Green Business Model Innovation focuses on innovation in business models that decrease environmental impact. It includes life-cycle models like green supply chain management and take-back management, as well as functional sales models like selling a product's function as a service. Companies are embracing it due to rising resource prices, regulation, demanding customers, and investors. Case studies show positive financial and environmental results. Policies can promote it through funding, infrastructure development, and certification. Tools are also needed to help all companies work with green business model innovation.
The document summarizes key findings from a study on collaborative innovation. It finds that while companies are committing resources to innovation, many lack the necessary organizational components to implement innovation effectively. Specifically, leadership needs to do more beyond funding, organizations are not structured for collaboration, cultures do not always foster innovation, and a lack of good measurements hinders improvement. The document advocates that companies develop collaboration both internally and externally, create a culture supportive of diverse ideas, and define success metrics to enhance innovation over time.

This document discusses a meeting organized by Nordic Innovation to discuss innovation in the health sector through public procurement and regulation. The meeting aims to provide information and inspiration to participants and facilitate matchmaking between potential project partners. The agenda covers exploration of common needs and ideas, focusing on specific partnership opportunities, and answering participant questions. Nordic Innovation seeks proposals within three themes: establishing a Nordic competence network for health procurement, improving dialogue between procurers and suppliers, and other ideas that help meet stated goals. Definitions of key terms are also provided.
This document discusses how new entrants from developing economies are challenging traditional ways of thinking about global competition. It provides examples of companies like Electrolux, Cycleurope, Mars, Haier, Tata, and others that have adopted strategies like acquiring local brands, centralizing production, focusing on emerging markets, and developing more affordable products to become successful global competitors. The writing warns that established firms must rapidly change their mindsets and strategies or risk losing significant market share to these new competitors, as growth is increasingly occurring in less developed markets with customers seeking more affordable options. Change must happen now for companies rather than waiting for some point in the future.

This document summarizes key points from a presentation on service innovation and design. It discusses how service innovation involves combining existing services in new ways to create value. An idea only becomes an innovation when implemented in practice. The presentation focuses on improving health and welfare systems by better understanding user needs and designing services with the user experience in mind. It argues that users are an underutilized resource and that small changes to improve things like wait times, phone services, and staff listening skills can have meaningful impacts.

This document discusses challenge driven innovation and its implications for policy approaches. It proposes a 3-step conceptual approach to challenge driven innovation: 1) feasibility assessment, 2) experimentation, and 3) roll-out. While innovation policies still focus on science and market-driven approaches, demand-driven and challenge-driven innovation is emerging. Real systemic challenge-driven innovation policies are still lacking. The document examines experiences with challenge-driven innovation in healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship ecosystems. It concludes that challenge-driven innovation has potential for growth and societal issues but remains untapped due to institutional barriers.

This document outlines the top 10 business sustainability challenges for 2012 as identified by a council of sustainability executives from leading Canadian organizations.
1) How can businesses redefine the traditional business case to include sustainability, as sustainability initiatives may have longer payback periods than typically expected, making them appear less attractive.
2) How can sustainability drive innovation (and vice-versa) within companies? While innovation and sustainability are often linked, more understanding is needed on how to create a virtuous cycle between them.
3) The Network for Business Sustainability will systematically review the challenges of how sustainability can drive innovation, and how businesses can mobilize citizens to take more sustainable actions.

The Role of Leading vs. Lagging Indicators in Sustainability PlanningSustainable Brands
Leading indicators are forward-looking metrics that predict future performance, while lagging indicators reflect past outcomes. There has been a shift in sustainability planning from solely using lagging indicators to also incorporating leading indicators. Leading indicators can drive innovation, efficiency gains, and new market opportunities when integrated into corporate strategies. While lagging indicators are still important for compliance purposes, leading indicators are better for goal-setting, continuous improvement, and measuring return on investment from sustainability initiatives.

Most of the efforts aimed at improving corporate reputation today are focused on the impact that reputation has on business, gauging this impact and obtaining the information necessary for defining reputational strategy and placing intangibles in the centre of the overall business strategy, overcoming divisional barriers.
Currently, brand experiences are related to different stakeholders: customers, employees, investors, shareholders, etc. Thus, it is useful to develop a detailed segmentation of these groups to be able to capture the demands of each one and effectively answer their needs.
Another important aspect of reputation management in companies that are developing reputational strategies and corporate intangibles management is the need to develop an internal culture based on reputation, considering the directions and the obstacles for building reputation.
Iberdrola, for example, defines five axes of its process: product, culture, segmentation, experience and feedback. It also takes into account non-financial indicators, which place highlight those aspects that have to do with the company’s behaviour towards its stakeholders and how they response to it.
Vestas, a company who works in the power generating sector, organized its business strategy around a clear goal: becoming the world’s most recognized company by contribution to the positive environmental change achieved though intelligent use of the wind energy.
Vestas defines four key stakeholders, whose cooperation is fundamental for creation of shared value, strengthening the company’s competitive position and achieving better business results.
.
After passing the initial stages of its journey (preliminary analysis aiming to define the strategy), reputation arrived to the next stage, characterized by measurement and showing its true impact on the business.
Kasper Nielsen from Reputation Institute believes that there are several features that characterize best companies in the area of reputation management and that determine the key challenges that companies will face in the near future. Those are classified in four groups: business logic, intelligence and analysis, management and control and implementation.
Companies willing to make progress in the reputation journey need to relate to their stakeholders and be aware of their reputation at every point of their strategic decision-making process.
This document was prepared by Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership and among other sources contains references to the statements made by Carlos Martínez Lozoya, Iberdrola’s Director for Corporate Reputation, Morten Albaek, Vestas Global Vice President for Marketing, Communication and Corporate Relations and Kasper Nielsen, Partner and Director of Reputation Institute Denmark, made during the 17th International Conference on Corporate Reputation, Identity and Brand Competitiveness: The Reputation Journey, organized by Reputation Institute in

Jonas Törnblom, Director Marketing and Communication, Envac GroupNordic Innovation
Envac AB aims to contribute to better urban environments through innovative waste collection systems. Nordic countries can help rapidly urbanizing cities achieve UN sustainability goals through sharing best practices in areas like district heating and renewable energy. Key differences in Nordic governance include independent city finances, flat structures, solution-orientation, and trust between public and private sectors. Examples from Stockholm, like district energy networks using sewage and renewable sources, have inspired many but created little export. To increase exports of Nordic sustainable solutions requires intensified public-private cooperation at home and abroad, better documentation of best practices, communicating solutions in multiple languages, and educating foreign decision makers on the Nordic model.

This document describes a proposed sustainable housing development called NBCC-Sege Park. It includes 10 principles for Nordic built developments focusing on quality of life, sustainability, nature integration, zero emissions, aesthetics, flexibility, local adaptation, collaboration, scalability, and social/environmental benefits. The development would include apartment types, communal spaces, and centers for farming, water, and bikes to support sustainable lifestyles through shared resources and engagement. Modular construction allows for variation and adaptation over time.
The document discusses the use of the "Kid's Tracks" method for involving children and youth in urban planning processes. Kid's Tracks is a mapping exercise where children document how they use their neighborhoods. Their results identify important areas, access issues, and community values. Three municipalities that used Kid's Tracks are highlighted: Ski identified a need for more public spaces in the city center; Giske found poor access to the shoreline and nature; and Bodø recognized non-active areas. Lessons learned are that Kid's Tracks is only a participation tool, it creates a new focus on social values, and involving children makes participation more fun.
This document summarizes Oslo's plans to become a zero emission city by 2050 through expanding green mobility options. Some key points:
- By 2020, Oslo aims to reduce direct CO2 emissions by 50% from 1990 levels, and by 2050 achieve nearly zero (95% reduction) through electric vehicles, public transport, walking and cycling.
- Currently, transportation accounts for 63% of Oslo's CO2 emissions. New initiatives include 8 new bicycle routes by 2021 and improving conditions for cycling.
- Plans also promote car-free areas in the city centre through temporary activations to encourage public life without private vehicles.
- Other strategies include expanding electric vehicle infrastructure and "seamless" public transport connections
