    • The ability to drive to consensus building across various functional perspectives

    • Development of patient informed TVP/TPP/TPL in collaboration with GPT functions to incorporate new data sources and methods (eg: Patient preferences, patient generated health data, digital innovation...) to identify meaningful clinical outcomes & tolerability, sub-populations at the highest unmet needs and drug delivery and care experience preferences.
