The document summarizes an interview with Lars Sørensen, the CEO of Novo Nordisk, who was ranked the #1 CEO in the world by HBR. Some key points:
1) Sørensen believes Novo Nordisk should focus narrowly on diabetes treatment, where they excel, rather than diversifying into new areas like some suggest.
2) Under Sørensen's leadership, Novo Nordisk created an independent nonprofit to build healthcare capacity in developing countries and ensures access to medicines by selling generics at low costs.
3) Sørensen measures the company's performance using a "triple bottom line" of financial, social and environmental impacts, believing social and environmental

Measuring “Culture of Safety” Tawam’s Experience
Discovery:
Tawam Hospital’s Executive leadership realized the need to establish a “Culture of Safety” within the organization and implemented the Johns Hopkins Medicine “Comprehensive Unit based Safety Program” (CUSP). CUSP was introduced as a pilot project in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NNU) and Paediatric Oncology Unit (Peds Onc).
Prior to implementation the leadership decided to measure staff perception of safety using evidence based tool.
Solution:
Tawam partnered with Pascal Metrics to implement the Safety Attitude Questionnaire survey. The SAQ was administered to all Tawam Hospital staff in three phases (2008, 2010 and 2011). In 2010 the pilot CUSP units were also resurveyed to determine the status of safety culture since its introduction in 2008.
An email from the CEO was sent to the participants encouraging them to participate in the SAQ survey.
Physicians, nurses, ward-clerks; respiratory therapist, physiotherapist, dieticians etc were included in the survey.
Those who spent at least 50% of their time in the identified units were only included to participate in the survey.
Survey was administered during departmental meetings to increase response rate.
Conducted separate sessions of physicians.
Staff dropped the completed surveys in an envelope.
82% of staff in the patient care areas of the whole hospital participated in the overall 3 phases of SAQ Survey.
The three CUSP pilot units were re-surveyed in 2010.
Anonymity, privacy and confidentiality were maintained from the beginning till the end.
Outcome:
The survey results were graded against percentage positive responses. Responses that were less than 60% mark were graded in the danger zone and anything above the 80% mark were graded in the goal zone. Teamwork climate and Safety climate scale scores are considered to be primary dependent variables, because they are important in preventing patient harm.
The overall hospital score on all the domain scores were in the danger zone, less than 60%. 20 clinical locations in 2010 and 7 clinical locations in 2011 had less than 60% scores in the primary dependent variables.
The SAQ results were disseminated department wise in the presence of a hospital Senior Executive. Every department did an action plan using the SAQ de-briefer tool. The hospital administrators to bring about the change played a facilitators role and helped the departments to come up with their actionable plans.
The hospital leadership in their pursuit to continuing the culture of safety journey, identified six more units for CUSP implementation based on the Phase 2 SAQ scores of 2010. Accordingly the Medical 1, Medical 2, Surgical 1, Surgical 2, Day Case and OBGYN Units were identified for the CUSP roll out. Senior Executive leaders were assigned to each of these new CUSP units to ensure leadership commi

Perception is important for understanding individual differences because how people perceived a situation determines how people behave. Perception is part of that personal dimension that makes people see situations differently as well as shapes their attitude in terms of their work environment. This lesson seeks to help students:
1. describe the major elements of the perceptual process;
2. identify the main factors that influence what individual perceive; and
3. Identify factors that determine how one person perceives another.

Executive SummaryExecutive Summary Johnson & Johnson is a multinational American company with headquarters in New Bunswick, New Jersey. Medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer health are the three main business sectors of Johnson & Johnson, which was founded in 1886. J&J is a Fortune 500 firm with about 250 subsidiary businesses that operate in more than 60 countries and sell goods in more than 175 nations. To stand out from rivals, Johnson & Johnson relies on its products and innovation. With the help of this company analysis, students can examine every facet of Johnson & Johnson's operations as consultants. This pertinent data may be used to shed light on how J&J might enhance internal and external operations while enhancing its financial performance and stockholder value. The Strategic Management textbook and other trustworthy sources, such as Johnson & Johnson's annual reports, investor website, and news releases, were used to compile all of the information for this research. Through this capstone project, students can examine pertinent corporate finances and gain knowledge about the potential pitfalls of their chosen career pathways.I was able to get substantial Microsoft Excel knowledge with this assignment, which will help me as I begin to improve my career-related skills. Due to the significant study and analysis required to create each tool, I also had to learn good time management techniques. When examining a company's financials and annual reports to estimate its value, I also feel as though I learned knowledge.

New branding 101 - Start Up Right & StrongLulu Dragonfly
Branding now is the core of a successful business. Branding has evolved. It is way more than a visual identity, a tone and attribute. It is no longer the tip of the iceberg, meaning what customers see and the hidden, opaque, part what your company is.
Branding today is this fabulous aura your company is based on. Per say, branding starts by transparent business vision, goals and values, aligning the way your company conducts business and what you actually deliver.
Branding rules all your business choices. It is like a guideline you lean on for any decision you have to make. Financials, HR, production and procurement, social welfare, organization, and of course business strategy.
How could you do differently in a society starving for sincerity and humanity.
From this point results a whole new game with new rules for conducting business.
You company has to be what she claims she is… or she is exposed to an irreversible disaster.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. How Survey done?
To compile the ranking, HBR considered
1.Total shareholder return and
2.The change in each company's market capitalization.
This year, HBR also added a measurement of each company's
3.environmental, social, and governance performance (using ESG
scores from investment research firm Sustainalytics).
Ultimately, long-term financial results were weighted at 80% and ESG
performance at 20% for each CEO/company.
4. Sorensen comes in at No. 1 in part due to Novo Nordisk's high ESG rating.
According to Sustainalytics and HBR, "the company benefits from, among
other things, its decision to offer insulin at a steep discount to consumers
in developing countries; its transparent and limited political lobbying
practices; and its responsible policy on animal testing.“
Notably absent from the top is Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, last year's No. 1
CEO, who fell a whopping 87 spots this year due to the addition of the ESG
measure.
HBR also notes that ex-Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn, who resigned
amid the emissions scandal as the list was going to press, is ranked No. 20
based on the company's financial data through April 30 and a strong ESG
score that has since been downgraded by Sustainalytics.
Some fascinating trends emerged this year. MBAs are still a badge of honor,
but decreasingly so - 26 of the top 100 CEOs have the degree, compared to
29 last year. The top CEOs are in consumer goods, healthcare, and financial
services. And diversity remains a problem: Only two of the top 100 are
women.
5. His Profile
Mr Sørensen has an MSc in Forestry from the Royal Veterinary and
Agricultural University, Denmark (now the Faculty of Science of the
University of Copenhagen) from 1981
BSc in International Economics from the Copenhagen Business School from
1983.
Mr Sørensen received the French award Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la
Légion d'Honneur in 2005.
In October 2007, Mr Sørensen became an adjunct professor at the Faculty of
Life Sciences of the University of Copenhagen.
Mr Sørensen is a Danish national, born October 1954.
Lars Rebien Sørensen joined Novo Nordisk’s Enzymes Marketing in 1982.
Over the years, he has completed several overseas postings, including in the
Middle East and the US. Mr Sørensen was appointed a member of Corporate
Management in May 1994, and in December 1994 he was given special
responsibility within Corporate Management for Health Care. He was
appointed president and chief executive officer in November 2000.
6. 1. HBR: Is your company too dependent on treating a single disease?
Sørensen: Outsiders sometimes come in and say, “You’re dependent on
diabetes for 80% of your revenue—you should diversify.” But I’ve always
believed that you should do things that you know something about, that
you’re good at. We’ve tried a lot of diversification strategies in the past, but
we’ve failed because of the inherent scientific and commercial uncertainty
and our own naïveté. So our expansion has been completely organic.
2. HBR:What about diversifying into adjacent areas?
Since I joined the company, 33 years ago, I’ve been part of some of the most
stupid mistakes. One of the worst was trying to get into glucose monitoring.
Everybody said, “This makes sense. You’re a diabetes company; you should
get into glucose monitoring to offer more products to your customer.” But
the technology for blood glucose monitoring is different. The regulatory
framework is different. The sales and distribution are different. We would
not have been successful. I could share many, many similar examples. So
over the past 20 years, we’ve been narrowly focused on the thing we’re
really good at.
7. 3.What happens to your business if diabetes is eventually cured?
• After I became CEO, in 2000, I predicted we would cure diabetes in 15
years. We’re still 15 years away. But that is the big goal. I tell my
employees, “If we wind up curing diabetes, and it destroys a big part of our
business, we can be proud, and you can get a job anywhere. We’ll have
worked on the greatest social service of any pharmaceutical company, and
that would be a phenomenal thing.”
4. You sell a lifesaving drug at different prices all around the world. How do
you manage that?
• When I took charge of the company, the pharmaceutical industry was going
through a major PR catastrophe in South Africa over how it priced HIV-AIDS
drugs. We didn’t sell those drugs, but the problem made me consider:
What if the conflict had been over diabetes drugs? How would we have
responded? One of our answers was to create an independent nonprofit
organization called the World Diabetes Foundation. Its objective is building
capacity in countries where diabetes is poorly treated. We take a slice of
revenue from each vial of insulin we sell and put it into the foundation. The
foundation makes grants in such places as East Asia, some Latin American
countries, and Africa. After its creation, criticisms that NGOs had been
directing at us completely vanished.
8. 5. Your strategy of selling both generic and highly differentiated
products is unusual.
• Consultants will tell you companies shouldn’t do that—it won’t work.
But this strategy ensures our reputation. It’s to our advantage to have
high-quality generic products, human insulin, for countries and
populations that can’t afford most of the advanced products that
more-affluent patients want.
6. Why do you measure results using a triple bottom line?
• Our philosophy is that corporate social responsibility is nothing but
maximizing the value of your company over a long period of time,
because in the long term, social and environmental issues become
financial issues. There is really no hocus-pocus about this. And Novo
Nordisk is part-owned by a Danish foundation that obliges us to
maximize the value of the company for the long term.
9. 7. How do social and environmental issues become financial issues over
time?
• If we keep polluting, stricter regulations will be imposed, and energy
consumption will become more costly. The same thing applies on the
social side. If we don’t treat employees well, if we don’t behave as
good corporate citizens in our local communities, and if we don’t
provide inexpensive products for poorer countries, governments will
impose regulations on us that will end up being very costly.
Some people believe it’s impossible to measure corporate social
responsibility and that it’s a mistake to try to quantify such behaviors.
The public is divided about that. There are individuals trying to push
this agenda, and very helpful academics, such as Michael Porter with
his idea of shared value, are trying to develop measurements and
make them more credible.
10. 8. Why don’t more companies manage for the long term?
• They feel shareholder pressure to create short-term value, as opposed to
strengthening the long-term sustainability of the company. Shareholders
can move their capital around with a flick of a finger, yet in pharmaceutical
research it can take more than 20 years to develop a new product.
9. Would you tell other CEOs to ignore those short-term pressures?
• As a U.S. CEO, you cannot ignore responsibilities to shareholders. You can
say, “I’m going to increase shareholder value over 15 years, so hang on
with me—it’s going to be a little tight the next couple of years.” But unless
you have block ownership and can convince shareholders they’re going to
be richer in 15 years than if they sell the stock now, then someone will walk
in with a successful offer to buy the company, because you’re not
performing. The only way to change this, if society wants to change it, is to
see pension funds behave differently with their investments.
11. 10. How has your leadership style changed in your 15 years as CEO?
• I came from the operational side, so I had to change my personal
perspective on what my job was—to be less operational and more
involved in setting the direction of the company. I had to focus more
on establishing the tone and the values and personally
communicating with our employees and stakeholders. That was a big
transition for me because I was more comfortable running the
business, selling stuff, manufacturing stuff. Recently, I’ve become
more involved with the research side, because I have to direct
resources. This is the most exciting thing—the science. Even though
I’m not a scientist, I understand a little biology, and our scientists have
been patient with me—they’ve taught me a lot over the years.
12. 11. What makes a great business leader?
• It’s very contextual. It depends on the nature of the company, its
history, its ambitions, its financial resources, its other resources, and
the social context.
12. How do you describe your leadership style?
• I have a Scandinavian leadership style, which is consensus-oriented.
That principle is enshrined in our management procedures. I’m
obliged to reach consensus with my colleagues on all decisions, and if
we can’t, any objection needs to be reported to the board. However, I
spent six years in the United States earlier in my career, and that
influenced me tremendously. I’m slightly more aggressive than the
typical Scandinavian business leader.
13. 13.How do you keep employees engaged?
• People like to do exciting things. They like to be part of the journey in
which we’re saving people’s lives. So we bring patients in to see
employees. We illuminate the big difference we’re making. Without
our medication, 24 million people would suffer. There is nothing more
motivating for people than to go to work and save people’s lives.
14. Most companies aren’t saving lives, so how do they motivate
employees?
• That’s much more difficult. I have enormous respect for people who
make steel or mattresses or whatever. How on earth can they get
employees engaged at a very high level? That is a much more difficult
task.
14. 15. What can other companies learn from your innovation strategy?
• You need to be painfully honest in answering three questions: What
are our strengths, what are our capabilities, and what risks do we
dare take? Then, based on all of that, see if you can create some
vision that is ambitious but not unreachable. It requires in-depth
understanding of the particular industry and marketplace you want to
serve.
15. 16. Any other lessons to share?
• I should have said at the beginning that I
don’t like this notion of the “best-
performing CEO in the world.” That’s an
American perspective—you lionize
individuals. I would say I’m leading a team
that is collectively creating one of the
world’s best-performing companies. That’s
different from being the world’s best-
performing CEO—it’s a very big difference,
especially in a business in which the
timelines are 20 or 25 years. You inherit
the situation from your predecessor. You
may be the best CEO in the world, but you
might inherit a bad business. Or the last
guy spent 15 years creating a better
business, and when the next guy takes
over, he becomes a hero.
