Featuring Robert Plenge, EVP and Chief Research Officer, Bristol Myers Squibb
Moderated by Shibani Joshi, Fast Company Custom Studio
Unlike chess, where the board is visible and the rules are fixed, real-world challenges are full of unknowns. In drug discovery, for instance, scientists must make consequential decisions while navigating uncertainty at every step – with patients’ futures on the line. Success isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about making the best possible calculation with the data at hand.
In this conversation with all-star decision makers, discover how to prioritize long-term growth over immediate results, assess risk with rigor, and make high-quality bets amidst great uncertainty. Drawing insights from a range of fields, speakers will show why consistent decision quality is ultimately what drives long-term success.
