HNU practical project with Teva: Digital transformation in commercial operations

07.08.2024, Study:

From AI to the use of automated processes: Over the course of two semesters, students on the "Digital Healthcare Management" Master's degree at Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences (HNU) worked on a practical project at Teva under the direction of Prof. Dr. Patrick Da-Cruz. They developed strategies in the area of "Digital Transformation in Commercial Operations", received ongoing coaching and were given an insight into the pharmaceutical company. On June 24, they presented their results to around 20 Teva participants from various areas and functions of the company's Commercial Unit.

AI and data-driven processes

In addition to an analysis of existing data-driven processes in the areas of Customer Care and Regulatory Affairs, the students explored the use of AI technologies and other scenarios of data-driven processes for customer centricity. In small groups, they worked on tasks from one of the two areas and were accompanied and supported by Teva employees.

Practical project with added value for both sides

This cooperation project also offered great added value for Teva. The students developed various innovative approaches to the project assignment and made clear recommendations for action. Sandra La Rossa, responsible for Event & Process Excellence at Teva, was very impressed by the results: "I'm really impressed by how comprehensively the Master's students have familiarized themselves with the complex topics. We are already looking forward to applying and establishing the approaches presented in the company."
