Craig Lipset

Trials on the Other Side of the Curve: Drawing from the COVID-19 Experience to Define a New Future
The COVID-19 pandemic has created urgency for clinical trials to modernize and transform. As the pandemic emerged, research teams scrambled to continue to support patients in need of access to investigational new medicines. As we emerge from the pandemic, how do we take the best of the change and embed it to become the “new normal”? How will clinical research in 2021 and beyond be faster and smarter as we get to the other side of the curve?
About Craig
Craig Lipset has been at the forefront of innovation in clinical trials and medicine development. For over 20 years he has been leading the transformation of clinical trials, pioneering new approaches to bring research closer to patients and accelerate new cures with leading-edge technology. For nearly a decade he was the Head of Clinical Innovation at Pfizer, leading digital initiatives, patient engagement and collaborations across all therapeutic areas around the globe. During that tenure he launched multiple “industry firsts” -- from the first fully remote/virtual clinical trial for a new medicine to the first returning of results and data to research participants. Lipset brings 360 degrees of perspective to the future of medicine development – as an industry insider, a trial innovator, a technologist, and as a patient advocate.

KILL THE COMPANY: End the Status Quo, Start an Innovation Revolution
Winning innovators embrace change—do you? What holds you back from better innovating, every day? In too many organizations, we're stuck in the land of status quo. We’ve forgotten how to think differently and lack the simple tools to solve problems creatively. The very structures put in place to help organizations grow are now holding us back. So, it’s time to Kill the Company! This keynote is an inspirational call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and how we work.
The key lesson of this keynote: if we want people to approach change differently, we have to change our approach. You will learn how simplification lets us achieve more and better innovation.

- Little changes can create big impact.
Lisa will introduce tangible ways to ignite innovation through the dynamic, yet simple exercises in the Kill the Company Toolkit, including Kill a Stupid Rule, Killer Queries, Impossible to Possible, and many more.
