Turning Evidence into Strategic & Competitive Advantage workshop – 1 day Evident Specialist Extension program

Descriptive Synopsis

This workshop provides a set of methodologies to create effective commercial outcomes utilising the evidence from two comparative products- chosen by CSL. This one day workshop is delivered in three parts:

Part 1: The Strategic Nature of Evidence – introduces the commercial aspects of the strategic and dynamic nature of scientific evidence as applied in the life sciences industry

Part 2: Putting Evidence into Context - This section recognises that the Evidence is coloured by its context. “You can’t change factual evidence but the context can influence how it is perceived, interpreted and used.”

Part 3: Turning Evidence Into competitive Advantage – This integrated process places the evidence into commercial context (i.e. brand, therapeutic & competitive perspectives) and involves critical appraisals & statistical analysis to inform comparative evidential insights. A set of methodologies are performed to formulate messaging or commercial objectives using client chosen clinical papers.

This two day workshop provides new paradigms of thinking in terms of how scientific evidence is viewed from both the medical and marketing business perspectives. The workshop example is best illustrated in therapeutic context where there are compelling commercial and competitive issues revolving around a set of pivotal papers. Chosen outcomes can be improved message formulation or product positioning. The methodology has broad application in the comparative commercial context. It is also a very useful program to run in advance of multi-disciplined strategic “war game” workshops.

The ‘Turning Evidence into Strategic & Competitive Advantage’ is delivered through senior evidential lecturers from reputable tertiary institutions and commercial specialists.
