Forward-looking Analytics & Insights (A&I) teams are using ever-increasing access to data, advanced methodologies, and a confident approach to strategy to drive innovation across a growing spectrum of internal biopharma customer groups.

Best Practices, LLC conducted this benchmark research to help biopharma A&I and Market Research groups maximize their impact and enhance their standing not only with brand teams and franchises, but also with medical affairs, HEOR, market access, corporate and other key stakeholders.

This report examines how leading industry competitors leverage their analytics and talent to provide effective strategic consultation, focus resources, optimize analytics capabilities, grow service demand, promote innovation and scale successes.

The report also probes the use of Internal Branding programs for A&I teams, the role they play in supporting Innovation Centers of Excellence, and the new opportunities and challenges that have emerged for A&I groups as a result of COVID-19.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 44 Analytics and Insights professionals from 38 leading biopharma organizations in this research through a benchmark survey. Data in this report are segmented by mid vs. large pharma companies. Deep-dive interviews were conducted with selected benchmark participants to provide further insights. Over 85% of research participants serve at the director level or above.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Core A&I responsibilities and clients supported
  • Valuable strategic practices, skills and expertise areas
  • High-value analytics, methodologies, platforms and outsourcing approaches
  • Streamlining market research via analytics
  • Internal branding programs
  • Innovation centers of excellence: Usage, staffing, services and alignment
  • Top A&I obstacles, mistakes and lessons
  • Innovative pilots, design thinking and patient engagement
  • A&I support during COVID-19 and beyond


Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Clients supported: A&I teams spend just 38% of time supporting brands, spending the balance on franchises, commercial dev, HEOR, medical, C-suite & others.

  • Analytics: Greater access to data is driving increased use of advanced analytics, especially for commercial customers (forecasting, mining, AI, conjoint, sentiment & regression). A&I teams often insource higher-value projects. Some competitors have replaced traditional market research studies (forecasting, segmentation) with analytics.
