Enabling scientists to focus on science - Benjamin Kaeser Head of Operations Roche Pharma

"Implementation beats knowledge every day of the week. Instead of landscaping and scoping over and over again, by the time you’re finished 30-40-50% is obsolete. My advice is take something, implement it. Add value as fast as you can. Don’t watch from the sidelines, just get it done and implement something that is useful for the organization." "We were able to create the space to step back, clear our minds, and do out of the box thinking gave it a fresh perspective on challenges that we all face. A powerful takeaway was realizing the potential we have when we join forces. When we collaborate across the industry we are not just tackling problems, we have the opportunity to shape the future of the industry together." "When we talk about digital adoption, most people talk about tech itself. What I’ve learned is it’s not the real challenge. The real challenge is us. The challenge really is our mindset. This is particularly important in this rapidly evolving healthcare sector we’re all working in." "We are the CEO of our own life, the pilot in command. If we are not driving the change and adopting digital solutions in healthcare, who will?""A key part of embracing a digital mindset is not about become the tech expert. It’s really about seeing technology, especially AI, as a partner. Instead of seeing AI as a replacement of human work, I see it as a powerful tool."A digital mindset isn’t just about being ready for the future, it’s about really actively building that future." "The outcomes are rooted in individual learning and also the coaching sessions which are based on the principles in the book Live with Intent. They helped me get out of my own way and be a better version of myself.""A key lesson is ownership creates freedom. When you truly own a project, you’re not just doing the work you have the freedom to shape it and really make a difference."
