UCB’s U.S. Neurology team won a 2019 EyeForPharma award last night in the “Most Promising Agile Transformation” category, which recognizes an experimental initiative that has the potential to disrupt the status quo. The award was presented for the team’s Internal Engine transformation, fulfilling the award criteria of showing agility through rapid creation of a service that touched real customers before being refined and assessed through smart measurement.
