Case Study Highlights
At Sanofi, Vanessa Clémendot has placed the patient at the center of every process her team redesigns, every system it deploys, and every decision it makes. Her transformation rests on three drivers.
First, an intelligent risk management ecosystem now anticipates disruption before it materializes; on one occasion, it flagged a potential shortage of a life-saving medicine weeks in advance, preventing a crisis.
Second, AI and digital tools are shifting the team from reactive to predictive operations, with intelligent agents providing real-time visibility that helped ensure several million babies were protected during a global RSV immunization launch.
Third, Vanessa is building AI fluency across her organization so teams are liberated rather than threatened by intelligent systems, freeing them to focus on the judgment and care only people can provide.
