Background
Our client wanted to build a digital health portfolio that supported their 3 million members. Main goals where to attract new members and corporate customers with a digital health offering and to reduce claims costs.
R2G’s approach
The project was executed based on R2G’s innovation management approach. It was divided into six major steps:

- Piloting: Selected partners were engaged in a 9 months service localization and pilot phase managed by R2G.
- Service development and sales support: R2G defined the value proposition inkling pricing and customer segmentation to support service uptake and member acquisition.
- Definition of the operational model and change management: R2G developed the company’s roles and responsibility model to partner with selected startups. A series of change management workshops supported the awareness and acceptance of partner solutions and processes.
