The biopharmaceutical (pharma) industry is undergoing major transformation. This transformation is being driven by the changing face of healthcare, characterized by demographic changes, rapid technological developments, and new healthcare expectations, all occurring at the same time as rising regulatory and compliance challenges.
The ability of pharma to respond successfully to these challenges depends on improving the use of information and data. Research by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that applying big data strategies to improve decision-making could generate up to $100 million in value annually across the US healthcare system. Critical here is by improving their use of information; pharma can improve clinical-trial efficiency, improve collaboration, and use this data to improve their R&D processes. Ultimately this will help pharma find the insights necessary to drive personal or precision medicine, where patients are treated using individualized approaches. However within pharma, one department in particular is currently being dramatically impacted by, as well as tasked with using, insights, and that´s Medical Affairs. |

The financial services industry has traditionally been one of the most technology-intensive industries. But the speed of technology change, and the business developments this has fostered, has left many companies even in financial services floundering and struggling in the face of a rapidly changing landscape.
In the past few years we have seen the emergence of what has become known as “Fintech”, or financial technology companies. Fintech start-ups, as well as a few incumbents’ financial providers, are today characterized by an agile, data-driven analytics approach to financial services. Companies include those such as StreetShare, which offers peer-to-peer lending for small businesses, or TradeRiver which provides an online platform for cross-border financial transactions. Underpinning much of the success of fintech companies is a renewed focus on the user and customer experience. New players such as Square and Lending Club have a very different approach to technology and creating compelling user experiences, than their traditional banking competition. |

Whether you are a bank, an insurance provider, a credit card company, or payment provider, technology is driving fundamental change in your sector. Hedge funds for example are now poaching technologists from Silicon Valley. As one financial headhunter recently stated, “traders used to be first-class citizens of the financial world, but that’s not true anymore. Technologists are the priority now”. Financial companies now focus on hiring individuals with the technical and computer science skills that will enable them to create the algorithms that underlie an increasingly complex environment. |
