Provisional Agenda

The main focus of the meeting will be on the future - how analytics is evolving and how the BHBIA can provide support over the next few years, but we will first take a look at what's planned for 2020. 

2020 programme of initiatives and events

Ethics and Compliance

• Ethics and compliance resources available to analysts – including new online training modules and whether it would be valuable for certification to be shown in the members’ directory
• Discussion about future ethics and compliance needs, including new topics

BOBI Awards

• BOBI awards categories that are suitable for analysts – including Analyst of the Year and Analyst Team of the Year awards – what’s involved and how to enter

Events, Courses and Webinars

• Overview of what’s on the 2020 programme for analysts
• Current training needs including foundation training – what, if anything else, should the BHBIA be providing?

Looking to the future

Sustainability of Business Intelligence (BI) in the UK Pharmaceutical Industry – research findings and discussion

• The BHBIA recently commissioned a significant piece of research in which we spoke to senior employees and executives across a number pharmaceutical companies in the UK to yield a detailed understanding into the evolving role of BI.
• Board members will share some of the key findings and then lead an open discussion about what this means for the future of analytics, how the BHBIA should evolve to stay ahead of the game in this changing environment, and how you can get involved and be part of this process.

There is no charge for this event but places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so please book early to avoid disappointment. In the interest of balanced representation, places are limited to no more than 2 delegates per company.
