Systems of Execution (SoE) in Life Sciences: Enabling Enterprise-scale Omnichannel Engagement
June 25, 2025Life sciences enterprises operate in an increasingly complex engagement landscape due to rising content fatigue, expanding Healthcare Professional (HCP)/patient touchpoints, and growing stakeholder expectations for relevance. Traditional engagement strategies, characterized by fragmented data, siloed operational workflows, and legacy technology systems built for function-level enablement, have led to disjointed engagement and effort duplicity across enterprise teams. Systems of Execution (SoE) address this challenge by acting as an intelligent execution layer that unifies data across commercial, medical affairs, and patient services to activate cross-functional synergies in delivering coordinated stakeholder-centric omnichannel engagement across the enterprise. By leveraging real-time data signals, AI-powered next-best-action recommendations, and automated adaptive engagement workflows, SoE enable enterprises to autonomously deliver personalized and contextually relevant stakeholder interactions with minimal human intervention. This report outlines core SoE capabilities and provides life sciences CXOs with a clear implementation roadmap. It helps life sciences CXOs achieve personalized, enterprise-scale omnichannel execution, designed to surface cross-functional insights and autonomously act on them, to deliver coordinated omnichannel engagement across enterprise functions. -
