have a problem . Let ' s go see what we can do about it ." We want to be flexible enough to adjust to the changes that are happening in the world ," he adds . " The entire world has changed because of COVID-19 , and this has an influence on how our business operates – we have to be nimble enough to make sure we can react quickly to those changes ."
How well the team collaborated throughout the entire integration process and during the pandemic helped to contribute to what Rayapureddy calls “ The Viatris Way .” " It is a focus on people being performance-driven , but also being highly engaged in the diverse and inclusive culture we are building together . I ’ m really proud of the contributions of our IT team to the culture we are building .”
In the future , Rayapureddy envisages a hybrid working structure , where some people continue to work from home while others return to the office , potentially on a part-time basis . " We are now experimenting with different technologies to see how we as a group can facilitate that ," he says .
For now , the team can celebrate the successful launch of Viatris , whose mission is to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life . “ Access is part of our global mission , making high-quality medicines available to everyone , regardless of geography or circumstance ,” Rayapureddy says . “ If we don ’ t have the solution , we build partnerships so we can bring the right products to the right people . My team takes that same approach . We ’ re a pharma company , not an IT company , so we find partners with the technology to help us support our goals and who can provide the innovative solutions to give Viatris a competitive advantage as we deliver on our mission .”
