Putnam Case Example

Goals and Strategic Framework
  • At the outset of this project, Putnam worked closely with the Client team to define the scope of relevant “Rheumatology” diseases based on unmet needs and Client strategic objectives
Evidence & Insight
  • Putnam classified Rheumatology diseases, created a database of hundreds of conditions, and based on internal expert and KOL interviews, selected diseases for in-depth assessment and performed deep dive assessments
Impact
  • At the final step, each disease was rated based on overall commercial opportunity and R&D cost, time and risk for an aspirational product concept, and then subjected to a sensitivity analysis, to guide strategic decision-making
