In the middle of the 20th Century, pharmaceutical companies were highly respected and patients depended on their physicians to make healthcare decisions. Drugs were a key part of a physician’s ‘toolkit’. As we entered the era of the blockbuster drugs, most were small molecules made by chemical synthesis, but biotechnology was starting to emerge as a possible source of new therapeutics. Meanwhile, direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising began to empower patients.   Fast forward to today, and we see pharmaceutical companies suffering degraded reputations and values, patients further empowered by the Internet and social media, and average life expectancies increased by a decade. Digital health technologies are poised to explode and the top 10 pharmaceuticals by sales will soon all be biologicals!

Life Sciences Industry Trends…

• Blockbuster era comes to an end• Strong sales growth but declining expectations

P/E for large-cap biopharma fell from 35x in 2000 to 11x in 2010

Pricing and access pressures Higher scientific hurdles More stringent regulatory hurdles Increased competition R&D actually destroys value in some

organizations!

Genrich Altshuller:“Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”

1. Problems and solutions are repeated across industries and sciences

2. Patterns of technical evolution are also repeated across industries and sciences

3. Innovations used scientific effects outside the field in which they were developed

Market Leading “Pharmaceuticals”

• In 2012 the top pharmaceutical was a biological for the first time Abbvie’s HUMIRA

• “By 2020 the top 10 pharmaceuticals will all be biologicals” – Steve Burrill

R&D Innovation

• Rising costs, especially sunk cost for failures Late stage failure rates too high

• Declining output Need to simplify operations

• Costs 7x in 25 years Cost per new drug now $1.1 - 1.7 billion Slow pace of discovery and validation Inefficient patient recruitment

• 80% miss deadlines, average 90 day delay Complex analysis required for trial termination

Life Sciences Industry Trends

• Traditionally:A high-risk, high-margin business

• But increasing pressures:• Loss of patent protection & competition from generics• Costs of innovation and R&D skyrocketing• Reimbursement ceiling and demands• Increased transparency required by regulators & others

• Drive a move to:Managed risk and more conservative

margins

“The life sciences industry stands at a crossroads.Its business model is broken,

and the surrounding healthcare ecosystem is changing dramatically.

So how should companies respond?

They can carry on as normal andpotentially fade into insignificance

or completely rethink how they engage with theother stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem in an

effort to flourish anew.”

Fade or flourish? Rethinking the role of life sciences companies in the healthcare ecosystem – IBM

“…you can’t meet the challenges of tomorrow with yesterday’s tools—and expect to survive.”

“One of the key drivers for the future lies in using information to create more personalised care and

standardisation at the same time. We are witnessing the ‘industrial revolution’ of healthcare, enabled by IT”

Customer Experience

Management

“The shifting trend in pharma towards increased adoption of IT beyond their traditional needs and

exploring new IT avenues in digital marketing, regulatory submissions, predictive analysis & cloud computing has become more evident in the last few

years.”

walking at a moderate pace towards the Tim Horton’s after an unusually long

subway ride. Your pulse was 110, blood pressure 135/80, temperature 37.2, blood
