Hello Innovators!

This week flew by as always and we barely had time to catch our collective breaths before we were into the weekend and recovering.

We work a lot with innovation governance here in the Nordics and this week was no different. I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts and opinions on this topic in particular since January and have finally revealed to the team the first final draft of my article. And no, not written by ChatGPT. Although she did provide some insight… After a few rounds of edits I will be sharing this gargantuan piece of work with you all as well.

Very proud of my table of contents… Now just to finalise the content!

The week ended with a couple surprises: first, my son caught the winter stomach flu and wouldn’t let me leave his side (surprise for me). That meant that Johan was alone driving our workshop with the Accelerate programme participants (surprise for him). But don’t feel too bad for him, he shines in the spotlight : )

An example artefact from 2030!
Ideating for the future!
Our VR maze to help build trust and improve collaboration. Plus it’s super fun!

After painting the future, ideating for future needs and then presenting the artefacts back to their colelagues, the Accelerat-ors were treated(?) to our Virtual reality maze, designed by our own immersive tech expert, Arthur.

We’ve got a lot in the pipes right now and we will share when we can.

Until next week, keep innovating!
