Mobile communications, the cloud, advanced
analytics, and the Internet of Things are
among the innovations that are starting to trans-
form the healthcare industry in the ways they have
already transformed the media, retail, and banking
industries.
Pharma executives are well aware of the disruptive
potential and are experimenting with a wide range
of digital initiatives. Yet many find it hard to deter-
mine what initiatives to scale up and how, as they
are still unclear what success looks like in the digital
economy.
Competing in the digital economy needs a funda-
mental change in mindset. Here:
ØØ Business model – not selling products but en-
gaging customers
ØØ Currency – not money, but data
ØØ Competitive advantage – not quality of product
but quality of experience that you can offer to
customers.
To be prepared for the digital economy, you need
INTENT, CONTENT, STRATEGY and SKILLS. These are
the 4-pillars of any digital strategy. DigiStorm 2018
is a great opportunity where you can understand the
Intent, Content, Strategy and Skills required to com-
pete profitably in the digital economy.
