In the drive toward a fully digital, “perfect” batch record, many organizations find themselves overextending — designing complex systems that promise everything yet deliver less than expected. This session invites participants to pause and reflect: have we lost sight of what truly matters in our pursuit of digital excellence? By returning to the basics — clarity, usability, and incremental improvement — we can realign our digital batch record ambitions with what manufacturing teams genuinely need to succeed. Drawing on real-world lessons from pharma operations, we will explore how simplicity, collaboration, and practical implementation can unlock more sustainable progress than perfection ever could. In this session, you will learn more about:

• Refocus ambition into achievable progress, recognizing when the pursuit of perfection leads to overextension and how to realign efforts toward practical, high-impact outcomes.
• Reinforce simplicity as the foundation of digital success, by designing solutions that prioritize usability, clarity, and operational efficiency.
• Re-engage people at the center of digitalization, empowering end-users to shape meaningful, sustainable improvements through collaboration and iteration.
