Long time since an update here. Last being in may before the summer. Great balance though with work, school and time off. ⭐️
Finished the 16 week base courses in mid August on the Chief Digital Office program att Northwestern University – Kellogg. Great courses and a perfect balance and work load being able to do it along other work duties. In conjunction to the base finished I went into one of my online elective courses – Design Thinking! So good and worthwhile. Finished that course this week and waiting (and hoping) to get the end assignment approved.
Summer went by with work with a project that continued this fall with some travvelling involved. A fun and interesting project surrounded with good and compentent people.🙏
During the spring and summer we finalized the recruitment of an external CEO in the dermatology company I am chairman in. Great to have her onboard and she started the first week in October and has already now etablished herself great in the organization.
During this hiatus I have had three board periods/meeting in the companies I am involved in. There is of course a bit of uncertainty where the overall market will go with inflation, possible recession and energyprices going up. Good thing though is that all the companies are performing well and there underlying trend for them is there is still business and market shares to take⭐️⭐️⭐️
During this period there has been quite a lot of travels, both business and leisure, and quite hectic the last couple of weeks since I also had my live elective course in Evanston/Chicago as a part of my CDO program. I choose to take the course – Driving Organizational Change and it was great with good professors teaching and a perfect setup at Campus at Northwestern University/Kellogg.
So during this period there has been travels to south of France, Paris, London, Athens, NYC and Chicago. Great visits and with a first time highlight visiting Chicago – beatiful and a great city💫🤩
This week I have just finished the second boardmeetings for this season and the companies are in the process of doing budgets/prognosis för 2023 with quite difficult visibility of the future but the main thing is there is a lot of activity and the management acting proactively which is the main thing. 👏🏼
