How do you build a digital ecosystem with multiple participants which enables interoperability, achieves scale, and drives innovation?

Outlining the main drivers spearheading the digital transformation in R&D
Building an architecture both internally and alongside partners to foster collaboration and deploy advances across the value chain: from discovery to commercial
Designing a system which is impactful, intuitive, connected, and intelligent to then reveal new connections, drive better decisions, enabling and creating new approaches to discovery

Hal Stern, VP & CIO, Pharmaceutical R&D, Janssen

09:30

The concept ‘lab of the future’ is not new, so why does this vision elude us?

Increasing collaboration of all stakeholders and disciplines: instead of silos we needto build bridges to interact
Practically applying digitalization: we need to get to know the digital tools and possibilities available for scientists and we need to learn how to apply them for our lab of the future
Manage the change professionally: change causes resistant as a natural reaction, so we need to pay attention and action for professional change management
Do not try to define your lab of the future at the micro-level but establish a robust and flexible ecosystem, that can be adapted continuedly to your needs
