KPI Design
Finding the measures that matter for a clinical-stage biotech
Situation
The Commercial Strategy head at an exciting clinical-stage biotech needed a focused dashboard to enable data-driven decision-making for the commercialization of multiple products in late development, including the company’s first ever launch.
Action
- AESARA management consultants used the balanced scorecard framework, with a proven process for KPI design and selection to define a bespoke KPI set
- AESARA engaged the Commercial Strategy Head, her LT peers including CCO and head of Value and Access, and her Commercial Strategy team as participants in the Scorecard and KPI design process
- Starting from corporate strategy and functional purpose, we helped the client articulate strategic objectives, break those down into concrete success factors and then develop, prioritize and define ways of measuring achievement of those success factors
