Pharma Marketing: Get Started on Creating Great Customer Experiences with Jou...run_frictionless A well-defined customer journey strategy is critical to customer experience management (CEM) initiatives.1 Yet most pharmaceutical companies have not followed the lead of industries like consumer packaged goods, retail, or travel and hospitality, which pioneered and mastered the art and science of personalized, cross-channel customer journeys. While recognizing that customer journeys are often more complex for pharma than for other sectors, itâs imperative for life sciences to develop and apply journey strategies similar to those of other industries when transforming customer experiences.

Lean startup notes
Lean startup notesMichael Vax Here are some ways Lean Startup principles can be applied:
- Build minimum viable products (MVPs) instead of fully developed products to get feedback early from real customers. MVPs allow for frequent iterations.
- Use the Build-Measure-Learn feedback loop. Rapidly introduce small changes, measure their impact on key metrics, and learn what works and what doesn't.
- Continuously validate hypotheses about problem-solution fit and business model fit with customers. Pivot as needed based on learning.
- Focus on actionable, validated metrics over vanity metrics to guide decisions. Metrics should demonstrate clear cause-and-effect relationships.
- Embrace failure and treat it as an opportunity to learn.

Chap 04 course slides disruption dist
Chap 04 course slides disruption distGeoff Parker âSoftware is eating the worldâ said Netscape founder Marc Andreessen in his Wall Street Journal 2011 op-ed to describe how digital technology has transformed the world of business. We divide the disruption into two stages; efficient pipelines disrupting inefficient pipelines and platforms disrupting pipelines. Most Internet applications during the 1990s involved the creation of highly efficient pipelinesâonline systems for distributing goods and services that out-competed incumbent industries. Online pipelines tended to have very low marginal costs of distributionâsometimes as low as zero. This allowed them to target and serve large markets with much smaller investment. We are now in stage two where platforms disrupt pipelines. They bring news sources of supply to market, change value consumption by facilitating new forms of consumer behavior, change quality control through crowd sourced curation, and bring new market middlemen by aggregating fragmented markets.

Platform Shift: How New Business Models Are Changing the Shape of Industry
Platform Shift: How New Business Models Are Changing the Shape of IndustryMarshall Van Alstyne Companies that can transform their traditional business models into network models will have a competitive advantage based on new insights into pricing, network effects, supply chains, and strategy. These principles show how dotcom companies like Airbnb, Amazon, Apple and Uber managed, in a relatively short time, to attract millions of clients worldwide. But they apply also to traditional product companies like Sony, shoe companies like Nike, and spice companies like McCormick. New business models help these companies extend existing transactions to new, associated products and services. Platforms beat products every time. This talk reveals the secret of Internet-driven platforms, why they happen, and what changes they imply.
