A successful launch is not a singular event, but the result of early, structured, and integrated preparation. In the life science industry, the launch determines whether clinical success is effectively translated into market penetration, reimbursement, and sustainable revenues, or whether potential remains unrealized.
Why this area is critical
Launch Excellence does not begin shortly before market entry, but long before.
Company perspective
For companies, a launch means:
- High investments within a short timeframe
- Strong interdependence of regulatory, medical, and commercial decisions
- Long-term definition of pricing, positioning, and organizational logic
Insufficiently prepared launches often result in:
- Slow market uptake
- Suboptimal pricing and reimbursement positioning
- Inefficient structures that are difficult to correct later
Investor perspective
For investors, the launch is a central value realization milestone:
- Are clinical data convincingly translated into market value?
- Are organizations, processes, and resources launch-ready?
- Is there a clear logic for how and when revenues will be realized?
From an investor perspective, launch excellence is less a marketing issue than an execution and governance challenge.
Typical risks and misjudgments
In practice, we frequently observe:
- Late or fragmented launch preparation
- Insufficient alignment between Medical, Market Access, Marketing, and Sales
- Unclear positioning versus competitors and standard of care
- Lack of prioritization of target segments and stakehoder
- Organizations that are operationally overstretched at launch
These risks cannot be mitigated through increased activity, but through clear structure and decision logic.
