Why is the Life Science Tech Summit important for IT executives?
The easy route is to sit in your office and be fed information, which if you really want to stay on top of the tech world that is only part of the equation. Attending the Life Science Tech Summit allows you to network with other professionals who focus on the advancement of technology in Life Sciences. From those conversations you learn to be both the teacher and the student, and ultimately take away insights and new contacts that can help you be better at your job and ultimately smarter as an organization.

What is one thing you hope to learn or discuss with your peers at the Life Science Tech Summit?
Security and compliance, creating efficiencies, and data are big topics for us at the moment. I hope to connect with others who are trying to balance these while moving the company forward.

What initiatives are on the horizon for your team in 2017?

Using technology to create business efficiencies
Sales enablement and getting more out of our CRM platform
Data Enablement and Business Intelligence: evolving our use of business metrics as our company matures
Risk Reduction: Helping our regulatory and quality departments become more efficient while maintaining regulatory requirements

From your perspective, how has the role of a CIO changed?
The CIO role has evolved from being less focused on the latest tools and tech (although still part of the role) to having a greater understanding of the business and choosing the right technologies to enable advancement.

What are the 3 biggest factors impacting IT in the life science industry?

Cost
Data & Cloud Technologies
Expanding Regulations

Where do you draw your technology inspiration from?
Technology expectations start at home – if you can do it at your house there is a natural expectation to being able to extend that capability into the working environment. And keep an ear peeled for the next tech ideas that are just blooming. Many wash out but a few key ideas can spark greater thoughts on how to help drive new innovation at work.

VantagePoint Performance trains Salespeople to be more fluent and comfortable across different situations needing different sales approaches, and we train Sales Managers to be better coaches and team leaders, with more focus and less stress.

We’re different from the average sales training company because:

We don’t believe that one approach, one system, or one methodology is absolutely superior. All have something to offer, and the “best approach” or “best system” depends on the sales situation. This is what our applied, academic research tells us.
Our use of data science, specifically Machine Learning, helps us learn about our clients more meaningfully. We provide insights from each client’s data to help them understand what drives the success of their top-performing Salespeople and Sales Managers.
We are constantly feeding what we learn back into our training products, and we invest a bigger slice of our total energy into this innovation than the average sales training company. Our clients can access always-refreshed intellectual property and content through our training subscriptions.
