Mark Lafferty sits down with Najette, CEO and co-founder of Speach, to explore the evolution of operational training in life sciences. Life sciences organizations maintain strong SOPs and compliance standards, but read and sign alone doesn't transfer that formal knowledge into daily execution. Najette shares how capturing informal SME expertise through short visual knowledge capsules helps learners digest procedures faster without sacrificing GxP compliance. They discuss how Generative AI accelerates content creation, how one Speach customer reduced human error by 76% through visual training, and how these visual tools seamlessly complement foundational platforms like Veeva Training and LearnGxP by converting internal SOPs into actionable, job-site visual guidance while leaving compliance records and core training content intact Expert: Najette Fellache Expert Links: Speach: https://speach.me/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/najettefellache/ Veeva Training Solutions Links: Join LinkedIn Community: https://www.linkedin.com/company/learngxp/ Join Veeva Connect - LearnGxP: https://veevaconnect.com/communities/ANhQ3gFSkAA/about?join=1 Join Veeva Connect - Training: https://veevaconnect.com/communities/ALLMNE-bEAA/about?join=1 Book a Demo: https://wkf.ms/4rWbR30

Traditional training models are failing the CDMO industry. Joining us is Brian Drapeau, Founder of GXP Frame and author of “The CDMO Training Crisis.” Brian explains why scaling physical capacity without scaling human capability turns facilities into "expensive warehouses." Key Discussion Points: The Context Switching Tax: Why multi-client environments break traditional pharma training models. The Real Cost of Underinvestment: How training gaps trigger a cycle of deviations, overtime fatigue, and high turnover. Reframing the Narrative: Moving from "training budgets" to "client commitment insurance." Scalable Architecture: Building competency based systems that prioritize workforce readiness over checkbox compliance. The Bottom Line: The CDMOs that survive the next decade won't be those with the most square footage. They will be the ones with the most capable workforces.
