What if the primary constraint to realizing the value of AI isn't the technology itself, but the human element within the organization?
In this episode of Hyperight Data Talks, we sat down with Thore Dankert, Executive Director and Head of Digital at Novo Holdings, ahead of his appearance at the Data Innovation Summit. Thore operates with the conviction that digital transformation is actually 10% technology and 90% people, a perspective that shapes his mandate at one of the world’s major life science investors. Rather than introducing tools for their own sake, he focuses on solving specific business pain points to enable a truly lean organization.
This emphasis on business outcomes provides the framework to break down the move away from "innovation theater" toward tangible results. The conversation explores the governance models and leadership alignment required to ensure digital solutions are fully adopted into everyday workflows rather than just launched as pilots.
