“Adapt or Die” Series
The imperative to expand our professional vision drives us all. Immersion in our industry’s innovations helps us prepare wisely, collaborate effectively, and lead passionately. The Zensights “Adapt or Die” series assembles senior leaders from the BioPharma executive community to discuss viewpoints and examine trends shaping our industry.
The Adapt or Die invitation only meetings are exclusive to Zensights member subscribers and Executive Network participants. These bi-annual events feature dialog and networking with industry leaders in a private setting augmented by our proprietary research and thought leadership presentations.
Lieutenant General (Ret.) Rick Lynch, an expert on Adaptive Leadership and its potential applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry leads the events. General Lynch shares his insights and experience on the U.S. Military’s transformation and how these parallel relevant challenges facing today’s BioPharma industry. His book, which inspired this meeting series, is available on Amazon: Adapt or Die: Leadership Principles from an American General.
The meetings feature Rick Lynch facilitating round table discussions comprised of senior executives discussing the latest trends within the Pharmaceutical industry. All of this takes place in a congenial environment that actively seeks personal interaction, knowledge sharing, and conversation.
