#3. My perspective is that the company should realign with its core mission: "Science for a Better Life." Instead of pushing forward hastily, a strategic pause to reassess and develop more sustainable scientific advancements will ultimately strengthen its position.

That said, not to sound patronising, this isn’t to suggest the company and its leadership aren’t already making efforts in this direction. However, for those studying this as a case, here are some key takeaways:

1. Evaluate & Streamline: Critically assess the current product range and "spring clean" where needed.

2. Invest in What Works: For products that have naturally gained traction, amplify their impact through outreach.

3. Support Ongoing Progress: If a product shows promising but incomplete results, continued investment is vital.

4. Encourage Unconventional Solutions: Innovation often emerges from unexpected problem-solution combinations—these deserve attention.

Ultimately, bringing common sense back to an organization that risks losing direction requires strong, decisive leadership. A leader who prioritizes thoughtful, mission-driven decisions will be instrumental in steering the company forward.

When in doubt- go back to the basics. The question : why do we exist?
