COMMERCIALISING VACCINES: IDENTIFYING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

This is a companion piece to Establishing Manufacturing Capabilities for Human Vaccines: Investment Costs and Factors to Consider white paper. This companion case study was produced to illustrate the concepts introduced in the white paper using real figures in South Africa.

For this project I worked from large, unwieldy documents that served as a "brain-dump" for my client, distilling the raw material into the final document with the help of follow up interviews and conversations. The subject material was entirely new to me, but I cannot stress how helpful my client was in helping me to understand. We were both extremely proud of the final product.

 

Client Testimonial

I don’t think there is a single thing that I can complain about during my work with Cecile. In fact, I was continually in awe of her ability to talk to me and within a few sentences understand my fuzzy thinking and somehow magically turn it into the right thing to put on paper. Furthermore, the subject matter was very technical and relatively advanced (Vaccine Manufacturing) and something she had no prior experience in. Somehow, she was able to extract the essence of the subject and put it into words in a manner that made comprehension a very dense topic very easy to read and understand. She was also able to remain flexible when my customer wanted to change the direction of the document mid stream. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I don’t believe I ever said it before and meant it, but she really is a joy to work with.

Plutora - Case study FOR MAJOR TELECOMS COMPANY

Plutora is the leading provider of software release management software, offering a complete suite of tools to manage release, environments, testing and deployment. 

Regularly working with some of the biggest enterprises in the world, Plutora  uses case studies to illustrate the benefits of their solution. Plutora approached me with some examples of existing case studies and tasked me with creating new content to fit their basic template. 

For this case study I worked from a recorded customer feedback interview and then provided a list of follow up questions to finalise the piece.


Drew & Co - Process Chilled Water System Upgrade

A global medical technology company that is advancing the world of health by improving medical discovery, diagnostics and the delivery of care. The forward-thinking company seeks to expand production capacity for new product ranges, while minimising energy consumption and CO2 emissions and maximising cost savings. In order to deliver a new system, without compromising the company’s core principles, at a reasonable cost the company sought to partner with a contractor who could deliver a fully designed, manufactured and installed system under one roof.

A key factor in the decision to appoint Drew and Co was its ability to carry out the full design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of the system “in house.” This would reduce the complexity of integration between sub-components of the system, which is often a pain point when using multiple providers within a traditional contract framework.
