Leadership in Action - student experience

Interested in leadership on a continuing education basis? A video interviewing a student from the 2015/2016 class of BI's Leadership in Action course is out, on You tube (Sept 2016). The video is focusing in on the student's own experiences from this. You can find it here, or above, next entry! https://youtu.be/MiR27uH-vFs - (The language is Norwegian).

"Leadership in Action" (LiA) is a flexible course that can be taken  as the final course of BI's Bachelor of Management, a program possible to take & "build" in an adaptive way on a part time basis. The final "LiA" course* can also be taken independently

- (see requirements on BI's website, https://www.bi.no/videreutdanning/bachelorstudier-deltid/bachelor-of-management/oversikt/).

Bokstuntet "Uroens bokhandel"

(in Norwegian)

Anbefalt: Hva kan ikke 1 person gjøre for å fremme god litteratur!

Det har siste dager pågått et bokstunt i Oslo.
Mannen bak er Christian Kjelstrup, til vanlig forlagsredaktør (på perm p.t.). Hans prosjekt har vært å omsette 1 bok - Pessoas Uroens bok-  i 1 uke.

Selges fra en midlertidig og raskt etablert bokhandel i Thereses gate, for anledningen kalt Uroens bokhandel. Informasjon er spredt via sosiale medier (FB, Twitter).

Modig og flott!

Les denne bakgrunnen:

Tom Egeland: Historien bak bokstuntet "Uroens bokhandel"


Ser frem til samtaler fremover rundt Uroens bok - som er en serie fragmenter eller betraktinger.

Referert til som "Verdens beste bok". Skrevet av Portugals kanskje største forfatter, Fernando Pessoa. Han har også inspirert Nobelprisvinneren og landsmannen José Saramago. Det var slik jeg oppdaget Pessoas bok.

Design innovation - new thesis (blogowner´s own work)

New and creative design comes about through close collaboration between dedicated industrial designers and key personnel in companies.

 Excerpts from my dissertation information (edited by Audun Farbrot based on author´s input):

 In search of industrial design – hidden treasures

 In her PhD study Jevnaker examined how creative design can be developed through long-term collaboration between enterprising company employees and external specialists in industrial design. Among other things, she followed design development processes at previous furniture manufacturers Håg and Stokke, the reverse vending solutions company Tomra, and Hamax, a manufacturer of child seats for bicycles, snow sledges, and ski products.

Jevnaker interviewed 54 managers, developers and marketing professionals from five industrial export companies and three service companies. She also interviewed several experienced, specialist designers from leading design firms in Norway and abroad. About 100 people in total were interviewed.

"We find a hidden treasure of models, know-how and modes of collaboration in the close cooperation between companies, industrial designers and design agencies. Long-lasting cooperation like this can create iterative innovations," says Jevnaker.
