Small, Pre-Revenue Rare Disease Company:
Building a Commercialization Strategy and Preparing for Launch
Situation: A small founder-led company with impressive scientific and technical expertise sought rare disease commercialization expertise to complement and augment a leadership team who had never launched a rare disease therapy.
​
Consulting Approach: We worked hand-in-hand with the CCO as an extension of the team to craft the inaugural strategic plan and integrated roadmap. We helped to define the overarching vision, goals, and objectives, and then developed the cross-functional global go-to-market omnichannel plan inclusive of multi-stakeholder messaging and tactical deployment. We gathered internal and external insights to shape the core messages that would resonate across stakeholders and geographies, and then worked cross-functionally with senior leadership to develop multi-channel tactical plans to reach key stakeholders.
​
Impact: We developed and managed this strategic planning process from start to finish, including establishing strategic imperatives to prepare for launch, creating a cohesive commercialization roadmap, and identifying clear milestones and success metrics, all while ensuring organizational alignment.
