In this complimentary webinar organised by the Paperless Lab Academy on 4 March 2020 at 3 PM CET, Rik Pepermans will share his experience at Unilever as a researcher, IT manager of its largest food lab, and strategist on the digital transformation of its global R&D.
The food economy is bigger and more diverse than you probably assume. Moreover, there is more innovation for the food economy happening than the statistics suggest, but it´s not always traditional science. The digital transformation of food innovation is a case study for a business-driven approach that goes far beyond digitizing the existing paper-based lab processes.
Rik will share how the implementation of the Electronic Lab Notebook at Unilever started with a critical assessment of its R&D core process and showed the way to connect stronger to the business. In a data-driven company, relevant measurement results must propagate from the lab bench to the decision makers’ table, swift and error-free. Ultimately, computer simulations replace making and evaluating trial products in the lab to reach the required speed of innovation. Rik will explain that this is not the end of the lab but a new start.
If you are not working in the food industry, you will still be inspired by the speed and efficiency of innovation in the food as a Fast-Moving Consumer Goods industry.
