A Fresh Perspective

A Fresh Perspective

Tim Lancaster, Indigo BioAutomation‘s EVP of Strategy and Technology, joins us to share his thoughts on integrating deep domains, the importance of organizational development, and the ways he’s driven innovation in regulated environments. Tim’s background in life science automation gives him a fresh perspective on problem solving, strategy, and continuous improvement.

Tim emphasizes the importance of humility and structure when integrating deep domains. He shares that he’s found over-communication, setting expectations up front, and iterating has led to successful collaboration across domains and disciplines.

Finally, Tim explains his problem solving framework, including diagnosing the problem, digging deeper, and deciding what needs to happen next.
