Strategic services and solutions to help organisations compete in an evolving health market and improve cost-efficiency and profitability
R&D
We work closely with our clients to formulate a new strategy for success and achieve increased performance by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s R&D operations. We help our clients evaluate their R&D Strategy and Portfolio Management, improve management and control, and identify cost saving initiatives.
Quality
The pharmaceutical and life sciences industries are among the most heavily regulated in the world. The regulatory and tax environments are continuously changing in response to globalisation, emerging markets, increasing complexity of disease targets, introduction of new technologies and the rising sophistication and demands of both patients and regulators. Keeping pace with changing regulation requires good processes and procedures which ensure adherence and enable effective global, national and local management. We work with our clients to audit and develop management systems which enable greater transparency across the firm, inform the development of new approaches to a broad range of regulatory and tax compliance, and help improve performance. We also help in Manufacturing Quality remediation and transformation.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain
A combination of regulatory, market, scientific, and technological forces is likely to mean that pharmaceutical manufacturing will undergo rapid change in the next five to ten years. There is a need for companies to more consistently align investment in IT, quality and manufacturing with their vision of the manufacturing that will be needed in the future. In doing so, companies will be able to ensure that investments do not just deliver specific gains, but also help accelerate the company's progress toward longer term goals. We can help companies achieve the change required and their goals by utilising our firm's in-depth industry expertise.
Today companies are concerned about the cost and efficiency of their supply chain. Ensuring near term business continuity is critical; resilient supply chains will also effectively navigate around risk “icebergs”. We work with our clients to help them identify options at an early stage of the business and product planning process. We work with them to understand the potential risks, find solutions and identify the appropriate partners to help them reduce costs or gain entry into new markets.
Commercial, Sales and Marketing
In the current environment of poor product pipelines and broader customer bases, the traditional sales and marketing model of driving revenue with ever larger sales forces is no longer sustainable. Rather organisations will evolve to become more efficient and deliver differentiated effective messages tailored to the specific needs of diverse customer segments including patients, insurers, government and physicians, and the changes on product mix. PwC can work with you in targeting sales and marketing resources accordingly to the customer needs and the relevant regulations (compliance), avoiding components that are not helping to maximise the return on investment; improving the division of roles between the headquarters and local marketing companies with redefinition of planning and communication systems that work effectively between global, regional and marketing affiliates.
People
Pharmaceuticals and life Sciences companies invest heavily in their people. The challenge is to make sure that investment is effective, attracting and retaining people with great skills, and motivating them to do the right things in the right way. We work with our clients to deliver solutions on all issues relevant to their people development, reward and management of employees within pharmaceuticals organisations.

Risk and Regulatory
The Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences industries are among the most heavily regulated industries in the world. The regulatory environment is continuously changing in response to the effects of globalisation and harmonisation, emerging markets, increasing complexity of disease targets, introduction of new technologies and the rising sophistication and demands of both patients and regulators. Yet adherence to regulatory requirements is vital to both a company's and the industry's reputation. Keeping pace with changing regulation requires good processes and procedures which ensure adherence and enable effective global, national and local management. We work with our clients to audit and develop management systems which enable greater transparency across the firm, inform the development of new approaches to a broad range of regulatory compliance, risk management procedures and help improve performance.

ESG
The pharmaceuticals and life sciences industry is uniquely positioned to create value for society as its innovations lay the foundation for universal health and thus prosperity. However, it also raises expectations and sharpens the focus towards the subject of sustainability in the industry.
From assessing the various strategic implications of climate change to assessing social impact through to implementing the reporting requirements: The ESG experts at PwC and Strategy& will advise you on every facet of sustainable corporate governance. We will work with you to shape your company's strategy to transformation journey - for the success of your long-term sustainable business. Companies that take measures now can significantly reduce future costs and risks and simultaneously increase their value. We support our clients in mastering this challenge and create sustainable value for the company, society, and the environment.
We believe that transformation is a major shift in an organisation's capabilities and identity so that it can deliver valuable results, relevant to its purpose, that it couldn't master before. You might never use the word “transformation” because mastering change becomes second nature to your people, not something imposed on them. Successful transformations should do more than achieve the end state – they must build both a transformation capability and organisational agility.
Our response to the digital transformation consulting needs of our clients is centered around six solutions which are the bedrock of delivering a successful transformational journey.
- Front Office Transformation
