Advancements in digital technology are prompting chemical & consumer goods companies to reimagine the way they do business. Yet product stewardship and regulatory groups in these organizations are often the last to find out about digital transformation. In this session you will hear from industry leaders and learn how to launch the digital product compliance journey in your organization through a logical step-by-step approach.

The ability to meet growing regulator and societal demands for high-quality, safe, sustainable, and compliant products is a strategic imperative.

In this session you will hear how one organization unlocked significant value by transforming to a more customer-centric product compliance operating model.

Transforming product compliance delivers a range of benefits from greater operational efficiency to the ability to grow customer trust and drive topline growth. Yet compliance teams often struggle to articulate to executives what product compliance transformation is worth and how it will generate concrete business value. Join this session to learn how to build a competitive business case that ensures your digital product compliance project is funded and earns a seat at the strategy table.

Think advertising claims management is all about compliance and risk avoidance? Think again. As rapidly as consumer tastes change or markets shift, forward thinking companies need to assert compelling claims to exploit brief windows of opportunity. How can companies expect to delight consumers under such tight timelines? Hear from industry veterans about how they are thinking about advertising claims as a driver of speed, growth and innovation.

The rise of digital advertising, in particular of social media and influencers, has made the process of managing and tracking claim approvals and usage exponentially more difficult. Marketers must seize brief windows of opportunity to stay timely and relevant, which makes a traditional, formal approval process self defeating. Furthermore, influencers, whether paid or unpaid often have their own ideas about the products they use and seldom keep to a script. How are companies, regulators and advertising platforms adjusting to this new claims landscape, and what does the future look like for claims in a digital world?

Advertising claims management is a very complex process. As Veeva has implemented with customers across geographies, categories, and sizes, there are some striking similarities, and some marked differences. Join John Cooper, Director of Strategy for Veeva Claims, and Chris Veale, Global Practice Manager for Claims Implementations, as they discuss some of the more interesting commonalities and differences. Special guest, Narisa Bandali, Staff Attorney from BISSELL Homecare, will provide a customer perspective.
