WHY GOING TO WORK SHOULD BE LIKE COMPETING IN A SPORT

Alloutcoach

In this new "InWeekend" series premiere of the podcast, the host, Tim Mikhelashvili, CEO of Amedea Pharma shares real world lessons from his career in the Medical Affairs function in the pharmaceutical industry to propose a modern approach to raising new standards in healthcare quality and ways of working in an environment constrained by resources and increasingly exposed to data.

He reviews 1 validated organizational change framework, 1 global case study, 5 latest research studies and benchmarking reports in the field or across different industries, cites clips from an organizational change expert Ron Carucci and a double Olympian swimmer Chris Cook to debate why work should be like a sport for a diverse, multi-functional profession not directly tied to revenue, to consistently improve its Medical Impact on patient outcomes and business profit.
