Our regional head Victoria Anashkina came to visit Amgen Turkiye for three days. We used to work for a month 🙄to prepare for these meetings, which we call “Business Review Meetings”. Max 10 years ago , We would prepare hundreds of pages of presentations and get very stressed😏 I realized yesterday again that welcoming Victoria wasn't like this for us🙏🏻🍀🧿and I thought about why. Top 3 reasons came to my mind: In the past, we could only make presentations during these physical visits, we would meet once, max twice a year, but now we have the opportunity to explain ourselves almost every month virtually , so there is no such thing as one and only time to explain our business stories. Information and reporting systems developped significantly… almost all data automised. How the performance of the business is going can be seen at the click of a button🥰🙏🏻There is no need for heavy presentations anymore. And ultimately the culture of the company and style of the senior leaders is “still” very important. Being constructive, humble, having strong business acumen to understand complex matters, sincere human touch and listening capabilities are pretty key. It is great being all together as ONE team🥰working for patients. #wearebiotech #mycompany Amgen

2023 was another great year at Ipsen. Our strategy is working and the solid results we delivered are proof. 2024 is shaping up to be even bigger. A big thank you to all the colleagues and teams who are so focused on making a real impact. See what David Loew has to say here: https://lnkd.in/ePBu5Ji4

Ending the week? or starting a new one? While we all look forward for the weekend to unwind, collect our thoughts and come fresh for the next week. We train ourselves at Octapharma Canada to always look for new beginnings. For many people Friday is about ticking the box on a long list of things achieved during the week, we like to see it slightly differently. Planning is a crucial part of our thinking process and we focus on what's ahead. Our team sees the value in this as it helps them stay proactive and know what to expect in the coming week, month, quarter ..etc., it increases their productivity and allows them to learn from past experiences. We are curious to know how your teams stay focused on their future goals? #planning #proactivemindset #productivity

“𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕” I get asked quite often what I actually do in my role as Cx Excellence Director in #pharma. Today, I tell you a much more interesting secret: I tell you what I DON’T DO 😉 ❌ The secret of success does not lie in understanding the right paths in the past and repeat them in the future. This will give you only very limited competitive advantage. ✔ You need to understand the paths that should have let to failure but didn’t. Than you understand the true underlying principles. ONLY NOW you can create the right strategies for the future. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔? Hannes Beierlein Ralf Greis Thomas Bernhardt

Meet our exceptional Business Unit Leader, Tania Hawkes, whose warmth and expertise drive our teams success and delivers on our Credo’s promise – Discover more about her below: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐉&𝐉? I joined Janssen Pharmaceuticals in 2012 and held a number of Sales & Marketing Management roles before moving across to Medical Devices in 2018. All together I’ve been with J&J for nearly 11 years. Time flies when you’re having fun! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? My team on the whole are very tenured and talented people who continually challenge the status quo and try to find new and better ways to ‘get stuff done’. All with a view to ensuring the customers and ultimately patients, get what they need when they need it. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞? By living by the philosophy of ‘work hard, play hard … then turn up the next day to work hard again’.  When I look back on my total career, the big leaps were primarily due to someone believing in my ability and sponsoring me to take on ‘the next role’. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞? In New Zealand we don’t have many layers of hierarchy, so our leaders are really close to the team and customers. We also each cover a wide variety of portfolios and job functions and work closely together as a leadership team so have a broad range of knowledge and experience across MedTech. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞/ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡? The human body is absolutely incredible, but sometimes it needs help to work optimally. I love seeing science and technology coming together to help people feel better. Healthcare impacts everyone either directly or indirectly and it is really fulfilling to work in an organization with great products that really make a difference. 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐝: Although J&J is a large global multinational organization, in New Zealand we operate as a small local business. Everyone wears many hats but are always happy to lend a helping hand to support colleagues. I’m really proud to be part of a team that is extremely customer centric and has a great ‘can do’ attitude!

Yesterday marked the final day of a wonderful seven-year ride with Sandoz, especially the B2B team. Having worked with and learned from the most talented professionals in the industry, many lessons - some quite basic - will accompany me in future. Especially two have become my key pillars. End-to-end responsibility: apparent impact is easy to be claimed; achieving real one requires a lot more effort. Stay committed to deliver even after your “part of the job” is done. Disregard hierarchies and statuses and get involved (“get your feet wet”, as one Sandoz leader told me in the Kundl office on my second day on the job), learn and understand deeply (end-to-end know how), challenge fairly (hard on facts, soft on the individual) share generously your knowledge and pull forward as one team. It takes two to tango: in this increasingly virtual world there is no better school, thermometer and business catalyst than being physically on the road interacting, learning and bonding directly with partners and customers. The only way to avoid tunnel-vision is by understanding the reality in which your commercial partners operate. Personal interaction is key for business. It will also transform and enrich your vision of this beautifully diverse world. Now, while I wait for a new exciting professional chapter to start soon, this final line is a pure chore of gratitude to all those Sandoz i.e. B2B leaders, colleagues, partners and mentors who believed in me and I am now lucky to call friends! The journey continues.
