Data
14:00 – 15:00

Historically, a successful pharma commercial team’s “core business” was excellence in things like Brand, Launch, Omni-Channel, People, and Processes. Topics of Technology and Data tended to be managed separately and used as supporting or ad-hoc ‘boosts’ to core business operations. Today, AI and Data are fast becoming critical components of “core business” that a modern pharma leader must understand, grapple with, and embed in their teams to stay competitive. Join us in a discussion on this rapidly developing trend and how leading companies today are handling it.
