Why you want to work there
In 2012, this biopharmaceutical services organization in Research Triangle Park, N.C., revised its popular IT growth and development program to support a reorganization into a product team structure. Key to this change was the establishment of "communities of practice" to preserve the deep levels of expertise the workforce had in many IT disciplines. In another innovative step, the 2012 leadership meeting was set up as a virtual event in which videoconferencing and telepresence technology was used to bring 70 IT leaders on three continents together for a three-day meeting.
