Change Management Community of Experts

The Change Management Community aims to support and leverage change management best practices in digital transformation.

Why Change Management in Digital Transformation?
  • “Digital transformation is no longer a buzzword, but a strategic imperative for life sciences companies. Leading players are incorporating digital and analytics into early-stage drug discovery and clinical development to shrink timelines and improve the probability of success.”

  • “Digital transformation projects fail when there is no change management strategy.
    When organizations follow a change management strategy, they are 6x more likely to meet their digital transformation goals.”

Community Goals
  • Compile a set of tools and templates to increase change management leadership skills across our industry
  • Propose and test proactive, scalable strategies that prepare for ongoing transformation at both the enterprise (macro) and project (micro) level
  • Share best practices in change management in the context of digital transformation
  • Create trainings or a certification for members of the Pistoia Alliance to benefit from learnings
  • Address Industry-wide Challenges
  • Mitigate Change Resistance
