Abstract

This session dives into a central question: Should Medical Affairs in MedTech move toward a more standardized model to enhance clarity, value, and impact—or does its current diversity reflect necessary adaptability to different business models and innovation cycles? In this dynamic 90-minute debate, expert panelists will present opposing viewpoints: one advocating for standardization and core focus, the other championing flexibility and expanded mandates.

Abstract

Over the course of 90 minutes together, we’ll confront a hard, but necessary truth: AI adoption is not a technology problem; it’s a readiness problem.This is not a session about what AI can do. It’s a session about what it takes to make AI successful—at scale, with trust, and in service of driving reliable and sustainable impact. We’ll tackle the AI adoption challenge at its roots: operational and organizational readiness.

Attendees will return to their organizations with tools to assess their own readiness, close capability gaps, and design a practical plan to scale AI adoption and more importantly, sustain its success..
