00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.583
(lively music)

2
00:00:06.510 --> 00:00:07.680
<v Narrator>Sanofi is one</v>

3
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.780
of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies

4
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:12.390
in the world, with about 40 billion euros

5
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:15.824
of revenue and operating in over 100 countries.

6
00:00:15.824 --> 00:00:18.900
(lively music)

7
00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:21.810
From a digital standpoint, our mission is to become

8
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:25.770
the leading digital health care platform by 2025.

9
00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:28.860
So our original ambition was to deliver value

10
00:00:28.860 --> 00:00:31.113
both at speed and at scale.

11
00:00:32.142 --> 00:00:34.224
(lively music)

12
00:00:34.224 --> 00:00:35.940
<v ->The first thing we did was to focus</v>

13
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:38.760
on one area where we felt we could have a big impact.

14
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.200
The second thing is we looked

15
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.210
at a recruitment strategy and a plan.

16
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.670
We wanted to attract talent into the accelerator.

17
00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:47.220
And then we really took the BOT approach-

18
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:50.610
that build, operate, transfer, those phases.

19
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.730
In the build phase, you lean on external partners

20
00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:56.130
to help you accelerate and scale fast.

21
00:00:56.130 --> 00:01:00.210
In that second phase, you move the talent slowly inside

22
00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:03.270
and transfer your knowledge, and then you become autonomous.

23
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:05.880
We've got over 20 nationalities in the accelerator

24
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.950
and I could not be more proud of it.

25
00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:11.370
I call the accelerator the mini United Nations of Sanofi.

26
00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:12.840
We've also created an upskilling program

27
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.130
for our own Sanofians.

28
00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:16.470
It's a place where people learn the new skills,

29
00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:18.630
the digital skills of the future.

30
00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:22.350
BCG was instrumental in helping us build the accelerator.

31
00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:24.030
It's been a true partnership.

32
00:01:24.030 --> 00:01:26.310
The first thing they brought is industry expertise.

33
00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:28.680
The life science industry is quite complex

34
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.720
and they've got deep expertise in the field.

35
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.630
The second is they brought technical expertise

36
00:01:33.630 --> 00:01:35.670
around machine learning, AI

37
00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:39.060
for some of our products, which are very sophisticated.

38
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:42.450
Thirdly, the BOT model, the build, operate, transfer model,

39
00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:45.270
and that was essential for the success of the accelerator.

40
00:01:45.270 --> 00:01:49.440
Lastly, they helped us continuously focus on value creation.

41
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:52.529
And for all of this, I'm extremely thankful to BCG.
