The external seminar series is directed primarily towards practitioners, from our cooperating companies or from others. The series has two legs, on one hand seminars with external researchers, preferably international, and on the other hand seminars and work shops based on our own research and research findings.
The seminars with external researchers takes advantage of the visits from international researchers and is run in co-operation with CHAMPS seminar series. The seminars are announced on the CBI News and more information may also be found at www.champs.se. The seminar presenters will though include other relevant speakers, from Sweden and other countries. Please see below for upcoming seminars and also reports from already held seminars. For the latter, click the ‘read more’ link below each seminar to learn more about the topics discussed and about the external seminar leader.
The 2nd leg of the series – work shops based on our research – is organized with participants from the industrial and academic arenas. The purpose of the CBI Workshop Series is two-fold. Firstly, we want to create an arena for the diffusion of the knowledge gained from our portfolio of research projects and secondly, the workshops will extend our research network, which, in turn, will improve our ability to create important and interesting future research collaborations.
CBI Day
On December 2nd 2010, we will hold a ‘CBI day’ with all collaborating partners invited to take part in an open forum. It will be aimed at: (1) spreading knowledge about our projects and way of working; (2) presenting research results; and (3) providing a forum for actors from companies, academia and institutions to meet. The theme for the CBI day will be decided upon later. Please note the date!

Professor John Bessant
This seminar is about innovation as a survival imperative. Unless we change what we offer the world and the way we create and deliver them, there is a good chance that we may not survive in today’s hostile business environment. Making a success of innovation depends on active management – innovation leadership.
The trouble is that even if we manage innovation in terms of keeping up – the risk is that this may not be enough. We also need the capacity to do something completely different- discontinuous change - or someone else may. In the seminar, Prof Bessant will discuss the following issues:
- How can we organise and manage the innovation process?
- How do we learn and keep up with ‘best practice’ in such a dynamic field?
- How do we deal with challenges which come beyond the ‘steady state’?
- How can we pick up early warning signals about discontinuous change - and what might we do to exploit the opportunities such change might create?
Professor John Bessant, Director of Research and Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
University of Exeter, U.K.

Dr Alexander Osterwalder
Business Model Innovation is about new ways of creating, delivering and capturing value. To achieve this organizations need a new set of tools for understanding, designing, sharing, measuring, changing and even simulating renewal and innovation. “Firms that are unable to systematically rejuvenate and innovate their business model will struggle to survive and thrive.” This is said by the business model guru Dr Alexander Osterwalder. In his work shop he will show you how to move your organization into the age of evolving business models with a set of powerful and practical methodologies and tools applied by leading organizations, such as Telenor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, 3M, and many more. Participants will understand why business model thinking is important today. They will be able to fully master and apply a systematic approach to business model innovation, which is practiced by innovators around the world. The workshop is based on his best selling management book "Business Model Generation: a handbooks for visionaries, game changers and challengers".

Professor Amy Shuen
On Friday May 7th, 2010, Professor Amy Shuen held a seminar for academics in the CBI Seminar Series.
About the seminar
In the seminar “Web 2.0 Strategy for Innovation”, based on a recent book, Professor Amy Shuen discussed how the web has changed the economics of business and collaboration. She argued that this has changed the core principles of strategic advantage and competitive advantage in all industries, not only in high-tech industries. Taking the stance in the seminal Strategic Management Journal article on Dynamic Capabilities that she co-authored in 1997 (Teece et al, 1997) , and her extensive experience in the field, Professor Shuen shared her insights on how companies can orchestrate their dynamic capabilities to meet the web 2.0 challenges.
