Course Rationale and Overview

The Pharma Consulting Skills Masterclass is an immersive 2-day program designed to equip participants with:

  • An understanding of what life sciences strategy consultants do, how we add value to our clients across the Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology and Medtech (Devices and Diagnostics) sectors, and how to confidently enter into this dynamic space
  • Invaluable hands-on experience and coaching by seasoned consultants while working through actual client questions and presenting to senior management
  • An invaluable networking opportunity with the Eradigm faculty as well as the aspiring next-generation of movers and shakers within the space

Designed and led by Eradigm’s founding partner, Patrick Romano, and facilitated by Consultants Javier Vega and Victoria Blackbeard, the course is organised into three main taught and interactive modules:

  • Expanding horizons and unlocking growth – How and where do different consulting firms work with pharma companies to identify and exploit pockets of value? How do consultants partner with clients to drive strategy? What key opportunities/threats are consultant’s tasked with uncovering?
  • Practice makes perfect – How do consultants dissect high-level strategic problems into its core constituents? What behavioural and technical competencies are required to succeed? How do consultant conduct research and analysis to work smart – not long? How do consultants transform a presentation into a memorable story and deliver it with impact?
