Shaping transformations to deliver at pace and embed change

This event was previously titled ‘Taking the Medicine – Learning from Pharma and Life Sciences’.

It is important for companies to challenge the way their industries operate.

The insight you can gain from other sectors is endless and taking the time to consider the challenges other industries face, and how to overcome them, will enable businesses to think more creatively and develop richer solutions.

It’s never been a more appropriate time to reflect on the success of the pharmaceutical industry. The most recent accomplishment, developing a vaccine for COVID-19 in record time, is just one example of how robust planning, focused supply chain management, and cross-sector collaboration can deliver outstanding results.

There are many holistic learnings from this and similar projects that are applicable to all organisations, regardless of size, industry or market. For example, pharmaceutical companies are well versed in securing project funding, failing fast in development, creating partnerships and transforming end to end in a highly regulated environment. By considering these and other strengths, we can better understand how they can be replicated in other sectors.

The aim of this event is to spark ideas and initiate conversations that inspire fresh perspectives for planning and executing major projects in other sectors. The afternoon will consist of two panel discussions in exploring key themes of  accelerating delivery and championing change. We will also put a spotlight on the development of Megalabs in Leamington Spa, and discuss key takeaways from this momentous project which has transformed the UK’s diagnostic facilities.
