The Behavior Side of Preventive Medicine: Workplace, Employees and Pharma

April 13, 2016

The buzz: “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…I’m feeling good.” Bravo to your HR for offering employee health strategy programs! That means everyone is so healthy and fit that attendance and productivity are way up. Not so much? Perhaps they forgot to address how workforce behavior – do they WANT to improve their health habits – and circumstances impact illness prevention, or the importance of engagement, commitment and alignment among employer and insurer plan sponsors, healthcare providers and individual workers.

Pharma and Preventive Medicine: Future or Failure?

Wednesday, March 2, 2016

Now consider this: If life sciences companies would make prevention a core competency, then physicians, insurers, patients and pharma companies should be able to work together to broadly improve prevention and create a win-win for ‘every body’. But how? The experts speak. Featuring Ralph Marcello, Deloitte Consulting LLP. 

Digital World with Game Changers

Digital Manufacturing: Powering the 4th Industrial Revolution

April 12, 2016

The buzz: "You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one." (John Lennon) The first three industrial revolutions were powered by steam (1700s), electricity (1800s), and computerization (1960s). Today, the fourth is connecting machines and equipment with the ubiquitous Internet of Things – enabling the digitization of business across all industries to revolutionize processes, customer interactions, and business models. The heart of this shift: the industrial machinery and components (IM&C) industry. The experts speak. Featuring Jason Coffman, Deloitte.

Three Lines of Defense: Fact or Fiction?

August 9, 2016

The buzz: Three’s a charm. The Three Lines of Defense (TLoD) is becoming a globally recognized framework, where Corporate Risk, Compliance and other groups set standards and practices for managing risk and Internal Audit provides assurance. In research commissioned by SAP from Forrester, ~45% of 200+ respondents had implemented or were implementing TLoD, but some executives had significant ongoing concerns. Is implementation only at the fringes of the business? Is deep, rigorous implementation missing? The experts speak. Featuring Elvia Novak, Deloitte Consulting LLP.

Future of Finance: Powered by Technology

May 17, 2016

Reality check: Global markets are harsher. Wall Street is less kind. Finance needs to be able to help your company forecast, plan and predict successful outcomes. But how? Arm your Finance team with the right technology tools to be at the core of driving your organization’s digital transformation. The experts speak. Featuring Sam Parikh, Deloitte Consulting LLP.
