Prescient LExLevel Pulse - Pharma Launch Excellence Benchmarking

The free pharma Launch Excellence benchmarking tool.

Knowledge is powerful. Take advantage of Prescient's benchmarking tool, first developed by Uptake and discover your priority actions, to strengthen your team’s capabilities for winning pharmaceutical launches.

To say that launch success is paramount in pharmaceuticals is an understatement. After supporting our clients with over 250 launches, the Prescient team has developed a deep understanding of the capabilities required for exceptional performance.

We define these capabilities as ‘the seven levers of Launch Excellence‘, and we firmly believe that a pharma team’s level of sophistication in each of these has a proven impact on the success of a launch. LExLevel Pulse enables pharmaceutical professionals to gain a rapid understanding of their current launch capability for each of the seven levers, benchmark this capability against the wider pharma industry, and discover the steps needed to optimise for exceptional performance.

Beyond these levers, it is now essential to create Precision Launch strategies based on specific archetyping and therapy area. The tool also takes several of these measures into account, moving you one step closer to optimized precision.

How does it work?

Simply complete a short self-assessment, then Prescient's Launch Excellence team will get to work. Within a few short days, you will receive your bespoke report, providing you with your overall LExLevel score and your benchmarked rating for each of the seven levers of Launch Excellence, along with our actionable recommendations to optimize.

Why have we created this tool?
