Scaling & Managing a BOLD Initiative to Reimagine Medicine

A key component of the UNBOSSED culture at Novartis is Genesis Labs. This startup program invites associates to submit scientific ideas for consideration for dedicated funding. Its purpose? To rapidly prototype new discoveries, accelerate scientific innovation, and nurture grassroots concepts.

To scale and manage this bold initiative, Novartis partnered with Planbox to empower associates to fearlessly contribute their crazy transformative ideas for reimagining medicine.

“Using Planbox, we encouraged psychological safety with our colleagues who were willing to put themselves out there and propose what sometimes might seem like crazy transformative ideas on the platform,” says Aimee Reynolds, Genesis Labs Project Liaison, Novartis

Bringing Together Associates

Effective collaboration can be challenging for large organizations with groups spread across different locations, each with its own priorities and objectives.

Novartis’ goal was to bring together associates from across the company via Planbox’s platform, harness their knowledge and creativity, nurture co-creation, and ensure the best ideas could rise to the surface.

“We saw colleagues who felt willing and safe to provide comments and feedback, make new connections and build their network. Then, of course, we saw many ideas. Partnering with Planbox truly helped us advance UNBOSSED innovation at Novartis,” says Aimee Reynolds, Genesis Labs Project Liaison, Novartis
