Accelerating Molecule to Market Timelines by Maximizing Resource Utilization
The Challenge:
Pfizer is currently addressing two industry-wide disruptions: an increasing difficulty to deliver blockbuster drugs and a shift towards precision medicines for cancers and rare diseases. These shifts led to two bold initiatives by CEO Albert Bourla. The first initiative focuses on accelerated delivery of medicines to the market by reducing operational cycle times across product development. The second initiative focuses on portfolio diversification, with a goal of bringing 25 new drugs to market by 2025 and an emphasis on delivering breakthrough therapies to meet unmet patient needs globally.
