Unlocking Clinical Innovation: Key Insights from Our Roundtable Last week, our Clinical Innovation Roundtable convened at the Kearney London offices. Alongside luminaries Terttu Haring, James Gallagher, Alexander Krupp and Mark Travers, we delved deep into the ever-evolving landscape of clinical innovation. Here are just a few of the things that resonated with me: R&D’s Dynamic Shift: External asset sourcing is reshaping the game. As innovation leaders, we must navigate complexity with a pragmatic mindset. When to plan ahead? When to seize serendipitous opportunities? It’s a dance we perform with partners who bring fresh collaboration styles. Sites, Our Co-Innovators: Clinical trials can still improve in so many ways. Amidst the pressures faced by clinical staff, sponsors who roll up their sleeves as problem-solvers can turbocharge recruitment and retention. And for some things, we should really see how we jointly enable the sites to drive and deploy their own innovation across trials and sponsors. Immerse to Communicate: Remember learning a foreign language in its native land? Nothing beats immersion. Pharma and Site staff are bridging gaps, creating a shared lexicon. Bring out and connect the "young radicals" on both sides to bring in the disruptive ideas of tomorrow. ROI Beyond Trials: Site engagement isn’t a one-time affair—it’s an ongoing investment. Sponsors increasingly find ways to support sites and exchange with physicians beyond specific trials. Better yet to help prepare these partners for future trials, but smart resource allocation needs to be our compass. Exploring new lands: The drive for access to novel therapies for underserved populations is taking us into new regions and countries. There is so much opportunity there, if we are willing and able to invest the time to train and nurture these new sites. Ongoing site engagement is what ultimately gives us a case to "polish these raw diamonds". And the golden rule: Quantify Excitement! Innovation isn’t risk-free, but articulating benefits is non-negotiable. Hone the skill to translate moonshots into measurable value. These insights fuel our journey toward impactful clinical research and development. Looking forward to keeping this conversation going with our broader community, Marc P. Philipp and Horia Giuglea! #ClinicalInnovation #Pharmaceuticals #ClinicalTrials #ResearchAndDevelopment

It was fantastic to see so many UK TMT colleagues this week at our quarterly TMT community event and spend some quality time again with EY alum, and now Director of Propositions and GTM for Sky Broadband and Mobile, Aman Bhatti 🌟 We kicked off with an insightful session from Douglas McCabe, CEO at Enders Analysis, who shared an in-depth update on macroeconomics and the state of the TMT industry. We then discussed the main insights arising from our latest Digital Home Study, with a particular focus on the UK market and diving into the attitudes and behaviours from 2,500 consumers, including: -Reliable connectivity as the constant "table stakes" of the Telco brand promise -The potential winners and losers from tightening spend appetite -The evolution of the bundle into security, smart home and props that were hitherto subscale or afterthoughts -The timing of AI-led customer service finally leapfrogging human voice interactions in customer preferences ...and much more! You can explore more next week on our UK Digital Home webcast, 27 November 3:45-4:30pm GMT. Join us by registering here: https://lnkd.in/gwK373-9.

Following last week’s Budget, I commented that Government departments would need to make a compelling case to get a slice of the £100bn investment the Chancellor has promised over the next five years. In the latest article in our Spending Review series, written by Caroline Field and Robert Vaughan, we set out how to make a persuasive case for investment to improve resilience. #SpendingReview #Resilience
