We appreciate the opportunity to participate in orals. This microsite is a companion to our response, designed to provide a closer look at how we work, how we lead, and how we envision working with Lilly to bring Veeva Vault CRM to life.
PwC US CEO
Paul Griggs, PwC US CEO, reflects on leading change, enabling connection, and bringing the Vault CRM vision to life.
Lilly is looking to enhance their capabilities, not just migrate the CRM platform. Lilly's goal is clear: a resilient, well- governed CRM and Align backbone with minimal disruption to 11,000 field users who are simultaneously absorbing Workbench, CiTron, Isabella, and new product launches.
This is a strategic investment in your future growth. This program will be a journey that builds on the foundation of your CRM strategy and existing AI initiatives to provide an enhanced experience for your teams while allowing them to maintain focus on your customers.
PwC has worked closely with Lilly for over 15 years. We are embedded with your stakeholders, your affiliates, and we know your ways of working. We are embedded in your commercial ecosystem leading the CRM Strategy, building the Greenhouse Agentic Territory Sales Manager, deploying brix across global markets, and cutting time-to-market by 40%. We don’t need to learn your environment; we’re already in it. This means zero ramp time and zero discovery surprises as you begin this CRM migration. Specifically, we bring:
Pathway to accountability via flexibility to lead BI independently or as part of combined SI+BI model to decrease misalignment across partners
Understanding of your environment and our knowledge of how to land global capability at Lilly positions us to start quickly
AI-powered delivery using proven accelerators, including Carissa AI CRM Coach, Virtual Fair, PwC Listen sentiment platform, and GenAI content
Delivery experience at Lilly and other global clients
Established Veeva alliance with over nine years and 100+ engagements across 20+ unique clients
Lilly-specific experience including our vendor certification in Cortex and general implementation experience in your ecosystem
Together, we will deliver a CRM backbone stable enough to run today and intelligent enough to power the agentic future Lilly is building towards.
This program goes beyond just a technology upgrade; it activates your proprietary AI to strengthen continuity for Lilly’s field teams and unlock more adaptive ways of working in support of your medical strategy. Partnering with PwC enables you to move quickly and confidently on a stable, familiar CRM foundation, minimizing disruption while powering the next generation of engagement.
Our partnership with Lilly is built on deep trust, proven experience, and a shared commitment to getting this transformation right the first time. Our team brings together familiar leaders who have shaped Lilly’s CRM and commercial data ecosystem with new capabilities in integration, data, change, and AI-enabled delivery. With more than 15 years of embedded context and hands-on experience building the systems this CRM depends on, we can align business and technology from day one. Together, we will help Lilly transition confidently from migration to impact, establishing a CRM backbone that is stable today, aligned across partners, and ready to power the intelligent, AI-driven future of its commercial organization
As your BI, we set the program approach from start to benefits realization, helping Lilly secure platform benefits and programmatic synergies across each of the workstreams, activities, and partners. PwC's BI delivery methodology is built around a proven, AI-enabled, phased model with integrated workstreams operating in parallel within each deployment wave. We execute process design, change management, training, and technology delivery concurrently under a unified governance cadence anchored by a Program Delivery & Value Management Office, the program's control tower across all partners that provides oversight of program execution, risk, and value outcomes.
Phase 0 is a structured discovery effort that establishes the current-state foundation every downstream design, configuration, and change decision depends on — nothing moves to design until Phase 0 is signed off.
In our experience, a phased approach to Vault CRM migrations drives efficiency in resourcing and strong governance leads to process learnings and optimization.
