The situation
A global pharmaceutical enterprise was piloting an AI-powered scientific-literature platform before deciding on a wider rollout. The pilot involved 60 power users, nine client workstreams and six internal teams. The product had to meet the client’s workflows while working within licensed-content constraints.
My responsibility
I ran the implementation process: onboarding, the delivery plan, requirements coordination, phased rollout, training and stakeholder communication. My role was to connect the client’s needs with the people responsible for the product and its delivery.
I structured the pilot around incremental delivery and feedback. Demonstrations, workshops, Q&A and train-the-trainer sessions gave the client opportunities to work with the platform as it developed.
Partway through the pilot, the AI capability was falling short of expectations. I brought the client’s requirements into a shared conversation with product, the business unit and engineering. We clarified what could be delivered within the licensed-content constraint and the launch window, then shortened the QA and demonstration cycle so the client could assess working software.
What changed
The pilot met its success criteria and progressed to a global launch for 20,000 users in July 2026. The implementation approach, tracking framework and presentation materials became reusable assets for colleagues.
The 20,000 figure describes the scope of the launch, not a measured active-user count. My contribution was implementation and cross-functional delivery, rather than model development.
