BHBIA Winter Seminar 2023: Customer experience (CX)… unravelling an enigma in pharma business insights

Click here to view presentations from the Winter Seminar 2023. Please note these are available to delegates only and you will need to be logged in to access them.

Customer experience (CX) is dynamic, ever-changing and critical to the performance of any business but is our understanding of what this means for healthcare as sophisticated as other industries? In pharma, we are more regulated, teams can work in siloes, and the adoption of omnichannel approaches often lags behind the consumer space. The odds can seem stacked against us.  

Even with these challenges, opportunities exist to mine new and emerging sources of customer data, draw rich business insights across market research and analytics, and package, communicate and leverage insights for maximum impact.  

Go-to-market has arrived as the latest ‘hot topic’ in pharma but is the business insights community ready to rise to the challenge of optimally measuring the intricate facets of CX and, consequently, the overall performance of pharma’s customer engagement activities?  

As a UK business insights community, we can draw on our creativity, knowledge and skillsets. Let’s take this opportunity to move forward so we can ensure advanced CX measurement plays a more integral role in driving the vital business decisions that are key to advancing UK healthcare.

10:20 Welcome and introduction

10:25 How business insights can support continuous improvement in CX and a customer obsession mindset
Ben Head, Customer Experience Activation Director & Krissie Mee, Content Strategy Lead - Novartis

Join Ben Head and Krissie Mee as we explore why CX is so important in 2023 and beyond. We’ll look at the most critical CX best practice guiding principles within the pharma industry today and how business insights can support continuous improvement and a customer-obsession mindset.

10:50 Pharma customer experience – what matters most to customers?
Sam Pigott, Engagement Manager - Strategic North 

Being truly customer centric is vital to delivering the best possible customer experience across several industries and pharma is no exception – but what factors ultimately contribute to this? What do customers really care about when engaging with pharma? 

In this session, Sam Pigott of Strategic North will be conducting an on-stage discussion with two healthcare professionals – each having different areas of focus, goals and experiences when it comes to engaging with pharma. The discussion will bring the voice of the actual customer to this years’ winter seminar.

The panel will unpick the key principles of delivering a leading customer experience in a pharma context, providing food for thought on what themes we as BAI professionals need to consider for optimum CX measurement. 

We are grateful to GKA for recruiting the healthcare professionals for this section of our agenda.

11:30 Tea / Coffee Break

11:50 – Enhancing customer understanding and experiences through next-generation analytics
Mark Turner, Sr Principal - IQVIA

The world around us is changing, and with it, our customers' preferences and expectations are constantly evolving. As we adopt new engagement models, we must learn how to manage and make sense of the data tsunami created from novel stakeholders, content, channels and technologies.

Join Mark Turner (Sr Principal, IQVIA Technology Consulting) as we explore the best practices in becoming a data-driven organisation, ready to grasp the power of AIML in better understanding our customers’ experiences and building better relationships.

12:20 Tracking trends in pharma customer experience and applying best practices for future CX measurement
Dominic Tyer, Research Director & Eleni Lee, Manager – Customer Experience - DT Consulting

In this session we’ll explore the key CX trends revealed in industry benchmarking data, where the industry and its companies currently stand, and how to apply best practices in measurement to track your CX journey.
