Industry Initiatives

From Understanding Problems to Creating Solutions

Decision Laboratories help organizations understand complex challenges. Sometimes they do something more: the blueprint they produce is put into action at industry scale — becoming a lasting industry solution.

A Decision Laboratory Success Story

Open Credentialing Initiative

As pharmaceutical trading partners moved toward greater interoperability, a critical question emerged: how can organizations establish trusted digital identities across organizational boundaries?

The research produced a blueprint — open specifications and an interoperable trust framework — and the industry put it into action as the Open Credentialing Initiative, a collaboration focused on trusted digital identity and Authorized Trading Partner verification.

Beyond OCI

Decision Laboratories can create new standards, new practices, new collaborations, new technologies, and new communities that continue long after a study is complete. An initiative is what happens when a tested blueprint is put into action by an entire industry.

Test the decisions. Build the blueprint. Put it into action.
