Moneyball for Pharmacists: Winning with Agile Teams, Not Bigger Budgets

In honor of the World Series this week, this episode compares the business of pharmacy to the baseball-themed book and movie Moneyball. The full title of the book is Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, by Michael Lewis. The story is about how the Oakland A's baseball team used data and statistics to build a winning team — even on a tight budget.

 

The FULL show notes are on thepharmacistsvoice.com.

 

In this episode, I invite you (my audience) to be part of this conversation. I'm looking for 10 pharmacists (techs, owners, professors, or students) to record up to five minutes of input about how any pharmacy setting can thrive by leveraging pharmacist skills, serving changing patient needs, and optimizing limited resources.

 

If you'd like to be part of my second episode about Moneyball for Pharmacists (I'll call it Moneyball for Pharmacists 2.0), use the contact form on my website to schedule your five-minute interview. My website is www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Once I have 10 responses, I'll publish Moneyball for Pharmacists 2.0. It will be before my show format changes to monthly in January 2026.

 

This episode covers several parallels between Moneyball and pharmacy.

• Competing with limited resources
• The data
• The players
• The strategy
• The Moneyball mindset
• My call to action
