Challenges included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low segmentation and targeting rates:<\/strong> Only 70% of the global markets had some form of HCP segmentation and one-third of planned calls were not linked to segmented HCP&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of standardized processes:<\/strong> Markets used to different tools and practices, making it difficult to track progress and drive consistent results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reliance on manual tools:<\/strong> Tasks like customer profiling and territory alignment were done in spreadsheets, which was inefficient and error-prone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited data analytics capabilities:<\/strong> Organon needed a better way to track and analyze data to measure the effectiveness of its strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nOn top of these challenges, Organon also sought to tackle organizational roadblocks that had emerged from the separation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size and scale:<\/strong> As a smaller entity, Organon had to adapt its field planning strategies to be more efficient and cost-effective after its separation from its mother company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cultural differences:<\/strong> With operations in over 60 countries, teams had to navigate diverse cultures and working styles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change management:<\/strong> Incorporating new tools and procedures led to some skepticism and widespread adoption was not guaranteed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;Without clear segmentation and targeting, our efforts were like throwing data blindfolded &#8211; pure chance, not strategy, guided by our execution.&#8221;<br \/>\n<span>&#8211; Maciek Wojtaszewski, Omnichannel Customer Engagement Director, Organon<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Formalizing business processes<\/h3>\n<p>\nOrganon continues to evolve its commercial organization and translate brand strategy into HCP engagement execution. In collaboration with ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Commercial Services, the company built a strategy-to-execution framework that provides clear guidance on key tasks and best practices, enabling each market to progress at its own pace despite variations in maturity levels.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt formalized five key areas as part of its global framework: profiling, segmentation and targeting, engagement execution, data and analytics, amd strategic planning<\/p>\n<p>\nThe approach was straightforward: develop a strategic plan by analyzing the brand, understanding customers, and identifying significant segments and specialties. In the first step, individuals within these segments are profiled. Then, they are organized into engagement groups, and targeted with planned activities. Following this, execution occurs through the field force, digital channels, headquarter emails, webinars, etc. Finally, data is analyzed for insights.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive m-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Organon_Session-Summary-Graphics_Business-Processes.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Building strategic partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>\nMore than an implementation project, this was a strategic partnership, and together with ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Commercial Services and ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Business Consulting, a global framework was built.
