Kugener, Senior Vice President, Global Pharmacovigilance, Takeda Pharmaceuticals 16:20-17:20 Roundtable Discussion: Focusing on Value Abstract: Companies often struggle with how to translate a more virtual model for maintaining a mature product portfolio into tangible value and how to articulate that value to senior management to enact change. In some cases, the value is very apparent and concrete in terms of financial savings, especially when current costs of operations are known. In other cases, however, the value derived could be from addressing compliance issues or the ability to focus limited internal resources on growth products. The ability to think holistically about all functions and capabilities involved in maintaining mature brands is key and can be a limiting factor in maximizing value. During this session, we will discuss the various value levers that companies could consider and what is seen as most important in different environments, as well as other, broader solutions that could create additional value for key stakeholders.
