Business ethics (Swedish style)
It is good to know that Swedish multinationals value and defend the ideals of the society and economy that set them off to global fame and fortune. In the wake of the Swedish artist Lars Vilks drawings of the prophet Muhammed, a death threat has been issued towards him. Not every day that happens to… Fortsätt läsa Business ethics (Swedish style)
A beautiful day
A brilliant sunny morning in the Archipelago today. My energy is up after my road trip with two different clients. Yesterday I participated in a sort of graduation ceremony for an in house leadership program for one of my clients. I, and several colleagues have designed and produced the program that has run for a… Fortsätt läsa A beautiful day
Looking back
I’m om the road, working with a client that has a staff meeting. The organization is a government agency charged with boosting innovation in Sweden. The theme for the meeting is "the unpredictability of history" which turns out to be quite an elegant twist. By learning about history they try to learn about the future.… Fortsätt läsa Looking back
Green politics in Sweden
A leak says the Swedish government will cut its budget for protection of biodiversity in Swedish forests. That is really stupid. And doesn’t build very much confidence in the tax system.

Stop shopping

What puzzles me is that the smart people know this, and continue to act as nothing dramatic is going on. Why? I’ve become very… Fortsätt läsa Smart people
New(s) habits
Only this morning I realized that I have totally changed my news consumption habits. I still check the news on the web quite often. And I still have a subscription for a daily newspaper. But instead of spending loads of time reading, I’m scanning and reading very selectively. What I’m scanning for is stuff that… Fortsätt läsa New(s) habits
Politics in Sweden – perhaps everywhere?
The Swedish government, through prime minister Reinfeldts personal interest, is trying to profile itself as enviro-conscious and taking action against the green-house effect. They have signaled that reductions of CO2 emissions need to happen, but have been generally careful in saying how much and when. (Surprise). The other day a government appointed council on climate… Fortsätt läsa Politics in Sweden – perhaps everywhere?
