In this episode, we talk about the challenges of innovating in biopharma with a veteran of that industry, Dan Seewald. Seewald is the former Head of Worldwide Innovation at Pfizer, the $100 billion pharma giant headquartered in Manhattan, and now the founder and CEO of the consulting and training firm Deliberate Innovation. Among the questions that InnoLead CEO Scott Kirsner covers with Seewald:
- How do you create space for new ideas in a regulated industry?
- What's your advice on exploring the potential of AI?
- How do you effectively communicate an internal innovation initiative?
- How do you deal with all of the legal and compliance colleagues who are very good at saying "no" to new ideas?
- What he'd do differently if he was starting over at Pfizer.
