 Our Perspective

The name MATRIX45 was chosen to reflect our thinking, our scientific orientation, and our approach to serving clients.

Think of the javelin thrower who wants to achieve the best arc, longest air time, and farthest distance to capitalize on the physical power she applies to her throw - all of which require a launch release at exactly 45 degrees.  It takes hard training, sustained practice, and a commitment to learn to achieve that 45^o release angle consistently and confidently - especially during the meet when the number of throws is limited, the exposure high, and the competition intense.  Physical strength propels, but the 45^o angle leads to excellence - to sustained excellence (the men's world record has been held since 1996 by Jan Zelezny.  Click on his name for a video clip of his perfect throw).

Knowledge to change is MATRIX45's motto.  We assist our clients in asking questions, looking for answers, and translating answers into new processes.  We want to generate useable knowledge - knowledge that gives direction and advantage.  Knowledge at that 45^o angle.

MATRIX45 wants its clients to channel their strengths and to find that 45^o angle that leads to enduring competitive success.  Our biopharma clients will recognize the emphasis on phases 4 and 5 in a drug's scientific lifecycle -  with its challenges of understanding market dynamics, positioning, evolving practices, and new indications.  However, our rich knowledge and skill mix makes MATRIX45 uniquely qualified to serve the evidence-based strategy and decision-making challenges of a diverse healthcare client base.

What We Are

A niche firm, MATRIX45 specializes in strategy-driven projects focused on developing and applying evidence and knowledge bases in healthcare.  Our expertise lies in integrating healthcare, science, and evidence-based strategic change - using, as appropriate, technology-enabled approaches.  We know healthcare, from the clinical to the operational.  We are credentialed scientists with international and multicultural experience.  We understand strategy within a market-driven context.  We differentiate regionally and globally.  We use technology intelligently.  We are healthcare consultants and scientists.

So, what are we not?  We are not a management consultancy nor a contract research organization.  We do not provide data entry and management services.  We do not develop technology.  We are not a medical education and communication company nor an advertising agency.  [We have alliances with all such companies, or we will work with your preferred specialty vendors].

We are a dedicated "niche" scientific consultancy, thriving on intellectual challenges and pragmatic solutions.  We intend to stay that way.
