If AI Can Do the Work, What Is the Organization For?

Rethinking Work and Ambition in Healthcare and Life Sciences
Developing treatments, generating evidence, and helping patients access care require specialized expertise. But does the way we divide that expertise into departments have to determine how the work gets done?

As AI agents take on more substantial assignments, healthcare and life sciences leaders can reconsider both how their organizations operate and what they can accomplish. Which handoffs remain necessary? Where could expertise come together differently? What previously impractical ambitions become worth pursuing?

Blake Graham will explore these questions through the lens of enterprise AI transformation, connecting strategic possibilities with practical experience. The session will examine the shift from adding AI to existing tasks toward organizing people and agents around scientific, patient, and business outcomes.

What attendees will learn:

• Distinguish opportunities to improve individual tasks from opportunities to rethink how outcomes are achieved.
• Examine which organizational boundaries preserve essential expertise and accountability--and which deserve reconsideration.
• Consider how data, safety, and compliance requirements shape the design of work involving people and agents.
• Recognize opportunities to pursue outcomes previously constrained by the cost and availability of expertise and execution.
