Case Study
Digital transformation for leap frogging competition
Roche Diagnostics recognized the need to digital transform its products in order to compete in the software-based economy.
The Situation
Roche diagnostics historical competitive advantage was based upon a global network of lab partners serving healthcare providers and patients with the most innovative diagnostic and monitoring instruments available. This hegemony was threatened, however, by the rapid pace of life sciences innovation and the market need for complex data analytics.
Our Approach
Moves The Needle worked with executive leadership to structure an intensive 90 day accelerator across multiple streams of work that would set the foundation for a completely transformed business based on a first-of-its-kind Lab Integrator Platform.
Really astonished and impressed that we are already looking at technical details as well as the big picture in just 90 days. This goes hand in hand with our strategy and will help us overcome cultural hurdles.”
