Thematic Meeting Groups


Join our thematic groups with common interests and challenges

Thematic Meeting Groups (TMG) have the purpose of knowledge and practices sharing in smaller groups with common interests and challenges. Each is facilitated by a group member and builds on the experiences of the members of the group.

Innovation management and AI

Innovation management and AI might seem like a mere set of buzzwords. However, those who know how vital this combination, and the resulting mindset, is in optimizing all parts of the innovation funnel, will benefit from this TMG.

We will try to leverage our member's experiences as much as possible, and also try to test things practically. Examples of relevant topics of discussion could include Knowledge Management Systems, Feedback Management, Data-linkage, Open Innovation, Decentralized Collaboration, and Smart Contracts in relation to Challenge-driven innovation.

Innovation management for sustainable development

Innovation management is critical for organizations looking to drive sustainability transformation. Join this thematic meeting group as we explore the success factors for sustainable innovation management. We will discuss strategies for operationalizing sustainability, fostering an innovation and sustainability culture, and addressing the challenges of developing products, services, and business models that help to achieve sustainability goals. All are welcome to participate and contribute to the conversation!

Contact Theresa Berg or Thomas Kirkegaards.

Innovation leadership

The purpose of the group is to provide innovation leaders with a learning space for sharing experiences and supporting each other on innovation leadership-related topics. Topics include leading and developing innovative teams, fostering innovative cultures, developing innovation leadership qualities and competencies, working with your leadership team on innovation dilemmas, easing into the role of an innovation leader, thought leadership, change management, and more.

We invite innovation leaders to share their leadership experiences and/or seek advice from the group on specific challenges. Anyone who is interested in growing as an innovation leader and wants to contribute to the joint learning experience is welcome to join!

The group is inactive, do you want to restart it? Contact info@innovationsledarna.se.

Innovation management in the public sector

The group will have a couple of different directions: 1) function as support and a place for knowledge exchange and joint coaching; 2) discuss and formulate the major challenges for innovation in the public sector and which the group can address through networks or direct work; and 3) the differences/nuances in the professional role compared to private sector can be formulated in the group's work.
