Designing the AI-Enabled Biopharma Workforce Summit
2025-12-02 - 2025-12-03 | W Boston, 100 Stuart Street, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
The World’s Only Industry-Specific Forum on AI-Oriented Skills-Centric Workforce Transformation in Life Sciences
Most roles in biopharma organizations will undergo an AI-driven transformation in the coming years. But exactly how that transformation manifests itself, in what jobs, with what skills, and across what proportion of our workforces is not yet fully clear.
What is clear, though, is that the future depends on what we do now. The most forward-thinking companies already know that innovation doesn’t just happen at the bench, it also takes place company-wide in working out what needs to be done, how, and by whom.
They are building future workforce capability faster by reassessing the needs of each department and fundamentally rethinking what work is best done by people versus what can be automated with technology. For the first time, this forum will shine a light on how this is done.
Taking part will help you approach organizational design with a new perspective which is skills centric, rather than job centric and allow you to walk away with a new skills taxonomy that will help you deliver more productivity and more innovation from fewer people in less time.
