Our Approach

wise) to identify the assumptions and rationale for the proposed growth plan for FY 2020</p></li>
● Triangulated secondary research to obtain market size and future growth rates for service segments of
interest to the client to build market context
● Identified salient macro trends and drivers likely to impact the services within client’s portfolio</p></li>
● Build case studies of key players in the CDMO industry to identify competition and key success factors
of the players
● Developed guiding dimensions for the discussion for the workshop based on analyzing the key
success
Our Impact
