00:00:01.295 --> 00:00:03.150
(dramatic music)
2
00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:05.580
IVI was founded in 1997,
3
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.260
the first international organization
4
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:08.880
headquartered in the Republic of Korea
5
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.830
and the only international organization
6
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:13.320
anywhere in the world that has a mission to discover,
7
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.300
develop, and deliver safe, effective,
8
00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.400
and affordable vaccines for global health.
9
00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:23.220
We have a very unique mission in that we work on vaccines
10
00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:25.590
that the average big vaccine company
11
00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:28.020
wouldn't ever touch because these are vaccines
12
00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:29.580
for the poorest people in the world.
13
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:31.770
We call them unincentivized vaccines.
14
00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:34.470
There's vaccines for diseases that occur
15
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.270
in areas that are poverty-stricken,
16
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:38.670
in low and middle income countries around the world
17
00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:40.350
that don't have vaccine solutions
18
00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:41.853
to the problems that exist.
19
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.110
We had a mission, we're going to do vaccines.
20
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:49.140
But we didn't have a clear strategy on how to get there.
21
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:52.650
We weren't delivering as expected. We were losing money.
22
00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:54.840
We were having a hard time keeping people.
23
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.690
We weren't developing vaccines at the pace we wanted to.
24
00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:59.610
Where BCG fit in is they helped
25
00:00:59.610 --> 00:01:01.230
to put together that strategy.
26
00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:03.720
They helped us to link the vision, the mission,
27
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:06.810
the strategy, and even into the operations.
28
00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:08.820
And I'd say one of the things that distinguished BCG
29
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:10.350
from some of the other consulting groups
30
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:13.440
that I've worked with is they got into the weeds.
31
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:15.060
They didn't stay at 30,000 feet.
32
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:16.770
They went right down into the weeds
33
00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:18.330
with us, which we needed.
34
00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:21.060
For me personally, I think the opportunity to work
35
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:24.300
with IBI kind of throughout its transformation journey
36
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:26.910
has been a real privilege where I really saw
37
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:30.330
this collective engine of BCG expertise harnessed
38
00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:32.940
to bring the best possible value to our clients.
39
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:36.270
We were calling global health experts and vaccine experts
40
00:01:36.270 --> 00:01:40.050
in Germany and Paris and DC and Johannesburg,
41
00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:43.680
experts in governance in Singapore and Boston,
42
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.190
and just a host of other BCGers across our private
43
00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:49.293
and public and social sectors.
44
00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:55.170
What COVID did is it supercharged everything,
45
00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:58.350
where we were plugging along, knocking out the vaccines.
46
00:01:58.350 --> 00:02:01.308
All of a sudden, it just doubled up in ramp.
47
00:02:01.308 --> 00:02:04.170
(dramatic music)
48
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:06.900
We were in the right place. We had the right skills.
49
00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:08.910
We had the right team all around the world
50
00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:09.930
that could do this thing.
51
00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:11.160
We had good results at that point.
52
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.290
We were a credible partner to work with.
53
00:02:13.290 --> 00:02:15.570
By the time in 2021, when we were ready
54
00:02:15.570 --> 00:02:18.750
to do this next big iteration of the strategy cycle,
55
00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:21.330
IBI was just in this completely different place
56
00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:24.240
and really ready to think boldly about the future.
57
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.300
They had doubled in size financially.
58
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:30.120
They had been able to diversify their portfolio.
59
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.110
And they'd really bolstered some critical relationships
60
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:36.774
with donors and with other key stakeholders.
61
00:02:36.774 --> 00:02:39.240
(dramatic music)
62
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.690
So we're in a very exciting phase of IVI's growth.
63
00:02:42.690 --> 00:02:45.390
We are opening our first overseas office.
64
00:02:45.390 --> 00:02:46.680
We call it Original Office.
65
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.843
It will be located in Stockholm, in Sweden.
66
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:52.320
As we were preparing these pitches
67
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:54.330
and talking to different country officials,
68
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.750
it was incredibly energizing to see just the level
69
00:02:57.750 --> 00:03:00.000
of interest and excitement about IVI.
70
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.910
And I think it was a true testament to the immense amount
71
00:03:02.910 --> 00:03:05.820
of work that has happened since 2015 and the fact
72
00:03:05.820 --> 00:03:07.470
that they firmly established themselves
73
00:03:07.470 --> 00:03:10.350
as this nimble player in the global health space.
74
00:03:10.350 --> 00:03:12.450
There's some unique models that we want to try
75
00:03:12.450 --> 00:03:15.177
to put together and what we're doing with BCG now,
76
00:03:15.177 --> 00:03:18.900
is can we create partnerships in countries
77
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.380
or in regions such as Africa, where it can pull together
78
00:03:22.380 --> 00:03:26.040
multiple other foundations, multiple other governments,
79
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:30.270
not just Sweden, not just Korea, but many in Africa
80
00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:32.550
to solve some really big problems?
81
00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:34.350
And that's going to be this whole thing
82
00:03:34.350 --> 00:03:36.823
on a exponential scale.
83
00:03:36.823 --> 00:03:39.573
