Technology is always decades ahead of peoples’ willingness to use it. Increasingly biopharma and finance are tasked with being real-time and cutting edge while being historically risk averse. Technology pilots roll out regularly and can run forever, but what does it take to look at the results and make changes if they work? How do you balance the risk of a mistake versus the benefit of something that’s truly transformative? Eric Perakslis, Head of Takeda’s R&D Data Science Institute and former CIO of the FDA looks at value and benefit as a pathway to solve problems. Throughout his broad career, he has helped organizations to innovate, do what is optimal for them and be less risk-averse.
Eric will shed light on how to:
• Assess benefit risk and use it as a driver for decision making
• Win over hearts and minds of stakeholders to cut through red tape
• Look to the private sector for problem solving
