Although the
surroundings of our Campus in Vasa is quite rural, we have the leading energy cluster
in the Nordic countries bordering to the campus area (More than 140 businesses –
11,000 number of employees). I took the picture driving through on Tuesday.
We (me and
my colleagues) established the Leadershipforum (Ledarskapsforum in Swedish) some
years ago, and the forum has grown very popular recently. This year we arrange a
series of 15 days were we focus on different themes within Leadership. The
unique thing this year is that 4 of these days are arranged on site at key
companies in the area.
The Leadershipforum
visited Wärtsilä on Tuesday. The theme was HR and wellbeing as part of a
companys strategy. In the morning we listened to the Wärtsila way of handling
this theme. After lunch we had the well-known professor Guy Ahonen
participating, and we learned a lot from his research. His visit to Vasa hit
the headlines in our local newspaper Vasabladet – link below.
To conclude
– my students are all working fulltime, and I`m not meeting them face to face very
often. More about their studies and their learning process to come.
