The Future of Commercialization Is Closer Than You Think

About the Episode

Welcome to The Improzone!

In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Jane Urban and Indraneel Mukherjee move beyond strategy to explore what it actually takes to transform commercial organisations in the age of AI.

While many organisations recognise that traditional commercial models are under increasing pressure, the bigger challenge isn’t simply adopting new technology, it’s rethinking the way organisations operate. From redesigning workflows and governance to standardising processes and preparing teams for AI-powered ways of working, this episode explores what meaningful transformation really looks like.

The discussion also examines why AI should accelerate better decision-making rather than simply automate existing processes, why governance is becoming more important than ever, and how organisations can balance innovation with the practical realities of large-scale change.

If you’re leading commercial strategy, digital transformation, AI initiatives, or organisational change within life sciences, this conversation offers practical perspectives on how to build commercial models that are ready for what’s next.
