Pharma Launch Excellence Summit Main Conference Day 2: Thursday 3rd December

11:00 AM Panel Discussion: Course Correcting Launches in Real Time: How to Transform Early Warning Signals into Measurable Performance Improvements

The first months following launch present a critical window to influence long-term success. Organisations that establish the right KPIs, identify performance signals early, and respond with agility are better positioned to address issues before they impact commercial outcomes. Converting launch data into rapid, coordinated action is essential to maximising product uptake and achieving launch objectives. 

• Establishing meaningful KPIs to monitor early launch performance during the critical post launch optimisation window
• Detecting performance signals to diagnose root causes of launch failures quickly
• Implementing rapid mitigation strategies to course correct and optimise launch execution in real time
