Cross-departmental development of a business unit strategy
Strategic Project Portfolio Management
Initial Situation and Project Targets
In order to provide doctors and patients with even better support in the future, Bayer HealthCare Germany is continually adding new compounds to its range. Due to the high complexity of the German market, sales and marketing activities for such a product launch led to an increased number of projects and likewise an increasing interaction between different departments and external service providers. The aim of the project was therefore to orient the use of resources to a clear strategy in the future. It was important to refine the strategy and arrange it in clearly measurable terms, ensure transparency regarding existing products, identify further project ideas and develop and implement a sustainable project management system.
