Agenda Day 2

2:45 PM PANEL DISCUSSION | BUILDING TEAMS THAT UNDERSTAND BOTH HEALTHCARE AND DATA - BRIDGE DOMAIN EXPERTISE WITH ANALYTICS SKILLS

The so-called “unicorn” candidate, fluent in modern data stacks and deeply grounded in healthcare operations, is effectively non-existent at scale. Leaders are realizing they cannot hire their way out of this crunch; they have to manufacture capability deliberately. This panel examines how organizations are redesigning the talent supply chain itself, moving beyond salary debates to structural solutions. From internal data academies that convert domain experts into analytics talent, to global delivery models that expand capacity without losing context, the focus is on building teams that can actually sustain data and AI ambition.

• Compare “build vs buy” talent strategies, from internal data academies that upskill clinicians and operators, to external hiring and global delivery models, and where each breaks down in practice.
• Identify the roles that benefit most from domain-first upskilling, and where deep healthcare context outperforms raw technical strength in driving usable analytics and AI outcomes.
• Share retention and progression models that keep newly trained “bilingual” talent engaged, including career paths, incentives, and governance structures that prevent loss to other industries
