Enabling
repeatable launch success
From pre-clinical research through new product launch, strategic decisions and plans are often based on personal knowledge and experience. However, those “personal databases” are not usually consolidated to a common, integrated group understanding.

Clarify and prioritize decisions to be made, and align decisions with brand vision and financial opportunity

Commercial Dimensions
Ensuring successful product marketing requires collaboration across all functional areas, beginning with commercial assessment.
Developing the right plan, with the appropriate interdependencies aligned to each responsible party, is critical to creating organizational excellence. Stakeholders, both internal and external, and on a global scale, benefit from milestone collaboration with predefined reports and systematic alerts.
In a world where consistent communication is critical to align corporate goals LaunchPath provides a central resource management hub to identify opportunities and mitigate risks. An ounce of prevention can save your bottom line.

Stop Losing Sleep
LaunchPath makes sure these things don’t keep you up at night
Each brand team approaches pre-launch and brand strategy differently.
We are finding that project management helps but is not enough.
We don’t do a good job of understanding the opportunity and role our offerings could ideally play. We default to how it fits in the existing market place even though we know it is changing.
Most of the brand team have never launched a new product, let alone a specialty product.
We in-license most new products and don’t have time to do all of the right preparation work. We try to play catch-up.
It is difficult to coordinate all of the different functions and determine when to involve them at the right times. We do a better job of integrating Medical, Clinical, and Commercial, but there is room for tons of improvement.
We rely on the countries to figure out if a new product is a good fit for them and how.
Financial forecasts are too disconnected from what we understand about the market and product opportunity.

LaunchPath Workflow
Commercial Dimensions are the foundation of LaunchPath and organize all relevant key initiatives and activities to enable a fully optimized global launch plan.
Initiatives and Activities
Each Commercial Dimension is further defined by Initiatives, which are the product, market and organizational objectives that must be achieved. Activities and Tasks are the specific action items, aligned with a project leader, that are required for each Initiative. Critical path and slippage reports provide up-to-date insight on project status, allowing you to be proactive – not just reactive – in taking necessary action.
Document & Resource Management
LaunchPath provides a single-source management and collaboration platform for all resource materials including Initiatives and Activities documentation.
