. Investments for developing true innovations are skyrocketing, and competition is becoming
more intense between products that payers perceive as similar. In this evolving competitive environment it is essential to bring in robust
competitive intelligence to support strategic market access planning with impactful insights.

 Gathering CI at Congresses, Seminars, and Industry Events
The session will present Life Science specific results of a Fletcher/CSI survey on CI collection at congresses and “trade shows” to illustrate best
practices, tools, and techniques.  Drawing on the survey findings, methods to convert “trade show tourism” into effective CI will be discussed. Ways
to distribute findings from CI efforts at congresses, and to engage multiple parts of the company in the process will be presented.  

Participants will learn how to:
  • Plan and organize a CI effort around a congress
  • Leverage and manage congress team attendance to maximize CI collection
  • Engage the collection team to analyze and distribute Congress CI findings

8:30-9:10
 TRACK A
 The Importance of R&D Intelligence
Near-term commercial considerations often mean that CI efforts are focused on late-stage and in-line products. Indeed, benchmarking data have
indicated that pipeline CI support may be minimal until a programme reaches Phase II. However, the state of a company’s late-stage pipeline is
defined by the early-stage R&D which preceded it – and many important R&D decisions may already have been made before serious CI support is
established. This session will:

  • Provide a brief overview of the current state of pharmaceutical R&D
  • Challenge the widespread perception that late-stage development accounts for the majority of R&D expenditure
  • Demonstrate the importance of improving decision quality at critical early R&D stages
  • Illustrate the need for a long-term view in provision of R&D CI support

 The Answer to C.I. ROI: Increasing the Value of Competitive Intelligence Through the Realignment
of Research Objectives
CI managers are constantly challenged by the organization to demonstrate value.  Aligning competitive intelligence objectives with strategic
decision support, rather than tactical stand-alone intelligence, can help to ensure buy-in to the CI function from organizational leadership.  In
this presentation we will examine a case study comparison of an early warning monitoring program (tactical CI) to a CI supported futurescape
study.  The results of the comparison will provide both practical and theoretical insight into how CI professionals can demonstrate value, win
influence and improve sustainability within the organization.

 The CI Tightrope: Balancing Primary and Secondary CI Insights to Ensure Informed and Robust
Decision Making
To include discussions and debate around the following questions:
  • When is primary CI strong enough to use for business critical decision making?
  • How can secondary CI vendors and/or sources be used to triangulate primary CI?
  • The role of secondary CI vendors in driving primary CI strategy; what to ask, how and why?
  • How best to prevent a company getting carried away when a piece of primary CI gives good news?
  • How best to manage primary CI distribution internally (i.e. the trade-off between communicating the findings vs. the above losing
    control)

 TRACK A
 Scenario Development - Enabler of Critical Decision-Making at Life Sciences Companies
Scenario development often means different things to different people, depending on one's functional orientation but, in general, it is mostly
either applied to events and in a narrow sense - from looking at potential scenarios for at-risk launch of generics or trial outcomes or FDA decisions
on label, or as top-executive-level multi-day off-site exercise to look at potential future scenarios for the company. This presentation, instead, will
discuss a broader, more strategic but still a very practical application of scenario development to actually enable more effective critical
decision-making at life sciences companies. A case method will be used to introduce the conference attendees to a real-life application of
scenario development in business development/licensing.

 Centralized or Decentralized CI Function – Best Practices from Other Industries
Pharmaceutical companies are under constant pressure to deliver more with limited resources. Dealing with environmental limitations is a huge
challenge, while organization targets, such as high process efficiency and per person productivity, further add to it. To remain competitive,
company management needs to make timely decisions – should their CI functions be centralized or decentralized?

This presentation will evaluate if CI should be practiced by dedicated teams/professionals (centralized) or be linked with more well-defined core
roles (decentralized). Both the formats receive a mixed score on features that work and don’t. For example, the centralized format helps optimize
processes and resources but runs the risk of being inflexible or too far from brand or business unit-related issues. On the other hand, the
decentralized format can lead to an organization being run in silos, creating redundancies over a period of time. In this talk, we will cover:

  • Common challenges faced in managing CI: centralized and decentralized formats
  • Best practices from other industries
  • Smart and agile frameworks, and other tools and techniques that can help in adopting one of the two formats as well as adapting them to
    specific business needs

 Is There a Perfect CI Organization Fitness? A Pharma CI Survey Analysis and Outcome
In collaboration with the ''Pharma CI Conference," a survey was set up to understand how Pharma companies are organizing their CI groups and how these fit their
needs.  Results have been analyzed and compared to data available in the literature.  The objectives of this research is to develop some guidelines on the best
fitness of a CI group within a Pharma company based on its profile, need and structure.
