The surge in private healthcare capital, venture investments, and similar funding sources is heightening competition for lucrative exits and deals.

Life sciences companies have always been at the forefront of scientific and technological advances, but they are not immune to disruption. In addition to the development of patient-centered models and increasing global competition, pharmaceutical companies face increasing pressure from payers and regulators.

In these turbulent times, only agile organizations with determined leaders can be successful. Sticking to traditional methods risks stifling innovation and falling behind. Strategic foresight and the ability to deal with complexity are essential for survival.
