Launch Excellence Alchemy: Managing Strategic Risk

Launch Excellence Alchemy: Managing Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is often overlooked within the pharmaceutical industry. There’s a perception that someone else is picking up the risk ball. Or there is more of a focus on internal risks, with little thought to the larger external factors that can have a significant impact on your launch. We see common risks arise from competitor launches, multi-indication launches, and supply chain issues. Unmitigated risks can lead to costly delays. So, what can you do to identify the risks for your asset launch and successfully mitigate them? In our latest Launch Excellence Alchemy podcast, our team of experts discuss and share their thoughts, tips, and solutions, with a focus on: The common strategic risks that arise during the launch of an asset Why it’s important to create a strategic risk system to monitor these risks Creating an appropriate plan to mitigate risks and identifying who is accountable Join John Crick, Launch Excellence Project Lead, Penny Matthews, Managing Consultant for Ignite™, and Andrew Coates, Risk Management Expert as they share ideas to think outside the box when it comes to risk management.

Launch Excellence Alchemy: Mindset, Leadership, and the Value of a 'Third Voice'
We know that effective collaboration across cross-functional and global/local launch teams is one of the critical elements to launch success – but teams often struggle to develop the right behaviors that foster a truly collaborative culture. Leadership styles too play a vital role, with research directing us away from ‘leading from the front’, towards a model that champions interdependent leadership and shared accountability. In the second episode of our series on launch excellence, we explore how: Heroic leadership styles can hinder collaboration when launching a product Looking at your own behaviors and mindset can create the biggest catalyst for change in driving collaboration External partners and a ‘third voice’ can be critical in your journey to fostering collaboration Join Lumanity staff Tracey Barnes, Vice President of Launch Excellence, and Ollie Roberts, a Pharma Launch Expert, as they share their experience and define the critical steps to becoming a more effective launch collaborator.

Launch Excellence Alchemy: Who Cares Wins
During the launch of a new medicine, there is so much focus on the intellectual strategy, that it's easy to sideline thoughts about "How are we going to collaborate as a team to make this happen?" But statistics show that strong teamwork can deliver up to 3x more shareholder value. Investing time in good cross-functional collaboration is not just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have for successful launch teams. In the first episode of our series on launch excellence, we explore the following: How strong internal collaboration delivers optimal launch outcomes Why a team ‘contract’ can transform a launch team’s ways of workings The role leadership plays in driving cross-functional launch alignment and how much influence it delivers to success Join Lumanity staff Tracey Barnes, Vice President of Launch Excellence, and Kirsty Tait, a leading Launch Excellence Consultant, as they untangle the intricacies of cross-functional collaboration to share what good launch teams are doing that sets them apart from the rest.
