Navigating the dynamic biopharma landscape requires locked-in Competitive Intelligence (CI), well-aligned and equipped with advanced capabilities.

This research - conducted by Best Practices, LLC - provides a comprehensive examination of the CI landscape, delivering benchmarks and actionable insights to power your organization's CI function. The reports probes the intricacies of a successful biopharma CI function, highlighting significant shifts observed in recent years and key priorities which will shape the future of Competitive Intelligence.

This report establishes benchmarks around the structures, resources, reporting mechanisms, performance metrics, and training needs of the Competitive Intelligence function within best-in-class biopharma manufacturers. Furthermore, this report provides critical insights relating to key activities, the utilization of Centers of Excellence, and the strategic implementation of artificial intelligence within the realm of CI.

Industries Profiled:
Health Care; Pharmaceutical; Diagnostic; Manufacturing; Biotech; Consumer Products; Medical Device; Biopharmaceutical; Chemical; Clinical Research; Laboratories


Companies Profiled:
Abbott; AbbVie; Bayer; BioMarin; Biotest AG; Cerevel Therapeutics; Clovis Oncology; CSL Behring; Daiichi Sankyo; Genentech; Ipsen; Kala Pharmaceuticals; Inc.; Novartis; Novo Nordisk; Paratek Pharmaceuticals; Pfizer; Regeneron; SCIEX; Sanofi; Servier; Takeda Pharmaceuticals; Vincerx Pharma

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged Competitive Intelligence leaders from 22 Life Science organizations in this study to uncover insights and lessons learned regarding their evolving CI operations.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Competitive Intelligence (CI) Evolution: Models, Reporting, Performance, and Structural Trends
  • Workforce Dynamics: Staffing, Activities, and Training Needs
  • AI Impact: Accelerated Integration in CI Organizations

Key Findings

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

  • Shifting Competitive Intelligence (CI) Models: Decentralization on the Rise - The need for handling vast data sets with limited budgets is pushing most CI setups towards decentralization, especially in large organizations. Smaller to mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, however, still find centralized structures more effective.
  • New Generative AI Tools Enhance Data Gathering: With the rise of generative AI, CI professionals have seen a shift in required skills. While analytical abilities remain crucial—with only about a third of organizations rating their staff as excellent in data analysis—the use of AI has improved the ability to identify valuable insights within large data sets.
