4. Welcome
Who am I?
Founder Generic Pharma 2.0
16 years in Gx:
6 years Packaging, API, C/M
8 years Business Development & Licensing
2 years market intelligence & global consulting
Imagineering: Insights, ideas, strategy
Have done ‘something’ with:
- Pfizer & Greenstone
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Pharmascience
7. Welcome
Why are we here?
- Future of the industry is very different from today
- Growth markets are “easier said than done”
- Biosimilars will be branded, few have sufficient capital
- Competition in small molecule never ends
- Government funding and policies fluctuate
- MNC’s into generics, generics into speciality pharma, speciality into OTC
The challenge:
Where should time be spent and investment be made?
8. Welcome
Why are we here?
To discuss DIFFERENTIATION:
- The process or action of being different (duh!)
- To show a difference that distinguishes
To discuss STRATEGIES for it:
“The intelligent allocation of limited resources through a unique system of
activities to outperform the competition in serving customers”
Why is this workshop needed?
Companies in the generic pharma industry (generally)...
Underinvest & focus on alternative strategies for competitive advantage
9. Welcome
Why are we here?
To be better than the
competition!
Competitive exclusion principle:
“No two members of the same species can coexist that make their livings in the
identical way”
10. Competitive Advantage
Defined:
“An offering of superior value based on differences in
capabilities and activities”
Three components:
- Distinctive Capabilities: Resources + Competencies
- Investment in Activities: Optimisation + Co-ordination (value chain)
- Market Offerings: Consistent positive difference + Credibility/Trust
11. Competitive Advantage
Transformation Options:
1) Better alignment between offering and capabilities
2) Create new capabilities
3) Influence customer preference
4) Change the game - innovate to create a space without competition
12. Competitive Advantage
Business Value Options:
- Product Leadership
- Operational Excellence
- Customer Intimacy
Alternative to singular focus
MEDIOCRITY & COMMODITISATION
Need to be either; better or different.. we will focus on different
13. Competitive Advantage
The problem (status quo)
Product Leadership:
Generic drugs by definition are commodities
Patent expiries determine portfolio and drive growth
Significant market share is gained by being the lowest cost
Operational Excellence:
Focus on manufacturing & supply chain (to lower costs)
Regulatory & legal are the tools to unlock new revenue
Customer Intimacy:
A generic company cannot influence (end) consumer preference or intimacy
The trade customer shows loyalty only to price
