I've been asked to sign up as a
public speaker in Sweden to talk about Innovation. Here's a short introduction on the topics I usually talk about.
"Magnus

Lecture 1-2 hours, one or two subjects
(possibly with shorter exercises)
The lecture
on innovation is divided into two parts; how to create a more innovative
climate and how the company can work on new ways of innovation.
Part 1 (1 / 2-1 hour):
The first
part is a lot about attitude and where we find ideas for innovation. It's about
trends, observation of the world around us and, above all, a new collaboration
with colleagues, partners and customers.
Topics for
the first part are key factors for successful innovation work; empathy, finding
problems, taking risks, creativity, networking, observation, resilience and
reflection.
Magnus
talks a lot about the formula for creating the creative workplace. How is it
that the coffee machine is where the best ideas are created?
Today there
is an overriding belief that technical solutions will pave the way into the
future when the big challenge really is something completely different. It is
the non-technical innovation that builds successful companies, technology and
digitization are of course included but operate primarily as accelerators.
Magnus
examines how you, as a company with simple means, can create an organization
that makes innovation a natural part of your daily work and how, as a manager,
you create the right conditions for committed innovation.
Part 2 (1 / 2-1 hour):
The second
part of the lecture is based on established research how product and business
model can be developed to meet a changing world. He reviews 14 effective ways
to strategically develop your market offer, all presented with clear, relevant
and interesting examples.
The
questions discussed in the second part of the lecture may be a matter for
management and managers, but the presentation is designed to make these
strategic choices relevant to the entire company.
