The Human Way to AI
Transformation that starts with people,
not just technology.
Welcome, team AstraZeneca!
What Science Can Do,
Powered by What
People Can Be.
To achieve AstraZeneca’s ambitious target of $80 billion in revenue
and 20 new medicines by 2030, the science must be groundbreaking,
but the culture delivering it must be equally transformative.
At Softway and Culture+, we believe that hitting these bold milestones
requires more than just advanced technology; it demands a workforce
that is empowered, resilient, and ready to innovate.
There's plenty to talk about.
When it comes to change, most organizations start with processes and technology, and save the people side for last.
Unfortunately, this approach creates uncertainty, mistrust, churn—and ineffective implementation.
