Is your medical leadership evolving as fast as your company? In our recent podcast episode, Steven Zelenkofske highlights that the best CMOs in biotech are those who don't just adapt—they redefine their approach as the company evolves. It's not about simply checking boxes in a role, but having the right skills at the right time to meet new challenges. At SSI Strategy, we partner with biotech leaders to build adaptable, forward-thinking medical leadership teams. Are you ready for a leadership team that’s truly built for change? Let’s talk!

We piloted Microsoft Copilot to see how generative AI could transform biotech, and here’s what we learned. ??Set Realistic Expectations: Overpromising undermines trust. Being clear about what AI can do—and what it can’t—keeps teams engaged and focused. ??Support Teams Through the Process: Adoption follows a curve, from excitement to frustration to growth. Steady guidance ensures successful integration. ??Identify High-Impact Applications: Focus on areas where AI delivers the most value, like automating routine tasks or improving document creation and communication. ? Our pilot program showed us that adopting AI isn’t just about technology but about preparing people for change. For biotechs, this means rethinking processes to focus on what truly matters. ?

Biotech leaders often delay involving clinical expertise until after crucial development decisions are made. This timing gap can lead to costly pivots and missed opportunities in drug development. As shared by Dr. Steven Zelenkofske in our latest episode of the Emerging Biotech Leader podcast, the modern CMO role is "like an octopus with eight arms" - requiring a delicate balance of clinical expertise, operational oversight, and strategic leadership. At SSI Strategy, we partner with biotech leaders like you to structure your medical team for success. Ready to optimize your medical leadership strategy? Let's talk!

The new EU HTA regulation is set to reshape market access in Europe. For global drug developers, this means navigating new, mandatory processes that directly impact your timeline and strategy.

The time to adapt is now—delays in understanding these requirements could cost valuable market access opportunities.

Rounding out my recent travels with a stop in beautiful Stockholm ??, original home to our regulatory team: NDA Group - an SSI Strategy Company, and this year’s #BIOEurope2024! One topic that has been consistent across recent conferences: the impact of the current funding environment on innovation ????. The industry is on the edge of one of the most significant patent cliffs in history, beginning in 2025. Layering in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its push to lower drug prices—a vital measure, yet one that raises questions about its influence on innovation and investment in drug discovery. I’d love to hear thoughts from this community on a few specific areas: 1 ) How do you see the IRA affecting funding for innovative therapies? 2) What creative strategies are companies considering to address both the IRA and the upcoming patent cliff? Let’s keep the conversation going in the comments! ?? Thomas L?nngren Bj?rn Carlsson Arne Saupstad Adriana Valenciano Lena Demetre
