Digital is already transforming R&D: Are you ready?


To assess your organization’s digital adoption readiness, we suggest asking functional and technology leadership teams the following:

Current state: What is your digital footprint today?

Future state: Have you defined it?

Alignment: Is your organization onboard with it?

Path forward: Do you have a plan to achieve it?

Digital R&D Transformation: How do you get there?


Some R&D organizations appear ‘digital’ yet few have built the necessary capabilities to realize digital’s potential value. To do that, companies should consider the following actions:

Assess the current digital footprint within your R&D organization and across the enterprise

Create the ‘art of the possible’ future state inspired by examples within and outside the industry

Seek to understand stakeholder needs and expectations to shape optimalexperiences across therapeutic areas and R&D functions

Align on the right vision, strategy and prioritization for organizational buy-in

Build a roadmap to achieve the desired future state, inclusive of timelines, resources, and budget
