Pharma has spent years pursuing richer customer data, but more data also creates greater privacy, governance, security, and reputational exposure. As regulation and customer expectations evolve, commercial leaders need to ask a more fundamental question: which data genuinely creates enough value to justify collecting, connecting, and retaining it?
• Determining which customer data materially improves commercial decision-making—and which creates more risk than value
• Applying data-minimization principles without undermining measurement, personalization, or customer understanding
• Establishing enterprise standards for collection, retention, activation, and deletion as privacy requirements continue to evolve
• Evaluating the strategic trade-off between greater customer intelligence and greater regulatory, security, and trust exposure
