"Theirs is a road map to drive excellence and continue success over the next five years through capability development and a good cultural mindset. Theirs is also an environment renowned for nurturing innovation through 'insight, ideas and impact'."
Company overview - sanofi-aventis
In 2009 sanofi-aventis were facing an acute challenge due to declining R&D, increasing competition, decreasing success of their commercial model and rising costs. With acquisitions made in the last two years to strengthen their core brands in cancer and diabetes, sanofi-aventis have clearly prioritised outcomes – for the business, customer and patient – in their business philosophy. They handled structural changes in a very impressive way, displaying excellent management of their employees while reducing the organisation by 30 per cent.
Judges' comments
"'Collaboration', 'advocacy' … the new sanofi-aventis philosophy – pioneered in the UK – encompasses the best in pharma/healthcare initiatives and accountability. It is clear that they have changed the way they think about marketing and developed excellent local level understanding."
