    We do this by starting with the end results in-market necessary for sustainable health gains—meaningfully improved health outcomes and business results—and plan backward through the commercialization continuum to identify what’s needed and what’s not in order to pull potentially transformational insights, strategies and ideas through to market with maximum impact and minimum wasted investment.
