Turn AI Potential into Practical Capability

AI is creating new opportunities across the pharmaceutical value chain. This programme combines an accessible introduction to AI with practical tool exploration, workflow design, and agent building. Participants progress from understanding AI applications across pharma to building an AI agent and connecting it to a workflow for advisory board organisation.

Built for the Pharmaceutical Industry

No assumption of advanced AI or coding expertise is required. The same examples and exercises are used for every group, and they run in the AI tools your organisation has approved.

What Participants Will Learn

Six practical capabilities, built up across the two days — from spotting opportunities to connecting an agent to automation.
  • Identify high-value AI use cases

  • Navigate the AI toolkit

    Understand general-purpose assistants and specialist AI tools, and when each may be useful.

  • Design AI workflows

    Break a business process into clear steps, inputs, decisions, and outputs.

  • Understand AI agents

    Learn how agents use instructions, knowledge, tools, and defined boundaries.

  • Build your own AI agent

    Configure an agent with relevant reference materials and instructions.

  • Connect an agent to automation

    Understand how an agent can support a structured advisory board workflow with appropriate human oversight.
