JC's Newsletter - Global first
Dear friends,Every week, I’m sharing an essay that relates to what we are building and learning at Alan. Those essays are fed by the article I’m lucky enough to read and capitalise on. I’m going to try to be provocative in those essays to trigger a discussion with the community. Please answer, comment, and ping me! If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share it on social networks! Global-firstWhen running a company in multiple countries with specific healthcare systems, how to approach local vs. global? It is easy to fall into the trop of trying to reinvent the wheel in each country, constantly explaining why we should globalize and why our country needs this or that health service. That is why you see a very low number of healthcare companies operating in multiple countries. For Alan, the way we think about it is: rather than asking ourselves if a component could be reused in another country, we should ask ourselves each time why it could not be. Having spent a lot of time pitching to customers, engaging with them, and testing the product in our three countries, it is so much better to standardize our health experience because the needs are pretty much the same. The needs are to have access to the same preventive programs, the same medical needs, and the same insurance stack. Globalization goes beyond health experience, it is billing, onboarding, insurance risk management … Companies cannot afford to maintain different experiences and designs across countries. Given the opportunity and ease of having a unified experience, we should reduce divergences, streamline marketing and go-to-market strategies, simplify product development, and focus on providing the best experience regardless of the country. This accelerates business, increases quality and shortens go-to-market for a new country. Some good articles I have read this weekHealth👉Pourquoi les jeunes français se distinguent par une navrante performance : l’absentéisme (Le Figaro Emploi)
