As the advisory division of ProductLife Group, ProductLife Consulting has been created to meet clients demand in the context of business model shifts: Driven by a need to accelerate the time to market for medicines and health products together with the accelerating digital transformation, life sciences companies need a dedicated partner. ProductLife Consulting was created to support life sciences companies in their decision-making and optimal implementation of those decisions.
Our team has delivered 60+ projects for 20+ clients since its inception, with close to half of them global in scope.
Our projects are led by seasoned consulting professionals and managed by experienced consultants.

When required, we can bring hands-on experience on topics such as product development, clinical operations, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing and distribution.
ProductLife Consulting services cover both strategy and enterprise transformation
Strategy consulting
Our strategy advisory service offers business decision support for life sciences companies, offering growth strategy, M&A and market access strategy support.
We offer bespoke services for life sciences companies, big and small, including early stage. We leverage secondary research, internal expertise and external insights in the form of market research or advisory boards to answer our client’s strategic questions. What makes us different is the visibility we have across the different functions in the business, notably product development, clinical operations, regulatory and operations.
Enterprise transformation consulting
Building the organizations of tomorrow may involve big changes or small realignments in the way a division operates. Our mission when it comes to business transformation is to understand how best to align the people, processes and systems with the company’s vision and support our clients in making it happen. Ultimately we want our clients to deliver more value for their employees, customers and shareholders, and will strive to measure the increase in performance our work achieves. Our business transformation services cover business transformation and change management, digital transformation and operational excellence services.
Working with ProductLife Consulting
From the shaping of a detailed proposal to the final delivery, we stay in close contact with our clients to ensure we focus our work on their most pressing questions.
Strategy projects duration span from a few weeks for due diligence projects to a few months for strategy development, during which we create deliverables as agreed at the outset. Although our teams work from the office or remotely, when possible, we run kickoff sessions and major milestones reviews in-person.
Business transformation projects tend to span over longer periods of time, from a few months to a year or two. For those projects, not only our teams will design a new solution and make a recommendation, but they will also guide client teams in implementing it.
