    This seminar describes the lessons learned from a deep-dive workshop about how to adapt to the Inflation Reduction Act's measures to control drug prices in the US, but it is equally relevant for any pharma or medtech company trying to influence market access or reimbursement policy.

  • Comprehending Caution: It is better to understand commercial caution than to criticise it

    If you've worked in pharma, medtech or other life sciences sectors for any length of time, you will probably have been frustrated by the the caution and sometimes risk aversion of its leaders and its investors.

    In this seminar, I'll give an evolutionary explanation of why our industry is so cautious, an explanation that will help you and your colleagues seize more opportunities.

  • Disruptive innovation: What it is, what it isn't and what makes it happen

    The term "Disruptive innovation" began life in 1997 as a useful description of how a few, special developments change markets.

    But it's since become debased and many now apply the term to any minor, incremental change.

    In this seminar, you'll learn what disruptive innovation is, what it isn't and the conditions that lead to it happening.
