Nicola Smith
Culture & Capability Director - Global Procurement

Nicola is based in Macclesfield and has been with AstraZeneca for 15 years. Currently supporting the Culture and Capability Director in Global Procurement, Nicola began her career as a Biochemist before moving into HR. Nicola says having exposure to roles in science, HR and procurement makes the job always feel new and different, with many learning opportunities.

Susan: 澳门葡京赌博游戏被鼓励去冒聪明的风险，做出正确的选择来赢得胜利，这就是澳门葡京赌博游戏学习的方式，也是导致创新的原因. 澳门葡京赌博游戏也被鼓励发出自己的声音，畅所欲言，分享想法，挑战现状. 我喜欢澳门葡京赌博游戏有快速失败的空间，并从经过计算的风险中学习. That’s the culture AstraZeneca breathes, and it’s led from the top.

Nicola: 这个组织的每个人都有一个真正的承诺，将学习融入日常活动. Learning isn’t just about going to a training course; learning comes from experiences too.  澳门葡京赌博游戏的文化和心态发生了巨大的转变，澳门葡京赌博游戏在做任何事情时都看到了学习. It’s integral to the way we go about our day to day.

澳门葡京赌博游戏也重视从失败中学习——抽出时间承认失败，并从失败中学习. And this helps us to feel more comfortable about taking smart risks.

Susan: 澳门葡京赌博游戏有一个叫做degree的在线学习平台，它给了澳门葡京赌博游戏以自己的方式学习的能力和灵活性. 它提供了访问世界级外部资源的途径，甚至推送了与澳门葡京赌博游戏的技能和学习历史直接相关的推荐内容. It helps us connect with other learners, follow colleagues, and thought leaders, as well as sharing our own learning journeys.

澳门葡京赌博游戏喜欢有机发展的文化——澳门葡京赌博游戏和澳门葡京赌博游戏的经理讨论的事情, which feed into our development plans, and we’re empowered to make the right choices to drive that ourselves.

Nicola: We don’t need to wait for permission. Curiosity is instilled in people at AstraZeneca, which I love! I’ve found opportunities for development, asked for them and have been supported. To give an example, 当我加入人力资源部时，我获得了获得特许人事发展协会(CIPD)资格的资助. I began as a Biochemist but now I have a completely different career, 因此，对我来说，积极主动地做出正确的选择改变了游戏规则. I see every experience as a learning opportunity.

Susan: I still remember something that a colleague once said to me, “有两件事能改变你的一生——你遇到的人和你读的书。.“在我看来，澳门葡京赌博游戏的学习平台degree就是那些书的现代版. 它提供了数字化学习的机会——澳门葡京赌博游戏只需要做出正确的选择来抓住这些机会. 学位与澳门葡京赌博游戏的创新文化相辅相成，并强调澳门葡京赌博游戏并非无所不知——澳门葡京赌博游戏每天都在学习. 它为澳门葡京赌博游戏提供了一个平台，帮助澳门葡京赌博游戏通过分享观点和经验来找到这些答案.

Nicola: 除非澳门葡京赌博游戏下定决心做出正确的选择，学习并不断发展, adapt and innovate, 澳门葡京赌博游戏无法实现澳门葡京赌博游戏的目标——突破科学的界限，提供改变生活的药物. 学习是澳门葡京赌博游戏需要不断做的事情——这是澳门葡京赌博游戏如何不断保持领先地位并找到新机会的方法. And that’s how we innovate.
