Articulating complex strategy: a critical strategic issue for today’s pharma and healthcare leaders

Written by Insocius - 2 minute read

Challenging market and stakeholder dynamics are driving an increased need for today's pharma and healthcare leaders to devise and articulate complex corporate or business strategies.

Whether these challenges arise from changes in stakeholder expectations (such as regulation or policy change, payer and access challenges or disruptive competitor entry) or changes in strategic focus (encompassing a brand or portfolio strategy reset, a pivot in corporate position or the chance to capitalise on an unexpected opportunity), they all bring about the need for cross-business articulation, enablement and engagement. With often high-stake, high impact business requirements and the need to resolve challenging, potentially conflicting, internal perspectives at speed, this is no easy task. 

Our work with clients, and conversations with leaders across the pharma and healthcare space, have shown us that success rests not only on the leader’s ability to bring about the articulation of the strategies, but also on how the strategies are created (or co-created) and how teams across the organisation are activated to successfully engage customers using them.
