Network Leadership for a Sustainable FutureRobin Teigland
Updated presentation of my research into networked leadership for a sustainable future - including our work with Peniche Ocean Watch (www.penicheoceanwatch.com)
This document discusses network leadership in an uncertain world. It begins by outlining myths about networks and emphasizes that networks can be strategically developed. It then discusses exploring networks within organizations and avoiding "echo chambers". The document presents several scenarios for the future, including high and low technology convergence. It emphasizes the need for leaders to practice scenario thinking, challenge assumptions, experiment, and ensure access to diverse resources through networks. The overall message is that network leadership requires building relationships across networks, looking for signals from the periphery, and co-creating in an environment of uncertainty.
Teigland Exploring Future Value Creation for a Sustainable WorldRobin Teigland
This document discusses building an innovation ecosystem around ocean sustainability in Peniche, Portugal. It proposes creating an Ocean Tech Hub to empower coastal communities and be a flagship for ocean innovation and circular economy. The hub would leverage emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and blockchain to pursue opportunities in recycling ocean waste, recovering ocean litter, and sustainable entrepreneurship. It outlines initial partnerships and pilot projects, including using drones to map ocean litter and extend an existing fishing data service to collect plastic waste. The goal is to increase competitiveness of small fishing businesses while greening operations and benefitting the local ecosystem through access to new markets, capabilities, and serendipitous innovation through collaboration.

This document summarizes a presentation on strategic insights for boards. It discusses trends in technology, people, and finance that are disrupting businesses. It notes that while digital disruption has impacted over half of Fortune 500 companies, leadership is still lagging behind. The presentation recommends that boards practice continuous learning, collaborate with startups and academics, and use scenario planning to explore uncertain futures. It provides an example of four scenarios for the year 2035 under different assumptions about technology convergence and geopolitical stability. The presentation emphasizes that boards must look beyond the near-term and their existing networks to gain insights about potential futures.

Presenters discussed tools for boards to gain insights, such as collaborating with startups and academics, and using networks and digital tools. Four scenarios for 2035 were presented to illustrate how boards can think about different potential futures. The discussion emphasized that boards need to avoid insular networks and practice scenario thinking to consider uncertainties.
Keynote Chalmers Transportation in Age of DigitalizationRobin Teigland
keynote speech at Chalmers Conference in Sept 2019, https://www.chalmers.se/en/areas-of-advance/Transport/calendar/initiative-seminar-2019/Pages/default.aspx
This document discusses the future of higher education in an era of disruption. It explores four scenarios for higher education in 2030: 1) governments champion a few mega-universities, 2) universities collaborate in networks offering online courses, 3) universities become financially independent and collaborate with industry, and 4) a range of private online providers capture the market offering micro-certificates. The document advocates developing open online courses in ocean data and innovation to encourage global collaboration for a sustainable future.
The document discusses the potential impacts of emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and 3D printing on business models and the economy. It envisions a future with a decentralized "gig economy" where online learning and sharing rather than ownership are common. New platforms and business models like Uber and Airbnb that leverage these technologies have seen explosive growth compared to traditional firms. The future may see more localized economies and self-sufficient communities powered by distributed technologies like microgrids and circular supply chains utilizing recycled materials. Boundary spanners who build diverse networks and challenge assumptions will be key to success in this changing environment.
The document summarizes an initiative called Ocean Data Factory (ODF) which aims to establish Sweden as a leader in sustainable ocean innovation through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and ocean data. ODF will create an open data platform and infrastructure to make ocean data and tools accessible to researchers, industry, and the public. It introduces the coordinators and partners involved in ODF and outlines the need for such an initiative given increasing interest in the ocean economy and the large amounts of unexplored ocean data.

1. My Travels to Istanbul

Stanford Crash Course in Creativity
Assignment 2
October 30, 2012
2. Assignment 2
Are You Paying Attention?
1. Go to at least 6 different stores. They can be at the same
shopping center or different locations. Spend at least 15
minutes in each store making OBSERVATIONS using the lab
guide for reference. Take photos to capture your
observations.
2. Create a presentation that captures your INSIGHTS and
HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES. What types of things had you
missed before? What were your biggest surprises? Are there
opportunities hidden in plain sight?
https://venture-lab.org/creativity/index
3. A day as a traveler
For my assignment, I spent a day exploring
stores in an upscale neighborhood in
Istanbul, Turkey and comparing these to the
stores in an equivalent area in my hometown of
Stockholm, Sweden and in other cities such as
San Francisco, USA.
I found several opportunities, but here I will only
present one – for neighborhood grocery stores.
5. Going to the local grocery is a chore.
• The atmosphere is like a warehouse.
– The stores are overcrowded with produce crammed onto non-descript shelves.
– The floor plan is very cramped and makes you want to move through it as quickly as
possible.
– The stores are very generic in that you cannot tell one from the other.
• The product offering is very commoditized.
– All the aisles look the same in terms of produce.
– The products are primarily Turkish with few international products other than those
by US FMCG companies, e.g., Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble.
– The fresh produce is very limited and the deli only offers what you could buy from
the shelves, except that you could order a specified amount.
• Customer service is limited.
– In some stores, the customers are well-known by the storekeeper and receive
friendly service.

11. What do the locals say?
In our local stores, the aisles are so
narrow – it is almost like a fight to get
through them.
One thing that I miss, and a lot of others who
have lived abroad and return to Turkey, is an
international selection of products that I can
just get at a nearby store.
When I come home tired from
work, I would like to have good
quality pre-made food that is not
this crappy frozen stuff.
