Research-driven organizations like Roche invest billions every year into the discovery of new insights. Nevertheless, managing and sharing these insights is an ongoing challenge for Roche, as it is for any large and dynamic organization.

To achieve this goal, there is a strong focus on Knowledge Management for Roche Technical Development on process improvements and state-of-the-art information tools.

In this talk, the speaker will present some of the initiatives that he is currently working on, such as, a single document management process across several global functions, that is enabled by traditional semantic tools as well as modern AI tools.
