Politicians are often described as those in power. They are elected, appointed and scrutinised for their ability to govern, prioritise and make decisions. This creates an image that they control the development of a country, including innovation. And to some extent this is true. But there is a crucial exception. […]

There is a recurring tension in the world of innovation. On one side is the desire to create, test and share. On the other side is the need to protect, regulate and secure. Many innovators feel that law slows down development. Many lawyers feel that law is what makes development […]
When working with innovation in complex systems, there is often a feeling that everything is connected but that it is difficult to know where to start. The technology is there. The actors are there. The need is there. But still, what you hope for does not happen. This is where […]
In a world where opportunities are many and demands are even more numerous, it is easy to get stuck. Organizations do things because they have to. Individuals do things because they can. Teams start projects because they want to. But very rarely do all three coincide. This is where the […]
It’s a thought that almost everyone who works with change has had at some point. You see a problem. You think it through. And suddenly the solution seems almost obvious. It could be about the climate, about how organizations should work or about how resources could be used smarter. You […]
System innovation rarely moves at a steady pace. When working to change entire systems, you are almost always dependent on many different actors. Companies. Municipalities. Authorities. Researchers. Residents. Financiers. Each of them has their own logic, their own decision-making processes and their own pace. This means that system change almost […]
It’s a feeling most people recognize. You sit there. A piece of paper in front of you. Or a blank presentation. Or a problem that needs to be solved. And nothing happens. Your brain feels empty. Everyone else seems to be able to come up with things. But you yourself […]
In many organizations, problems are treated as if they were technical tasks. Something to be analyzed, planned and then solved. But more and more of the issues we face do not work that way. Climate change. Integration. Energy transformation. Health issues. Digitalization of the public sector. These issues do not […]
We live in a time where change is happening faster than many organizations have time to plan for. Climate change, digitalization, geopolitics, energy transition and new technologies are changing the conditions in almost every sector. The problem is that many innovation methods are based on a fairly stable world. You […]
For most of modern history, innovation has had a fairly clear logic. Invent something new. Produce it efficiently. Find a market. And if the market runs out in one place, there is almost always another. A new region. A new country. A new continent. A new group of people who […]
We build them bigger and bigger. Hall after hall filled with servers. Cooling systems that hum 24/7. Cables that wind like nerve fibers through metal structures. Data centers in the Arctic cold to save energy. Data centers in the desert with gigantic solar parks. And now we’re even talking about […]
We’ve all been there. A meeting that lifts. A workshop that feels alive. Conversations flow. Ideas bounce between people. Time flies. When we leave the room, we’re satisfied, energized, and convinced that we’ve just been part of creating something important. We often think that it was our own input that […]
There is something strange happening right now. We have more help than ever. AI writes, summarizes, plans, analyzes. Automation streamlines. The flow of information is endless. Yet many people feel tired. Tired in the head. Tired in the body. Tired of constantly having to take in more. We scroll to […]
Two words are popping up more and more often in conversations about the future. Circularity and resilience. They are sometimes used almost as synonyms. But they do not mean the same thing. At the same time, they are so closely intertwined that you can see them as a kind of […]
