Novo Nordisk is headquartered in Denmark and focuses almost exclusively on diabetes treatment. In addition to lead- ing the company through financial growth and expansion, Mr. Sørensen, who has been with the company for 33 years, is also deep- ly engaged with social and environmental issues. "Corporate social responsibility is nothing but maximizing the value of your company over a long period," Mr. Sørensen told HBR. "In the long term, social and en- vironmental issues become financial issues." e 12 other healthcare CEOs included on HBR's list are named below. • George Scangos, CEO, Biogen (Cam- bridge, Mass.) — No. 8 • Lars Rasmussen, CEO, Coloplast (Den- mark) — No. 17 • Douglas Berthiaume, CEO, Waters (Mil- ford, Mass.) — No. 37 • John Martin, CEO, Gilead Sciences (Foster City, Calif.) — No. 42 • Lamberto Andreotti, CEO, Bristol-Myers Squibb (New York City) — No. 57 • John Hammergren, CEO, McKesson (San Francisco) — No. 63 • George Paz, CEO, Express Scripts (St. Louis, Mo.) — No. 64 • Flemming Ornskov, CEO, Shire (United Kingdom) — No. 74 • Neal Patterson, CEO, Cerner (Kansas City, Mo.) — No. 79 • Leonard Schleifer, CEO, Regeneron Phar- maceuticals (Tarrytown, N.Y.) — No. 85 • Mark Bertolini, CEO, Aetna (Hartford, Conn.) — No. 90 • Ulf Schneider, CEO, Fresenius (Germany) — No. 94 HBR tracks and analyzes each CEO's performance from the first day of his or her tenure. Its goal is to determine a ranking that goes deeper than the most recent quar- terly or annual results, and instead evalu- ates long-term performance. Previously, HBR's ranking criteria was based solely on stock market number, total shareholder return and the change in each company's market capitalization. is year, a measurement of each company's environ- mental, social and governance performance is included in the ranking. Long-term fi- nancial results are weighted at 80 percent and ESG performance at 20 percent. n 10 Hospitals With Most Positive Buzz on Twitter By Heather Punke A new website has been mon- itoring hospitals' activity on Twitter and has sourced a list of 10 hospitals that get the most positive tweets. The top 10 hospitals tended to be children's hospitals or those with a specialty focus. The website, CrowdClinical. com, was built around a study pub- lished in BMJ Quality & Safety that found Tweets can be a useful way to measure patient satisfaction and experience. The website started monitoring hospitals' Twitter feeds on February 22 and compiled a list of 10 hos- pitals that had "the most positive patient experience tweets sent to them." The list was restricted to hospitals that had more than 20 tweets. The 10 hospitals are: 1. Seattle Children's Hospital 2. Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn.) 3. Boston Children's Hospital 4. Children's Hospital of Philadel- phia 5. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston) 6. Cancer Treatment Centers of America 7. NYU Langone Medical Center (New York City) 8. Hospital for Special Surgery (New York City) 9. Children's Hospitals & Clinics of Minnesota (Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.) 10. Children's Hospital of Pitts- burgh Additionally, the website allows people to search for specific hos- pitals and see how many positive, negative or neutral tweets get sent their way, as well as their CMS-re- ported patient experience and quality scores. n CEOs' No. 1 Source of Worry in 2015 By Erin Marshall W hat does Uber have to do with CEOs? In a recent survey by Ar- monk, N.Y.-based IBM, CEOs said their biggest fear is being "Uber-ized" or having "Uber syndrome." That is to say, one of their greatest sources of worry is being disrupted by a digital start-up company from outside their industry, just like Uber disrupted the taxi business. The IBM Institute for Business Value conducted interviews with over 5,200 CEOs, CFOs and CMOs. This year, 54 per- cent of C-suite executives responding to the survey said they feared outside digital competition, compared to 43 percent who said so in 2013. "They've watched this happen — where another organization can come in and dis- rupt the business without having infrastruc- ture, assets or armies of people," Linda Ban, IBM's global C-suite study director, told The Washington Post. "They're looking at that and saying, now where do I look for my Uber?" According to the study, CEOs believe industry convergence, a progressively more mobile workforce and increasing risk of cyber attacks will be the top three trends in the next three to five years. In addition, 68 percent of executives said IT security is their top risk. For the first time in the 18 years IBM has conducted the survey, CEOs believed technological changes will have a bigger impact on their business than regulatory concerns, globalization and shortages of people skills. n
