Turning conversations into performance: STEM AI wins Gold at the PM360 Trailblazer Awards

At Inizio Ignite, STEM, we are focused on helping field teams get more from every HCP conversation. Going beyond traditional KPIs to understand what is really happening in those interactions, what is working, where there are gaps and where there is an opportunity to improve. This gives field teams insight they can actually use, helping reps build on what is working and making coaching more meaningful and personalized.

That thinking led to STEM AI, and we are incredibly proud to see the solution awarded Gold in the App/Digital Solution category at the PM360 Trailblazer Awards.

“It was a fantastic moment to be there and see STEM AI recognized with Gold. There has been so much thought and work put into creating something that addresses a very real challenge for our clients, so to see that recognized by the industry was incredibly rewarding. It was a very proud moment for the whole team.” – Tim Luxford, Chief Commercial Officer, Inizio Ignite, STEM & Research Partnership

This win is also recognition of the teams, clients and field representatives whose input helped shape STEM AI. Bringing reps into that process has been key to creating a solution they can see value in, with insights that translate into meaningful coaching and interactions.

Seeing beyond the KPI

Getting time with HCPs is becoming harder. When those conversations do happen, understanding what took place and what can be learned from them is increasingly important.

Traditional measures can tell organizations a lot about field activity, but they do not always show how strategy is being executed within a conversation. Which messages are resonating? Where are adjustments needed? What are top performers doing differently? And how can those learnings be turned into timely, personalized coaching?

These are the client problems STEM AI was built to address.

STEM AI combines AI powered call recording and analysis with more than 18 years of pharmaceutical benchmarking expertise and human insight. It gives organizations visibility into HCP conversations so they can better understand performance and act on what they learn.

“I think the key thing here was that we got input from our clients, from the reps, that was key to how we built STEM AI, and to get the recognition of how that has come together, it’s just brilliant!” – Dani Heywood, Chief Operating Officer, Inizio Ignite, STEM & Research Partnership

From conversation to action

That starts with measuring strategy execution. Teams can understand how strategy shows up in the field, identify what is working, and see where gaps may exist.

It can also help organizations understand customer impact, identifying messages, tactics, and engagements that are generating a response.

There is then the opportunity to uncover best practices by looking at the behaviors and approaches of top performers and using those insights to help establish benchmarks across teams.

Importantly, those insights do not have to wait for the next review cycle. Teams can identify emerging risks and opportunities sooner, allowing for faster course correction when it is needed.

And at an individual level, STEM AI can help identify coaching opportunities from conversations, giving managers and field teams more specific and actionable areas to work on.

The reaction from clients has shown just how different that level of visibility can feel:

“We have not seen this kind of functionality and the level of thought that has clearly gone into this from any other providers…. I am amazed from what you’ve shown us today” – Director, Commercial Business Technologies, Top 20 Pharma

What this Gold means for STEM AI

Winning Gold at the PM360 Trailblazer Awards is significant for us because it recognizes not just the technology behind STEM AI, but the thinking that has gone into how it can be used in practice.

STEM AI was built around real client challenges and with input from the people closest to HCP conversations. The aim is simple: help organizations see beyond the KPI, understand what is happening in the field and use those insights to improve performance.

For us, this award is a brilliant recognition of how far that idea has come and the opportunity ahead to turn more conversations into performance.
