The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing unprecedented change. The advent of mega-mergers is altering its dynamics and a new landscape is emerging. As the product pipelines dry up, a competition to develop and market products that satisfy unmet medical needs is stronger than ever. Go-to-market models, types of drugs being approved, even organizations themselves — all are being impacted. Pharmaceutical companies are faced with new challenges from regulatory agencies imposing tougher requirements for market approvals, governments in major markets are taking a tough stance on reimbursement and pricing, and generic companies are rigorously and creatively challenging patents.

This highly competitive and complex business environment necessitates a leadership model that promotes innovation, productivity, and cost-efficiency, yet thrives in a large, complex organization. Working under adverse circumstances, leaders at all levels will be faced with managing, integrating, and motivating culturally diverse organizations while achieving results.

What skills are needed now?

To master these challenges, leaders must establish high-performance cultures that balance innovation with financial growth. Maintaining key operational indicators and promoting sound decisions in all functional or business areas within an organization will be critical to its future success.
