Building Consensus in a Biotech Organization
Image by Niek Verlaan from Pixabay In my last few posts, I’ve been exploring how differences in mental models can get in the way of integrating data teams into a biotech organization. It’s been a lot of doom and gloom. But it’s finally time to shift gears and start exploring solutions. So in this post,Continue reading “Building Consensus in a Biotech Organization”
Changing Mental Models
In my last few posts, I’ve been exploring how building shared mental models is key to integrating data teams into biotech organizations, particularly “tech biotechs” that have a significant AI/ML component. I’m working towards a series of posts about specific things you can do to help build these SMMs, but before we get there IContinue reading “Changing Mental Models”
ML vs Wet Lab: The Great Impedance Mismatch
In my last couple of posts, I discussed how different mental models between digital and wet lab teams cause friction in the flow of information across biotech organizations, particularly for so-called tech biotechs that rely on extensive collaboration between the two. In this post, I will explore how it impacts the second leg of theContinue reading “ML vs Wet Lab: The Great Impedance Mismatch”
A better ELN won’t solve your problems
In my last post, I argued that a lack of shared mental models is one of the biggest problems facing tech biotechs because it impedes the cycle of information flow between wet lab and digital teams. This time, I want to explore the first branch of that cycle: How data and metadata get from theContinue reading “A better ELN won’t solve your problems”
The Giant Hidden Problem Plaguing Tech Biotechs
I’ve spent much of the last few years thinking about how to integrate data teams into biotech organizations, mostly circling around an idea I couldn’t quite put my finger on. But I recently learned it has a name: Shared Mental Models This is pretty much what it sounds like: Everyone brings their own set ofContinue reading “The Giant Hidden Problem Plaguing Tech Biotechs”
Year-end Summary 2021
Image by hudsoncrafted from Pixabay I started writing this blog in early 2020, but it was only this year that I started writing regularly, here and on my newsletter. When I started, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to write about, or why I wanted to write it, beyond generally wanting to get backContinue reading “Year-end Summary 2021”
