Time	Session	What it’s about	Speaker
4:30 pm	Welcome	Check-in & Welcome	–
5:00 pm	Keynote 3 Central Pillars Driving the Success of Today’s PPM	Gain exciting insights into three key topics shaping the future of project and portfolio management in Pharma: Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize forecasting and automation, innovative strategies for effective resource management to guarantee the success of projects and the added value of cross-company exchange to drive innovation and cooperation beyond department and company boundaries.	Matthias Wanser Head of Partner Management, cplace
5:20 pm	Keynote Holistic Project Portfolio Management Using AI-Supported Scenario Generation and Optimization	The challenge: Managing a portfolio of over 200 R&D projects with complex Excel spreadsheets is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to elaborate, combine and compare different scenarios and to quickly adapt to changing conditions. The cplace based PPM solution enables interactive, KPI-guided and AI-supported (re-)planning of project portfolios, phases, milestones, and the resulting resource requirements. Combined with a bidirectional SAP integration and customized controlling views, this results in an efficient, flexible and future-proof planning process.	Klaus Bergner CEO, 4Soft GmbH
5:40 pm	PPM Laboratories Choose your Workshop	Laboratory 1: Artificial Intelligence (AI) What impact does AI have on our day-to-day work and how can we take advantage of its infinite possibilities? Discuss with us how AI predictions and automation can make projects more efficient. Develop practical applications and work on concrete solutions for the seamless integration of generative AI into your business processes. Laboratory 2: Resource Management What does resource planning in PPM ideally look like? What do companies need, what must tools be able to do and which processes may need to be adapted? Together, we develop innovative strategies and approaches for planning and managing your resources in order to avoid overloads and maximize productivity. Laboratory 3: Cross-Company Planning Jointly develop approaches and requirements for an effective exchange of knowledge and best practices between individual departments or entire companies. Work out how a successful cross-company exchange can be organized and used to promote innovation and exploit synergies.	–
