Beginning in 1923, Eli Lilly and Company began developing solutions for patients with diabetes. Over the years, it became known as a market leader in diabetes care. However, as the company grew, its focus expanded to include a wider portfolio of therapies to address multiple health issues. In 2009, the company created Lilly Diabetes as a stand-alone business unit to recommit to diabetes leadership. In this session, you will learn how Lilly Diabetes used online and offline social interactions to engage its employees in working toward a singular goal of becoming the world's leading diabetes company by 2020.
