The depth of knowledge and experience in an ecosystem has the potential to outperform any supercomputer when it comes to problem solving. We facilitate the use of collective intelligence to solve problems faster and with less effort.

We seek out points of connection and then make them concrete through the development of exploratory and pilot projects. Just getting people together and hoping they will connect is not enough!

Academia, industry, and NGOs are aligned on the goals of improving the lives of patients, but their organizational needs are not always aligned. With 16 years of experience and over 15.000 hours of facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue we provide an efficient process for design of projects that serve everyone’s needs while making the process of concluding project agreements easier.

Because the ecosystem is about building up trust and relationships (social capital) needed to have a stakeholder balanced project design process, projects that come out of a BioPharma X ecosystem deliver early wins as well as ambitious longer-term goals.

When you work in a large collective the assembled knowledge, experience, and resources mean that you can assemble projects that make a real difference.

Data and samples often go unused because people are not aware they exist, or they need to be used only in the context of a project. Here is where the value of a strong design process helps to make the use of data and samples beneficial to all. Effective use of data and samples is about bringing disciplines and stakeholders together and providing the tools and opportunities to build awareness about available data and samples.

Learning from articles, books, even presentations is different than what you learn from dialogue with people engaged in problem solving and projects. Methods sections of papers don’t describe what did not work. Our approach builds the relationships and provides the facilitation to bring implicit knowledge that one gains from working in projects and solving problems together to the forefront

Open innovation networks, ‘big science ‘ , and ‘big innovation’ are increasingly becoming the focus of major funding programs. The proposals that win those funding bids are not developed in few weeks by people who don’t know each other. One’s best chance for accessing that funding is to have a network of relationships and the support of expert designers so that you can proactively and with minimal effort pursue substantial funding opportunities such as those put forth by the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI).
