At Novo Nordisk, our purpose is to drive change to defeat diabetes and other serious, chronic diseases by providing the best, sustainable solutions and products. To identify the right solutions for tomorrow, we are digitalising the development of pharmaceutical products.
Novo Nordisk Development spends more than €100mn yearly on digital solutions – in Development Digital Transformation Office, we make sure that the strategic impact of our investments is maximised. 
As we invest heavily in digital products across Development, our area guides these investments to deliver important business outcomes and value to users. We are responsible for the portfolio strategy, product prioritisation, tracking value realisation, aligning change efforts, and maturing ideas for new digital products. We are a key contributor to set the direction for cultural evolution, ways of working, and capability building across the organisation.
