“My perspective on insight generation combines two lenses: One takes a curious approach to stakeholders, decisions, and possibilities in the Nordic healthcare systems. The other seek to understand how pharmaceutical companies are organized, go-to-markets and innovate to re-invent themselves.”

Frequently asked questions

Nordic market insights reveal the underlying factors shaping your market,  including patient behavior, HCP decisions, and competitive dynamics. By uncovering why your market is moving in a particular direction, you gain the clarity needed to adjust your strategy and act with confidence. 

Asking the right questions determines whether your research yields actionable insights or surface-level findings. We help you define the core issues, identify hidden dynamics, and explore questions that reveal growth opportunities. 

The Nordic systems differ in structure, incentives, patient pathways, and adoption logic. Understanding these nuances requires a research approach tailored to local practices. Our Nordic Market Insights team combines curiosity about system stakeholders with deep knowledge of the pharma value chain. 

By examining patient journeys, HCP decision drivers, treatment gaps, and competitive weaknesses, you can identify unmet needs and overlooked segments. These insights highlight where your product can deliver additional value and where you have a competitive edge.  

Whether you’re addressing stagnant growth, inefficient operations, unclear market fit, or a need for strategic repositioning, we help you diagnose the root cause. This gives you targeted actions with measurable impact, rather than scattered efforts.
