Measuring Digital Transformation: A KPI Framework for Pharma

Digital transformation in pharma is no longer optional—but measuring its success remains one of the industry’s biggest challenges. With billions invested in AI, analytics, and Pharma 4.0 initiatives, many organizations still struggle to prove value, demonstrate ROI, and distinguish high-impact programs from costly experiments.

In this episode of Center of Excellence – Pharma 4.0, we unpack a practical, end-to-end KPI framework designed specifically for pharmaceutical digital transformation. From manufacturing and quality to R&D, clinical operations, and organizational readiness, we explore the metrics that truly matter—and why measurement discipline is the difference between digital success and failure.

You’ll learn:

• Why most digital transformations fail without robust KPI frameworks
• The core financial, operational, and quality metrics that define digital success in pharma
• How KPIs like OEE, Right-First-Time, cycle time, and digital adoption reveal real business impact
• Best practices for baselining, benchmarking, and tracking ROI across Pharma 4.0 initiatives
• How to align executives, plant leaders, quality teams, and digital leaders around a common performance language

Whether you’re leading digital strategy, managing operations, overseeing quality, or driving Pharma 4.0 programs, this episode provides a clear roadmap for turning digital ambition into measurable, sustained value.
