Designed to combine the nimbleness and innovation of a small biotech with the resources of “Big Pharma,” this business unit points to its medical and commercial talent and their “patient‐first” focus as key to its development and marketing of a pipeline of highly successful cancer‐fighting compounds around the world. The author describes the rationale for the unit's creation and its “winning proposition”; outlines the eight main components of its talent management strategy for a highly expert workforce; and highlights commercial and medical talent's contributions to Novartis Oncology in terms of commercial excellence, innovation, reputation, and ability to build and retain a world‐class team. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
