Finance, strategy, partnerships: when AI is used in the daily lives of IPSEN 🧬 teams
This week, AI Sisters launched a new Generative AI coaching program with IPSEN, on the occasion of their annual seminar in Brussels, with 80 employees from the Finance teams coming from all over Europe.
Objective: Explore how generative AI can strengthen analysis, structure thinking, and accelerate decision-making, while maintaining the requirements specific to pharmaceutical finance professions.

An immersive and pragmatic kick-off
The program started with a 2-hour immersive kick-off, where the teams Finance, management control, strategy, procurement and financial management have explored the concrete contributions of AI in their daily lives. A real boost to understand the practical uses of AI in demanding pharmaceutical jobs.
Training around 3 key objectives 🎯
✅ Strengthening financial decision-making
AI is becoming a strategic co-pilot, helping to structure financial analyses and speed up report generation.
✅ Automate the production of deliverables
Creation of materials, data summaries, gap analysis: AI saves precious time, without losing rigor.
✅ Explore very specific business use cases
Real everyday cases at IPSEN: benchmark, monitoring trends in biotech oncology, analysis of complex Excel data.
Concrete use cases for demanding pharmaceutical challenges 💉
🔬 Follow the trends of partnerships in oncology and biotech
The teams used Perplexity to detect 5 recent strategic alliances between European biotech and Big Pharma. This monitoring made it possible to identify weak signals, key positions, and to enrich partnership-based thinking.
💰 Analyzing differences in Excel... without spending 3 hours
Thanks to AI, IPSEN was able to generate explicit charts from a complex Excel file, including items such as volumes, prices, forecasts, and actual values. The insights extracted were ready to be shared with management committees, and immediate time savings for teams.
📄 Producing an executive note from the graphs
Each graph created was integrated into a Word pro document, with clear summaries, oriented to the decision (risks, opportunities, points of attention). One Time saver for the teams, while respecting rigorous standards.
📧 Writing a multilingual email for an AI seminar
The teams also used AI to write a multilingual invitation email (FR/EN/NL) to invite Finance teams to an AI seminar. This was a direct demonstration of the use of AI for improve internal communication.

What did the teams remember? ✅

- AI is not thinking for us, but she Frees us from unnecessary burden.
