Challenges of Workforce Transformation
The life sciences sector is experiencing significant disruption due to the rise of generative and agentic AI technologies, which are transforming traditional operational workflows. Many executives anticipate that AI will drive transformative changes within the industry, yet a stark contrast emerges with only a fraction of the workforce feeling prepared for this shift.
