Keynote: What is the Equation for Change

The first webinar, Adopting the Digital Mindset part one, was off to a flying start.

Here are the key learnings and some responses from the participants:

Digital Adoption begins by adopting a digital mindset. This was illustrated by the example of Chuck Yeager, a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air force, who became the first person in history, to break the Sound Barrier.
Key learning from Chuck Yeager: "You cannot fly a supersonic aircraft with a subsonic mindset. First, break the barrier in your mindset."
Similarly, you cannot adopt digital technology without making a big shift in your mindset – adopt the Growth Mindset, which focuses on continuous efforts to learn and practice.
Changes like digital adoption is necessary, but it is not easy. Digital adoption requires vision from the top leadership, new skills by all who are involved in the change effort, the right incentives to drive the change, resources that are needed and finally a time bound action plan. Absence of these five factors, lead to confusion, anxiety, gradual change, frustration and false starts.

One great thing brought about: Segmentation of customers in parameter of their digital behaviour, that helps in content creation , platform application targeted to specific segments of digital curve and meet ultimate objective of reception of key messages. Whichever company is able to do that will be ahead of the curve and create differentiation. Agree all starts with MINDSET. Necessity is the mother of Invention - True for all level.

Unable to log in for today's webinar. Trying hard. Vivek

How can I access today webinar as I have just joined and looking forward for great insights!

I would be interested in this. Please allow me.

Anup sir, I have seen both the webinor and i think of you as some body who has researched a lot on day to day matters of pharmaceutical Reps and Managers. my question is in india most of the companies are only selling "me too" drugs and very few have research molecules and that's why information given by Reps is repeatative and hence doctors generally don't get new information from such Reps and Managers. what would be the role of such companies and people in future?

Thank you Ajit.

Products can be commodity. But services must be unique.

Just need to find the what the doctor needs to make each patient journey a better experience for him and the patient and provide those services.

Salil Kallianpur will be talking about this in his forthcoming sessions.

sir looking forward for Mr Kallianpur's session

Sir ,

It's good that new avenues of telemedicine are being explored but in hindsight, it will also create more confusion amongst patients. The availability of health advice on finger click will lead to multiple opinions as you will flip your health files with multiple Dr at your convenience and then trying to judge whos advice to follow. (Justlike we flip news channel and get confused as which news is authentic). -Dr Google Vs Dr Zoom

Ideally the telemedicine should be strongly backed and in sync with national treatment guidelines which, unfortunately, are not in existence in India.

Also most likely Its gone open a new pandora box of Medico -legal case as all the medical advice and consultation is recorded and can substitute as evidence in the court of law. (Especially related to off label use and unapproved combination , unecessary diagnostic test )

Adidtional Cost of Telemedicien can be a burden - until it is covered by Medical Insurance.

Propensity of Missuese by HCP / Hospital - Number of Teleconsultation ( Rationale will be Questionable by Insurance )

Increased Competition amongst Dr as each of them would like to be rated best among the rest (Practo Fiasco - ) if they are listed on common portal.

Since the data points in virtual world are traceable it may lead to information poaching / online spiders trawls of practice trends / information breach and subsequent sale of information by E- Pharmacies and Tele-Health Portal to Pharma Companies ( Competitive intelligence )
