Executive Forum & Executive Focus

The participants address real, important business issues in one of the companies (Forum) or focus on a common challenge (Focus).

Executive Forum:

Trusted dialogues with Chairmen of Boards, CEO's and Business Leaders from large international companies.
  • Invitation by recommendation
  • Chatham House rule
  • The oldest Forum is from 1978

Executive Focus:

When common challanges are identified in the Executive Forums we set up an Executive Focus (consortia). Exampels are:
  • Scarcity of People
  • Electrification
  • Deglobalisation - consequenses in a new geopolitical world

Trust as the cornerstone

The level of trust required is built on the participants’ broad experiences, the highest standards of integrity, and a shared will to learn faster together and to find solutions to each others critical business challenges. The key principles to creating this trust are:

​​The good dialogue

In a dialogue, trust is not defined by one single party – we are aware that it is negotiated between all participants. If trust is absent, this will hamper the effectiveness and efficiency of the dialogue and hence the outcome. The effort to safeguard an honest and open dialogue is therefore in the forefront of the facilitation.

Everything stays in the room

A cornerstone for trusting conversation is the mutually experience of being in a “safe space”, where concerns, problems, solutions and creative ideas openly can be shared, without having to later on defend them “outside the room”. Outmost confidentiality is a key value to us. And to all participants.

Advise from equals

In the dialogue, real business situations, challenges and opportunities will be discussed and jointly reflected upon. In the end, recommendations and proposals for actions ahead will be given. However, the final decisions on what to do will always be made by the individual executive in the individual business. The decision-making is not part of the process. It takes place afterwards and “outside the room.”
