How to Build a Best Practice Global Value Dossier With a Decision-first Strategy

Your global value dossier could be failing at the moment it matters most

Most global value dossiers (GVDs) are built to hold evidence, rather than drive decisions. Learn how to address this and equip your global and affiliate market access teams with a decision-first approach to value dossier preparation. Download the guide and start building GVDs that work as hard as your evidence does.

Why this value dossier preparation guide is a must-have

  • Explains why organizing a dossier around categories (rather than decisions) creates a critical gap at the point of local market access
  • Introduces the four structural pillars of a decision-first GVD, and how they work together to support affiliates in real-time
  • Provides a six-step framework for building and governing a best practice dossier

Key failures in value dossier preparation

❌ Organizing pharma value dossiers around categories, not decisions (evidence is buried and insights are missing, leaving gaps in local market access)

❌ Treating local adaptation as translation – swapping in local data within the global structure preserves the wrong story for a very different decision

❌ Poor governance – without defined owners, review triggers, and full narrative oversight, compliance risk increases with every update

❌ Review gaps – individually approved content blocks risk combining into a narrative that makes unsupported claims

What you’ll learn in this pharma value dossier guide

    • decision index
    • narrative basis
    • living governance layer
  • A six-step process for value dossier preparation around these pillars – from mapping decisions and deciders through to linking evidence and designing for maintenance
  • How to separate evidence from narrative so affiliates can adapt locally without compromising global claims or compliance integrity
  • What a living governance model looks like in a health value dossier, including owners, triggers, and review cadence for every module and narrative

Your evidence is only as strong as the decisions it drives. Download this best practice guide to value dossier preparation and start building GVDs that deliver market access outcomes ➡️
