The life sciences industry (including pharmaceuticals, medical device and biotech) faces unprecedented headwinds due to the combination of CMS negotiating prices for Medicare and Medicaid, the expiry of patents, and the end of the blockbuster regime with an estimated revenue loss of $1 to $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years.

Based on the rather depressing outlook, it is clear that operations—including manufacturing, supply chain, global business services (GBS) and decision science need to drive the dissolution of functional boundaries, align with enterprise topline priorities, and deliver with AI-enabled solutions. That roadmap will need an enterprise-scale transformation with creative partnerships.

To address these challenges and opportunities, this roundtable will bring together those leading operations within life sciences—such as manufacturing, supply chain, and GBS/shared services leaders, as well as CFOs, CIOs, and heads of decision science, AI, innovation, and transformation—to explore:

  • The evolving role of operations amid unprecedented industry headwinds, including balancing aggressive cost management with revenue generation and broader strategic objectives.
  • How technology providers and business service providers can help life sciences operations meet the demands of the future.
  • Key lessons life sciences operations can learn from other industries—the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Why attend?
  • The past is not the future: With the industry facing unprecedented revenue pressures, this roundtable gives you the chance to engage with peers on how life sciences operations can reinvent itself—from a transactional back office to a true strategic growth engine.
  • AI is real: Cut through the AI noise. Learn from real-world examples and discuss how to harness AI in practical, measurable ways that deliver genuine value to your organization.
  • Ecosystems matter: Success in life sciences increasingly depends on the partnerships you build. Discover how leading organizations are shaping powerful ecosystems that drive innovation and performance.
