Program design

The program consists of four interactive modules. Three modules, 2-3 days each, in Stockholm and a business trip to Northern Sweden to study the sustainable, innovative transformation that is taking place in the region. We mix workshops, experience-sharing, reflection and informal discussions within the group. To each module, we invite top executive leaders and other highly respected experts. Through personal dialogues and fruitful discussions, the participants will gain new knowledge and inspiration. After each module, the participants make a personal action plan.
