Finding Life Science Equilibrium
Fusion Cells leverage a variety of data but with a human and operational element, supporting faster and more contextualized decision making, and driving faster action. They can also extend outside of an organization to leverage and align third-party stakeholders.
Aligned Goals vs. Individual Excellence
Challenge: Most priority efforts require a whole-of-business effort to succeed in a complex environment. While many teams are increasingly tactically and operationally focused, competitive success requires that they connect their efforts to priority goals, while managing dependencies with other teams.
Solution: Fusion Cells invite the right people in with laser-focus on the mission, offering clear ways on how to move quickly and more powerfully, knowing how that boosts the shared effort.
Decision Support vs. Direct Action
Challenge: Traditional approaches often struggle to connect “information to decisions to action” quickly enough to adequately support priority work. Traditional reporting channels and approaches often slow and de-contextualize decision-making, even as increasing operational complexity and messaging on priority issues increasingly drives decision requests up the organizational hierarchy.
Solution: Clarity comes with focus. Rather than adding more data, and more decision-makers, it’s the right information at the right level. These are insights rather than bulky aspects of every division. The Fusion Cell blends “need to know” with norms that allow for trust in each member to offer what’s needed, when it’s needed.
This helps decision-makers at every level move faster because the goals are clear. Fusion Cell offers creative options already cross-checked with other relevant factors within the organization. Time is saved by only pushing out actionable insights, while the senior leaders get the high level operating picture.
Intelligence vs. Information
Challenge: Most organizations have too much data, and aggregate it in ways that can only be interpreted by those with the training to do so. Multiple operating pictures create confusion and teams struggle to understand what’s true for the organization, here and now. This drags down teams’ responsiveness as they try to sort through information to identify priorities and dependencies. Anxiety about missing the right competitive information and the prolonged planning process mean a slow response that still risks being off target.
Solution: A Fusion Cell filters the data, leverage expertise to “fuse” the right metrics into fact-based insights. One single operating picture emerges, based on the Cell’s constant action to contextualize the data. They add it to the broad plan, with action items, and allow for information to be pushed up and inform strategic thinking. This offers both a comprehensive view and the capacity for a nimble response.
