The mission of System Design, LLC is to enable our clients innovation through design. We offer consulting and educational programs (including certification) in our Collective Lean System Design™(CSD) process. CSD is used by our clients to overcome barriers and to ensure successful and sustainable lean-sigma implementations. CSD enables our clients to design systems and processes to truly meet internal and external customer needs… the reason for long-term business success. CSD includes a system design language to clearly articulate design requirements, solutions and performance measures to sustain the design. The use of the system design language enables lean accounting for client's organizations.

At the heart of CSD is the realization that system design must combine the thinking, the action and the spirit of the people in organizations. CSD application includes a step-by-step “diagnosis to design” path that helps our clients to realize why they get stuck and through design, become unstuck. CSD is a proven, people-focused technical leadership process that ensures lasting lean-sigma implementations and that goes the distance “after lean.”

BioMedical Strategies LLC (BMS) offers customized strategic services for clients in the biomedical and pharmaceuticals industries, at all stages of clinical development and marketing. The company's mission is to assist clients in bringing their innovative medical products to the market more expeditiously and profitably by enabling companies to outsource a wide variety of services: all Regulatory Services necessary for product approval, Clinical Studies, Reimbursement Strategy, Assessments, Reports, Analysis, Competitive Intelligence, Product Positioning and more.

While innovative medical technology is transforming America's healthcare system, only 10-20 % patients who could benefit from innovative products and therapies actually receive them. This is due to either lack of coverage or slow, unresponsive and uncoordinated coverage, coding and reimbursement decisions by Medicare and a myriad of other payer organizations. This results in significant delays in the bench to bedside cycle and poor return-on-investment. In addition, this void threatens to exacerbate existing inequities in the American healthcare system and could ultimately lead to the demise of innovative medical products.

In today's evolving biomedical market, one thing seems clear: top scientists and secure funding are not enough. Companies have to be successful in order to maintain top talent and generate continuous revenue. Success demands new criteria. As Medicare is increasingly scrutinizing costs, the need for effective and proactive regulatory and reimbursement strategies, economic analyses, and consideration of third party coverage are crucial to determine timelines and significant revenues. The following are our key areas of expertise:

•  Clinical Research , Study Plans, Statistics, Outcomes, Economics

•  Regulatory Submissions and Quality Systems

•  Reimbursement Coverage, Payment, Coding, Technology Assessment

•  Marketing , Research, Competitive Analysis, and Quantitative Marketing

BMS has over 15 years of experience in business & product development, market research, competitive analysis, product launches, reimbursement, government relations, scientific research, invention as well as providing secure funding to emerging companies during product development and launch.
