• How can a global life sciences organization rapidly transform its R&D function to create cost headroom, strengthen decision‑making, and prepare for AI‑enabled innovation amid intense external pressure?
• Discover how CSL delivered an end‑to‑end R&D transformation across strategy, portfolio, structure, talent, and geography in just 6–9 months – balancing pace with engagement, resetting leadership behaviors, and modernizing ways of working across 2,500 employees in 35 countries
• Learn how this transformation unlocked over $100m in cost savings over three years, while already delivering faster cycle times, more streamlined governance, and improved decision quality, creating the foundation for stronger pipelines, increased deal activity, and long‑term R&D performance

This interactive Q&A builds on the CSL and Novo Nordisk case studies and gives you the chance to ask questions to explore what it really takes to sustain HR transformation once the initial design is complete. Moving beyond strategy, this session focuses on the practical realities of embedding new ways of working across large and small organizations.
