CEO PANEL
One of the most often asked questions we get about creating culture change is “how do I get my CEO on board?” We decided to ask them. We engaged five of our most experienced and effective CEO leaders in an insightful conversation about why they believe developing a constructive culture is so critical to the success of their organisations: • What convinced them that the investment required to do the work was worthwhile? • What have they learnt about how culture shapes performance in their organisation? • If they needed to convince another CEO of the value of culture, what would they say?

SANDOZ
Guy Strong, Country Head Australia & New Zealand along with the Head of People & Organisation Asia, Clarette Crame share the transformation journey of Sandoz. One that led them to drive an INSPIRED, CURIOUS & UNBOSSED culture. Where patients and their people are at the heart of everything they do. In 2018, Sandoz Australia & New Zealand encountered challenges in various aspects of their business and there was a critical need to identify what was standing in the way of good performance. While their market fundamentals were good, and the team were knowledgeable, their culture wasn’t matching up. Guy and Clarette tell the story of how they turned Sandoz around…with incredible results!
