    • answer_1<p>My team operates in Silicon Valley with three goals: bring Silicon Valley perspective and knowledge into our company; find and incubate new partners (especially start-ups) to demonstrate the power of new technology and approaches, and build a West Coast presence that leverages technology as well as life science leadership.</p> <p>My team sits in IT, so we serve all therapy areas and functions. Technology is changing the game in many industries – or eating the world, as Marc Andreessen might say. We look for innovation that can bring medicines to market more quickly, or make therapies more effective. This could be re-imagining how we recruit or operate clinical trials, delivering mobile services that complement our medicines, or applying machine intelligence for clinical or patient support.</p> <p>Our industry is complex, so we work closely with internal teams for the necessary scientific, clinical, and business domain expertise. We are a catalyst, empowering innovation rather than trying to own it in our team. This requires new technology skills in areas such as data analytics or IoT, as well as soft skills in communication, influencing and teamwork. We prioritize based on the importance that differentiating new technology plays in the opportunity, whether the potential value is incremental or transformational, and how closely the company matches our current needs and therapy area focus. </p>
    • answer_2<p>Healthcare and drug development are highly regulated environments, with enormous - often literally life-and-death – impact on people’s lives. This makes innovation all the more important, but it has to be done carefully and respectfully.</p> <p>Regulators have a very difficult job to keep up with impending changes, and sometimes lag the “state of the art” in areas like social media, or machine learning. How will a regulator assess a machine learning algorithm that doesn’t offer a clear rationale for a diagnosis, for example?</p> <p>Another challenge is the complexity and deep specialization required across multiple scientific and technological domains. We need people with deep knowledge in both technology and science or clinical areas – or who have exceptional ability to work with together. </p> <p>The healthcare environment is a complex and fragmented system with many regional variants, and even though we are a large multinational, our impact on the overall system can be limited. People like to say it is easy to pilot a healthcare innovation, but hard to scale it.</p> Finally, we have a very successful core business. It can be hard to convince highly accomplished people of the need to change - especially when many aspects of digital health are still generating clinical evidence, or have very different operating models.
    • answer_3<p>One of the hardest parts about embedding innovation is moving from a successful proof-of-concept into widespread adoption. </p> <p>Ideally, at a grass-roots level, we work jointly with highly motivated internal stakeholders at a very early stage, so that if we are successful there is a home for the project to land and grow. This is a balancing act – at times, we need to push the envelope too!</p> <p>However, top down executive visibility and endorsement is critical. When our leaders understand technology trends and potential impact on our business, they provide invaluable recognition and support of projects that might otherwise “fly under the radar” or be seen as optional. Executive support has also helped to embed innovation objectives for employees more broadly – moving everyone from innovation “if and when I have time” to “a core part of my job, which I’m accountable to deliver.”  </p>
    • answer_4<p>There are huge advances in the way we store, transfer, use, and think about data, software and devices. The real change is driven not by a single technology, but by the combination of several: cloud computing, increasing digitization of healthcare, more personal and linked data, connected devices in the hands of patients, and changes in the ways we interact with computers.</p> <p>We are arriving at a new class of data-empowered healthcare tools. Formerly invisible factors involving behavior, diet, environment, genetics, omics, or early cancer risk can now be measured and assist in risk assessment and diagnosis support. The cost of sensors and medical grade devices is decreasing, improving our ability to monitor continuously. Machine intelligence is exceeding human ability to recognize patterns in medical images and data. This opens possibilities to identify patients at risk, understanding disease progression, and analyzing historical and real time data and making appropriate recommendations.   </p> <p>At the same time, issues like cybersecurity, privacy and cost sustainability must be addressed if we’re to realize these benefits without introducing unacceptable risks.  </p>
    • answer_5<p>I am most excited by companies that surprise me and challenge the way I think – bringing fresh approaches to some of our industry’s longstanding challenges. I believe there is huge potential in combining the rigor of science with the power of human-centered design. One company is using sensors and data analytics to quantify the degree of control in asthma patients, which could help predict an attack days before it would otherwise have happened. I’m also fascinated by “doctors on demand” services and the degree to which smart logistics, advanced teleconferencing, conversational UI and machine learning-enabled clinical support could improve the experience of healthcare while dramatically lowering costs. And I am excited about companies who are thinking about the whole ecosystem – for example, one that is looking to create an “app store” for genomics, challenging potential partners to offer value at a very personal level to their customer base. </p> <p>The variety and impact these companies will have is part of what makes my role such an exciting and rewarding one!</p>

        • description<p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p>The Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network, in partnership with DBM Cloud Systems and the CMO Council, is undertaking research into the forces, factors, challenges and requirements driving the need for improved data logistics in today’s multi-cloud world. Global enterprises are seeking to integrate vast repositories of data across multiple public and private clouds and on-premise systems to extract more value, use and return on these assets. In particular, this relates to decision-support analytics, product and service delivery, customer intelligence and personalized engagement, operational improvement, business compliance, and continuity.</p> <p>While multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments provide major advantages, they also increase the complexity of managing, translating, processing and moving data. Chief Data Officers, infrastructure IT executives and others in the enterprise are now seeking new and innovative ways to gain greater control, visibility, performance and efficiency in the way they manage data to optimize its value.</p> <p>The program will engage data and IT executives from major companies, as well as leading system integrators, consulting firms and solution providers to understand needs, requirements and best practices in optimizing data economics, protection and logistics in today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The growing importance of the Chief Data Officer underscores widespread recognition of the essential role and value of data and analytics in the modern, agile customer-centric enterprise. This is further compounded by the significant cost, challenge and complexity of unifying, migrating, replicating, protecting, storing and governing data “ponds, lakes and dams” in today’s multi-cloud and hybrid cloud computing environments.</p> <p>Data has become one of the chief engines of value creation. Its role in improving analytical decision making, enhancing our ability to understand, reach and engage customers, and increasing the value of both existing and new products and services has made data a highly valued currency and asset base for enterprises operating digitally across data borders, ramparts and fences.</p> <p>Fueled by an explosive proliferation of new data sources—from mobile computing, social media and rich media applications and services, to the advent of the Internet of Things, which will generate some 50 million connected sensors by the end of 2020—the amount and variety of data being stored is growing exponentially.  According Seagate Technology, the amount of data generated worldwide will increase to 163 zettabytes by 2025 from 12 zettabytes in 2015.</p> <p>In today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world, better Data Logistics and Performance Management (DLPM) has become essential to competing in the Data Economy. According to 451 Research, some 80 percent of companies are now utilizing two or more clouds. Three-quarters of companies say they are pursuing a hybrid/multi-cloud strategy.</p> <p>In this highly distributed compute environment, the requirements to understand where data resides across multiple public clouds and on-premise systems and cost-effectively store, protect and move data to its optimal location becomes critical. With the coming rise of edge computing and micro-data centers designed to bring data and applications closer to users to reduce latency and thereby improve application and workload performance, data management and logistics become even more complex. The edge is creating even more data, with increased data volumes having to be transmitted across networks and between clouds.</p> <p>Object-based data storage is now the dominant storage architecture globally, particularly in the cloud, and will be used to store 85 percent of the world’s data by 2025. Developed initially to handle the explosive growth of unstructured data, such as video, images, web pages, log files and IoT data, object storage saves data along with associated metadata in blocks as objects that can contain multiple information formats.</p> <p>It has a variety of advantages over file and block storage, including massive scalability, greater flexibility via metadata for analytics, better governance, faster retrieval, and improved cost efficiencies. In addition, continued technical advances are improving both the performance and the applicability of object storage for new use cases. A major challenge, however, is that the object-based storage systems used my various cloud providers are all different, making data synchronization and translation a challenge.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Data Logistics Mandate</strong></p> <p>In this new world, Chief Data Officers and CIOs must optimize how they manage vast volumes of data across multiple clouds and data environments through better data logistics. There are more data silos, greater distribution of data, vast increases in volume, and a growing demand to understand, protect and exploit data for business growth and optimization while holding down costs.</p> <p>Among those logistical challenges are the need to keep track of where data resides, and cost-effectively synchronize, replicate and move data to optimize value, efficiency, security and governance based on cost differences, processing and analytics capabilities, performance advantages, and regulatory requirements.</p> <p>Organizations need to be able to be able to identify what data needs to be replicated and effectively transmitted and synchronized across different clouds and on-premise locations to improve the availability, security and value of data.</p> <p>For example, organizations increasingly need to move data to specific service providers to conduct analytics or take advantage of specific vendor technologies, lower processing and storage costs, or meet geographic requirements. Particularly when data replication and synchronization is a continuous activity, organizations need to automate this process based on established rules and policies to improve cost efficiency, eliminate errors and reduce management complexity.</p> <p>For object storage data, the capacity to fully utilize metadata to identify location, type and value is now a critical aspect of data logistics, as is the ability to transfer data with a minimum amount of performance degradation and data corruption. New solutions that can handle replication outside of the data path are delivering improved visibility, performance and data quality.</p> <p>Advancing data logistics is a major imperative for today’s data-driven organizations and their chief data officers. The mandate to improve data availability, performance, value and cost-efficiency will be a critical competitive differentiator in a multi-cloud, mega-data world.<br /><br /><strong>To get involved in this initiative, please reach out to <a href="mailto:dmurray@bpinetwork.org">Dave Murray</a>. </strong></p>

        • summaryThis initiative aims to explore the forces, factors, challenges and requirements driving the need for improved data logistics in today’s multi-cloud world.
        • description<p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p>The Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network, in partnership with DBM Cloud Systems and the CMO Council, is undertaking research into the forces, factors, challenges and requirements driving the need for improved data logistics in today’s multi-cloud world. Global enterprises are seeking to integrate vast repositories of data across multiple public and private clouds and on-premise systems to extract more value, use and return on these assets. In particular, this relates to decision-support analytics, product and service delivery, customer intelligence and personalized engagement, operational improvement, business compliance, and continuity.</p> <p>While multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments provide major advantages, they also increase the complexity of managing, translating, processing and moving data. Chief Data Officers, infrastructure IT executives and others in the enterprise are now seeking new and innovative ways to gain greater control, visibility, performance and efficiency in the way they manage data to optimize its value.</p> <p>The program will engage data and IT executives from major companies, as well as leading system integrators, consulting firms and solution providers to understand needs, requirements and best practices in optimizing data economics, protection and logistics in today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The growing importance of the Chief Data Officer underscores widespread recognition of the essential role and value of data and analytics in the modern, agile customer-centric enterprise. This is further compounded by the significant cost, challenge and complexity of unifying, migrating, replicating, protecting, storing and governing data “ponds, lakes and dams” in today’s multi-cloud and hybrid cloud computing environments.</p> <p>Data has become one of the chief engines of value creation. Its role in improving analytical decision making, enhancing our ability to understand, reach and engage customers, and increasing the value of both existing and new products and services has made data a highly valued currency and asset base for enterprises operating digitally across data borders, ramparts and fences.</p> <p>Fueled by an explosive proliferation of new data sources—from mobile computing, social media and rich media applications and services, to the advent of the Internet of Things, which will generate some 50 million connected sensors by the end of 2020—the amount and variety of data being stored is growing exponentially.  According Seagate Technology, the amount of data generated worldwide will increase to 163 zettabytes by 2025 from 12 zettabytes in 2015.</p> <p>In today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world, better Data Logistics and Performance Management (DLPM) has become essential to competing in the Data Economy. According to 451 Research, some 80 percent of companies are now utilizing two or more clouds. Three-quarters of companies say they are pursuing a hybrid/multi-cloud strategy.</p> <p>In this highly distributed compute environment, the requirements to understand where data resides across multiple public clouds and on-premise systems and cost-effectively store, protect and move data to its optimal location becomes critical. With the coming rise of edge computing and micro-data centers designed to bring data and applications closer to users to reduce latency and thereby improve application and workload performance, data management and logistics become even more complex. The edge is creating even more data, with increased data volumes having to be transmitted across networks and between clouds.</p> <p>Object-based data storage is now the dominant storage architecture globally, particularly in the cloud, and will be used to store 85 percent of the world’s data by 2025. Developed initially to handle the explosive growth of unstructured data, such as video, images, web pages, log files and IoT data, object storage saves data along with associated metadata in blocks as objects that can contain multiple information formats.</p> <p>It has a variety of advantages over file and block storage, including massive scalability, greater flexibility via metadata for analytics, better governance, faster retrieval, and improved cost efficiencies. In addition, continued technical advances are improving both the performance and the applicability of object storage for new use cases. A major challenge, however, is that the object-based storage systems used my various cloud providers are all different, making data synchronization and translation a challenge.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Data Logistics Mandate</strong></p> <p>In this new world, Chief Data Officers and CIOs must optimize how they manage vast volumes of data across multiple clouds and data environments through better data logistics. There are more data silos, greater distribution of data, vast increases in volume, and a growing demand to understand, protect and exploit data for business growth and optimization while holding down costs.</p> <p>Among those logistical challenges are the need to keep track of where data resides, and cost-effectively synchronize, replicate and move data to optimize value, efficiency, security and governance based on cost differences, processing and analytics capabilities, performance advantages, and regulatory requirements.</p> <p>Organizations need to be able to be able to identify what data needs to be replicated and effectively transmitted and synchronized across different clouds and on-premise locations to improve the availability, security and value of data.</p> <p>For example, organizations increasingly need to move data to specific service providers to conduct analytics or take advantage of specific vendor technologies, lower processing and storage costs, or meet geographic requirements.

        • description<p>Improving the accuracy, value and efficiency of financial planning, forecasting and budgeting should be an important goal for any organization.  Research shows companies that are adept in these processes outperform their competition. Yet financial processes and systems frequently lack the agility and responsiveness to keep pace with changing business needs and developments.  Budgeting is often excessively time-consuming and arduous, while the final product is typically out-of-date on arrival.  Financial planning processes should, but often do not, motivate and drive organizational performance. There is a real need for greater timeliness and frequency in budgeting and forecasting with new systems and processes that can improve planning flexibility, speed, and accuracy.
