Assembling the Sandoz Jigsaw: Beyond the Spin-Off (Part C).
After its listing, Sandoz embarked on a new phase focused on governance in action. The task shifted from board formation to performance — establishing routines, defining its role in strategy and oversight, and deepening its collaboration with management. The case explores how a newly created board functions, learns, and adjusts its processes and composition.
The case discussion is intended to illustrate -
• How to develop an annual schedule for the board of a public company
• How to set the agenda and prepare/distribute board materials
• How to organize discussion in the boardroom
• What board-management collaboration should look like in and outside the boardroom
• How, as chair, to lead the board
• How to evaluate a board’s effectiveness and improve it
