Capabilities

It takes a unique combination of tangible and intangible capabilities to meet the needs and challenges faced by the world's healthcare and life sciences companies -- and to do so consistently for nearly two decades. It's that unique combination that clients value about BDF.

On the tangible side, we provide the full complement of professional skills and services typical of a world-class consulting firm:

  • Strategy development
  • Market evaluation
  • Technology assessment
  • Project prioritization
  • Financial evaluation
  • Due diligence support for business development

  • R&D process improvement
  • R&D outsourcing strategies
  • Portfolio prioritization
  • Pricing strategy development
  • E-commerce opportunity analysis

In addition, we have developed unique tools specifically for the healthcare and life sciences industries. Among these are:

  • RAM (Research Asset Maximization), an industry-defining process for uncovering sub-optimized research assets and developing strategies to realize their full value.

  • NBDM (Needs Based Directed Marketing), a system for developing and evaluating marketing strategies by addressing the needs of the various groups – doctors, insurers, HMOs, pharmacists, patients – that infuence buying decisions.

  • Just-in-time Decision Making, a process that factors in the value of information and the intuition of managers, plus the usual variables of NPV-based decision making.

But perhaps most important of all is the intangible chemistry that results from a special mix of people who bring a unique combination of knowledge, experience, insight and creativity. For the truth is that professional skills are commodities. What makes the difference is the people who possess those skills.

At BDF, our greatest capabilities are in our people, in how they relate to our clients and in the ideas they generate on their behalf. So whatever your challenge, rest assured that BDF has the capabilities needed to make a difference.
