Global pharma company Biotage developed a new growth strategy, the 1BN Company.

The goal: grow revenue from 650 million to 1 billion. In a 3-day strategy kick-off in Spain, the Innovation Pyramid was used as the opening tool, to get the whole company on the same page, get them a shared language for innovation, and help them expand their thinking on innovation.
