We prefer to maintain things as they are vs the unknown of the future caused by change.
We might deceive ourselves and say we embrace change, but in reality, it’s a much different story.
If 2020 has shown us anything, it is that change is inevitable whether we like it, are prepared for it or not.
Luckily, nature also provided us with another mental bias that balances out and even precedes our love for status quo. It is called the Prospect Theory.
Here’s how it works: Research has shown that we humans really, and we mean REALLY hate to lose. We hate losing so much we are even prepared to take risks to avoid it.
For example, abandoning the status quo for the unknown future.
This discovery won the Nobel Prize.
The need to change accelerated by 2020 has impacted pharmaceutical companies with how they interact and engage with healthcare stakeholders. They have experienced new challenges that began in 2020 and continue this year such as:
- – The need to move engagements and product messaging quickly to omni-channel digital platforms.
- – Finding the move to digital excellence isn’t easy as expected.
- – Continued access issues.
Despite all these challenges, many companies have not shifted their tactical approach to a strategic one with their customers. A lot have simply taken existing tactics and pushed them to omni-channel digital marketing and sales, hoping for different results but not seeing what they expected.
We know a lot of companies are still resistant to change despite the need to change.

You’ll need to define the compelling reason WHY your colleagues have to abandon the present and move into the future. Clarity begins with an audits of current performance and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of an organization. This can be challenging and make people uncomfortable at times. However, if you’re serious about getting everyone aligned for change, it is a must. The more your company embraces change, the more of a positive impact they will see.
We help our clients to make improvements from challenges such as:
– Negative call frequency statistics?
– Diminishing number of collaborative projects with key accounts?
