A message from the partners at Dao Concepts, LLC: Dao Concepts is a consultant group working to elevate the level of importance of bringing a cost-per-unit model to the pharmaceutical distribution supply-chain. Over the past two years, the partners at Dao Concepts have been working with strategic partners to launch a new distribution model--Linear B Exchange--a strategic alliance of partners uniquely positioned to enable a Direct-to-Pharmacy Solution.

Dao Concepts, LLC was founded on the philosophy that individuals have the answers within themselves. Our goal is to help individuals “discover the way from within,” thus enabling them to continue to find solutions and be in balance on their own—both personally and professionally— when we’re gone. Our goal is to help individuals on a personal level, as well as to help professionals positively influence organizations. We fully recognize that change is one of the most difficult concepts to master.

Most organizations and individuals try to manage change, versus leading change. In addition to providing consultant services around pharmaceutical distribution, our core competency is helping individuals effectively lead change and projects in a healthy, unique, balanced approach, to achieve organizational goals. Our process takes clients through our general educational services, tailoring where necessary.


As a means to facilitate meaningful dialogue/action to improve our healthcare system, we have created Impetusforchange.org, a "think tank" for pharmaceutical prfoessionals.
