Sample Solution-Community #3

Competitors joining Forces for Shared Profits

Pharmaceutical Industry Research Community

Challenge:
Improve corporate profits and long-term return on investment while enhancing government and stakeholder relations.

Corporate Community Solution:
Create a new non-profit organization to more effectively link pharmaceutical manufacturers, their customers, and stakeholders while attracting public and private sector investment to build the industry. 

Results:
This concept achieved dramatic success in the United States.  Impressive statistics confirm the viability of the concept in terms of participation levels, funds raised and business results of the participating partners.

The new infrastructure welcomes all industry players, encouraging the participation of government, customers and other non-government organizations interested in medical and health research to jointly raise profile and funds for research.
There are clear benefits to all three sectors.  The public sector achieves better leverage on the funds invested in the research industry, while developing a high growth industry to create employment opportunities and economic growth.  The private sector firms attract new resources and achieve a more stable environment for long-term investment.  The non-profits benefit from closer relationships with the decision-makers who fund many of their programs and the researchers who are working on the cures for many diseases.
