Presentation Session
Leading the Human Side of AI: OCM Strategies for Pharma R&D
Join Turnberry’s Emily Anderson, Client Engagement Partner – Global Life Sciences Lead and McKinna Teske, Senior Consultant – Business Transformation for a speaking session on Thursday, October 16 at 2:30 pm EST.
Session description: AI is rapidly transforming pharmaceutical R&D, but many initiatives fail—not due to poor technology, but due to lack of adoption. Traditional change management approaches fall short in AI settings, where uncertainty, trust gaps, and role ambiguity dominate. This session explores a pharma-specific organizational change management (OCM) framework tailored for AI initiatives, offering practical tools from strategy through implementation. Attendees will learn how to address AI’s unique adoption challenges, build scientific trust, avoid common pitfalls, and bridge the gap between data science and R&D stakeholders—ensuring that AI delivers impact, not resistance.
