One chart that will change how you work if you are in #learning and development , #Leadership development och #HR. In research, the gold standard is meta studies. I just found a meta study of meta studies in Nature. What is that? Diamond standard? And the topic is what impacts behavior formation the most. The take-away is that Knowledge of the behaviour has a Small impact on behaviour change; Behaviour skill has a medium impact. The only Large determinant of behaviour change is habit. "interventions to train habits are clearly promising and, among all individual targets, demonstrate the strongest impact on behavioural change" Posting link to the study in the comments

Turning Talk into Transformation... isn't always easy. When we talk about psychological safety, inclusion, and intercultural collaboration, it's sometimes hard to figure out how to move from talk to actual change. During last year's #Danmarksmentalesundhedsdag - an initiative from Velliv Foreningen - a small, but very diverse team at Rambøll had booked Expat Hero for a full-day workshop on cross-cultural collaboration and psychological safety. I'm thrilled to share that the tools we worked through during the workshop have led to actual change in how the team now approach each other and addresses mental well-being at work. A change with positive impact 👏 If you also want to turn talk into actual transformation in how you collaborate in your inter-culturally diverse teams then Velliv Foreningen is happy to support you with 10.000,- for a workshop or webinar on the topic during week 41 where focus is on placing mental wellbeing in the forefront on the agenda in Danish companies. It only takes 5 min. to apply for funding and you can pre-book your spot by dropping me an email: nanna@nannahauch.com Your can check out the offers from Expat Hero during Danmarks Mentale Sundhedsdag here 👇🏼 Workshop: https://lnkd.in/dZMq7b-K Webinar: https://lnkd.in/d-cPrkt6 #velliv #danmarksmentalesundhedsdag #expathero #crossculturalcollaboration #psychologicalsafety #transformation #interculturalleadership

If you want to stay up on speed on developments in the AI field I strongly recommend following Silo AI. Their "Nordic State of AI" report series, underscores the rapid evolution of AI in Nordic companies, yet highlights that many organizations are still in the early stages of truly harnessing its potential. From a leadership perspective, this presents both an urgent call to action and a profound learning opportunity as there are significant industrial changes ahead. The rapid doubling of AI technologies demands swift action. From my perspective, it's crucial to move from basic AI experiments with individual use of ChatGPT to a strategic roadmap that deeply embeds AI into the core operations, ensuring sustainable competitive advantage mitigating the risk of falling behind if they don't start their AI journey soon. The talent gap and need for AI literacy among non-technical staff are clear. This (again) calls for fostering a culture of continuous learning. By upskilling the workforce and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, we can better leverage AI and align initiatives with business objectives. Few companies have dedicated C-level AI champions or clear frameworks for assessing AI success. This insight highlights the necessity of defining clear leadership roles and strategic frameworks for AI within organizations. It’s essential to articulate a coherent AI strategy that aligns with the overall business goals and to implement robust metrics for tracking AI project outcomes. From a business psychologist perspective, this report resonates deeply with my work with management teams. The evolving AI landscape demands leaders who can navigate both the technical and human aspects of this transformation. Developing clear leadership roles and strategic frameworks is not just about technological integration; it’s about fostering a culture that embraces change, promotes learning, and drives collaboration. To develop management teams building resilience, adaptability, and strategic foresight, we can ensure they are not only ready for the AI-driven future but are also capable of leading their organizations to new heights of innovation and success.

Welcome Henrik Perrin to Circle Networks! 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 My name is Henrik Perrin. I live with my wife Anna-Karin and our cat Svante in the middle of the deep forests of Bergslagen, 70 km north of Örebro. You could also say that is more or less right in between Stockholm and Oslo. I have tried to live in the big cities of Sweden, both Stockholm and Gothenburg, but always had the longing back to the closeness of trees, blueberries, the sounds of birds in may and the smell of mushrooms in august. Do not get me wrong, I am a people person. I love to meet old and new friends and to do my job as an educator and coach. But at the end of the day, nature is my haven of tranquility and recovery. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 As I said above, I am an educator and facilitator in stressreduction and "difficult talks". I teach and do workshops for managers and coworkers to find out exactly what stresses you the most at the workplace, and together we search for the most effective way to manage and reduce that stress. We all have very little time, so the solution must be time effective and quite simple to implement into your everyday work. You know, those small changes of habits that gives the biggest possible ripple effect. I also teach and coach managers in how to handle difficult talks and situations. You know, when someone has misbehaved, under performed, starts conflicts or if you have a bully in the group. Maybe you have someone around you all day that really needs a new deodorant? There are ways to say and do things that change these situations from possible conflicts to a feeling of cooperation. The way you talk, the place you choose, the level of assertiveness you feel when you talk etc, all matters and can work for the benefit of all involved. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 C𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 N𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸s I have been in different networks but have always felt more or less uncomfortable with all the people around me that are only interested in themselves first. Everybody wants to tell everybody else about themselves but nobody is asking any real questions. Shallow courtesies and empty phrases are exchanged in a rapid pace over lunch and afterwards I have felt empty and small. (I am 194 cm tall). But in Circle Network I feel like a person, someone who has something to offer to other people, not because of my job, but because I am me. For the first time I long for the networkmeetings every week. In CN, I don´t have meetings with competitors or even colleagues, I meet future friends. And I rather make business with professional friends, than friendly professionals. Hope to see and meet you all.

Use different methods to get prospects and leads. The analysis of the 2024 Survey of Digital Tools in Sweden is well under way. While there are several more weeks to conclude, we can share some of the findings as we progress. One item that is often of value and asked about a lot, what methods to use to get prospects and leads. A distribution is shown in the chart of the responses in the survey. The biggest issue is the lack of diversity. There are a lot of opportunities by doing what others are not. Not can't but won't. More work is needed for the less popular methods but as always the rewards go to those that do the work. In the report we are adding the opportunities for businesses and suppliers. We are finding a bigger role for the suppliers than expected, more on that to follow.

  We are increasingly working to help cities understand and counter false information and create resilience against manipulation of information space, and a new rapport published by the Svenska institutet (SI) yesterday is very interesting, because shows how a global misinformation campaign against a Nordic government agency looks in scope and severity. The report investigates the perception of Sweden after Koran burnings and the campaign against LVU (Swedens social services) last year by medias in the Middle East, North Africa, parts of Asia and Turkey.   Our board member Ranstorp Magnus Ranstorp has been a part of the study and moderated a panel discussion at the publication event with participation of Prime Minister Johan Forssell, Madeleine Sjöstedt Jan Larsson and Rouzbeh Parsi. Important points from the report include: - Media reporting about Sweden has been critical and very extensive. One in three of the respondents have taken part in information about Koran burnings and one in five has taken part in the messages linked to the influence campaign against LVU.   - The events have had a limited impact on Swedish companies in the region.   - A majority of the countries have a positive or neutral attitude towards Sweden, but the perception is more negative than in other countries that SI has studied.   - The individual's experience of Sweden and the world at large, basic values ​​and individual driving forces are decisive for the view of Sweden.   Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/d3wsbBxX   Sofia Bard #misinformation #disinformation #safety #security #prevention #sweden

AI-forskere må balansere akademiske frihet mot dual-use trusselen teknologien representerer. «Governments, academia and the private sector must urgently understand this, not only secure the knowledge but also information about the researchers who who could be blackmailed (with or without AI)”, oppsummerer følgende rapport: https://lnkd.in/dBjX_iEe University World News spurte meg om mine vurderinger rundt Kinas prioriteringer og rolle i “AI-kappløpet, kort oppsummert”: “China is seeking to be frontrunning within all emerging technologies [and] it is obvious that China also seeks to take the lead within AI. “But again, AI depends on enormous amounts of computing power, which depends on high end microchips.

It's not often that I feel totally content– but this podcast with Robert Edvardsson is an exception! Our conversation highlights how the interplay between owners, management, employees, intrapreneurs, and entrepreneurs determines whether we as a society succeed with the AI transition and the necessary transformative changes ahead. And how the intrapreneurs functions as interpreters and bridges between the existing and the new... #innovation #intrapreneurialcapital #intraprenörskap

“Accurate diagnosis is key. Build inner strength to engage teams in meaningful discussions about tough questions.” As we navigate this era of extraordinary change, vital to create the right environment for people to speak openly and honestly. Stating the obvious – it starts with all of us doing the hard inner work so we can show up with an open mind and open heart – ready to hear whatever others have to say – whether we like the sound of it or not … Hence, why I so admire the work of Jaemin Frazer. Frankly, it’s so powerfully foundational it should be a standard part of professional development in all businesses. Jaemin is focused on resolving insecurity which he does with simple, powerful frameworks underpinned by deep compassion for what it means to be human. Really excited about this book launch and conversation with Jaemin Frazer, on Sunday 16 June, in Sydney. Please join us if you’d like the opportunity to understand a completely different way of being in the world – a more honest, deeply healing approach. Booking link: https://lnkd.in/gsZuES5C If you can’t join us, I strongly encourage you to read Jaemin’s books or listen to his podcast. Have a look at his website: The Insecurity Project (jaeminfrazer.com) “Grow strong, straight, together”   #peopleengagement #inclusion #empowerment #teambuilding #leadershipdevelopment #businessstrategy #culturaltransformation #innovation
