My main take-away of 2024: we entered the age of AI, and we (humans) need to cultivate and develop 3 irreplaceable competencies : Adaptability, Agency and Self-directed learning • 🔄 Adaptability : Stay open and pivot fast when the world changes. • ✊ Agency : Move beyond complaints —champion the outcomes you desire. • 📚 Self-Directed Learning : Keep acquiring knowledge to stay ahead of the curve. At Sanofi within Business Operations and Global Finance Services, we ensure that our teams #NeverSettle and partner with our internal stakeholders to chase the miracles of science. No matter how powerful technology becomes, these human strengths will determine the impact of our leadership. How will you and your team sharpen these skills? See you in 2025!

THE SPEED OF TRUST I just finished to read this book (the speed of trust by S Covey). I want to share a very ispirational concept behind the trust that in my opinion should inspire all the team leaders. There is a strict connection bw Trust and Performance in other word the second one arrive when there is a solid base of trust. But which are the ingredients of the TRUST: - I like integrity , means being congruent inside and outside, means having the courage to act in accordance with our values and believes. - I like intent, means our real motives, but also when we genuinely care not only for ourselves but also for the people we interact with. - C like capabilities, means our knowledge, skills, attitude and style. - R like results this refers to the performance demonstrated by our track record. This concepts have inspired me.

Reflecting on a year of change and growth, I've realized that embracing new challenges is not just about adapting, but about thriving. Moving from Zurich to Boston has taught me that change, in all its glory, is a powerful teacher. It’s fascinating how subtle communication preferences and norms shape our experiences and interactions. Here's to more learning and evolving. #Boston #Zurich #Growth #ShiftPerspective #crossculturalcommunication

In my professional years in the industry, I have seen digital transformation presented as the magic solution to staying competitive. The promise is fascinating—improved efficiencies and smarter decision-making. However, digital transformation often fails to succeed. I believe that it’s not always the technology that lets us down, but the approach we take to implementing it. In my opinion, transformations require more than just training sessions. They demand a culture shift that touches every layer of the organisation. Digital solutions are only as good as the data they run on. Clean, accessible, and well-governed data forms the backbone of transformation. Achieving true digital transformation takes time, clarity, and an investment in people as much as technology. How do you see digital transformation evolving? Would love to hear your thoughts! #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #ChangeManagement

Yes, I am toasting 🥂 Thank you and congratulations to my co-students and professors at the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne/Switzerland 🙏 Successfully completing IMD´s "Digital Transformation in Practice" program - one of the most pragmatic, digital learning options on the topic - has been a unique opportunity with great rewards 🎓 To distill the curriculum with success stories from Michelin, Nike, Nestle and others, I highlight three points that are important for a successful digital transformation: 1️⃣ Sustainable change happens only with convincing support from top management and clear budget commitments. 2️⃣ Effective transformation requires standardized processes, change readiness and an optimistic mindset. 3️⃣ Systemic innovation is built upon cross-functional collaboration with defined goals, ROI metrics and corresponding Key Performance Indicators. Managing expectations is equally relevant. Be prepared for a journey, not a sprint. Or in Steve Jobs´words: "Overnight successes take a long time..." I am excited translating this expertise into practice helping others to smartly and sustainably embrace the opportunities of today´s digital age 🚀 IMD Michael Wade Didier Bonnet Konstadinos TRANSFORMING.LEGAL #change #transformation #digital #optimistic #innovation #sustainable #systemic #learning #culture #mindset #collaboration #success #examples

Did you know? Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms are increasingly surviving the medicines intended to treat them. It's called antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, and it's a major health threat.  Across Teva's operations and supply chain, we’re addressing #AMR in many ways. We piloted a program in Germany to get messages to people right when they picked up their antibiotics from the pharmacy or clinic to help them learn about ways to prevent AMR. So far we sent digital messages with these tips to: 🏥 ~11,000 pharmacies 🩺 ~65,000 healthcare professionals 🌐 ~275,000 patients As a company that makes antimicrobial medicines, we want to make sure they work. And if we all take steps to address AMR, like prescribing and using antibiotics correctly, we can contribute to healthy people and a healthy planet, which are essential for a #HealthyFuture. #AntimicrobialResistance
