Amgen Team Discovers Collaborative Success Near Los Angeles, California

The Build-A-Bike® event challenged Amgen’s naturally competitive team to think differently about problem-solving. The company’s headquarters provided a fitting backdrop for an event that would mirror their innovative approach to scientific discovery, requiring teams to look beyond their initial assumptions to find success.

Initially, teams approached the challenge with the same determined focus they bring to their groundbreaking research, attempting to solve every clue independently. However, much like their approach to pioneering new treatments, they soon discovered that breakthrough success required collaboration across teams. The turning point came when participants realized that the solution lay not in individual team excellence, but in cross-team cooperation. This shift in mindset led to accelerated progress and successful completion of the bicycle assembly challenge. The completed bikes, donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley, represented not just their technical achievement but also their growth in understanding the power of collaboration.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Amgen for their commitment to both team development and community support. Special thanks to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley for their partnership in bringing joy to local children.
