For many organizations, Nordic Business Forum is much more than just a livestream. With the Group Livestream solution, companies and organizations can create their own local event experience around the Nordic Business Forum keynotes and discussions. We love how their events bring people together in one location to learn, network, and discuss ideas in their own context. Some organize internal team learning days at the office. Others invite customers, partners, and potential clients to create meaningful conversations and strengthen relationships. Many also complement the livestream with their own keynote speakers, moderated discussions, workshops, or networking sessions. One organization that turned the NBF livestream into a successful local event was Leader Tunturi-Lappi. Through their “Arctic Wisdom” project, they organized a two-day

Teams today are constantly connected. Messages arrive instantly, meetings fill calendars, and collaboration tools keep work moving across offices, cities, and time zones. Yet many organizations are noticing that despite the constant communication, team alignment feels harder than ever. Projects move forward while misunderstandings accumulate beneath the surface. Meetings multiply, yet clarity decreases. Employees remain continuously reachable, while attention becomes increasingly fragmented. Work has become more flexible, but collaboration often feels slower, heavier, and more cognitively demanding. For years, conversations around hybrid work focused primarily on productivity. Could people work effectively from home? Would flexibility improve performance? Was remote work helping or hurting results? But it might be that the deeper challenge is more about coordination than productivity. Hybrid Work

Nordic Business Forum 2026 may be sold out in Helsinki, but thousands of professionals around the world will still join the experience through our livestream solutions. One of the most popular options for organizations is the Remote Group Livestream that allows companies to embed the Nordic Business Forum video player directly to their own internal websites. This makes world-class learning accessible to teams anywhere in the world. With the Remote Group Livestream, teams can watch keynote sessions live or on demand, gather locally for viewing events, and turn inspiration into meaningful discussions across countries, offices, and time zones. In this blog, we highlight how five organizations — Wärtsilä, Huhtamaki, Orion Pharma, Telia, and SEB — have utilized the solution to

Yesterday’s Executive Summit in Tallinn brought together a group of CEOs to explore a crucial question: how can Europe and its companies remain competitive in this uncertain and constantly changing world? We heard a keynote by the Founder of the IMD World Competitiveness Centre, Stéphane Garelli and also a presentation by the Deputy Director-General at the European Commission (DG GROW), Maive Rute. Their remarks were followed by an executive dialogue joined by Founder and CEO of Sunly, Priit Lepasepp, and moderated by our co-founder and Business Forum Group CEO Hans-Peter Siefen. The conversation examined competitiveness from multiple perspectives — from European industrial policy and global economic dynamics to leadership, energy, and strategic decision-making. One key issue came up several times

Yesterday’s Executive Summit in Helsinki brought together a group of CEOs executives around one of the defining leadership questions of our time: how can organizations remain competitive in a world shaped by uncertainty, technological acceleration, and geopolitical fragmentation? During the event we enjoyed keynote presentations by Stéphane Garelli, Founder of the IMD World Competitiveness Centre, and Mårten Mickos, serial CEO, followed by an executive dialogue joined by Sanna Suvanto-Harsaae, experienced COB, and moderated by our co-founder Hans-Peter Siefen. Throughout the evening, one insight came up repeatedly: the future will not belong to the organizations that simply try to preserve the old model a little longer. It will belong to those capable of adapting quickly, focusing clearly, and leading courageously. Stéphane

AI has moved fast from experimentation to implementation. But many organizations are still struggling with a more fundamental question: are these tools actually making companies more innovative, or simply faster at doing the same work? That question shaped a webinar we hosted together with Oslo Business Forum, featuring Shawn Kanungo, innovation strategist and bestselling author, alongside Shane McArdle, CEO and President of Kongsberg Digital. Together, they explored the risks leaders face when AI adoption is driven by speed alone, and why the future will belong to organizations that combine technology with human creativity, judgment, and courage. Shane McArdle: You Can’t Put Intelligence on Top of Chaos Shane McArdle opened the webinar with a practical perspective from industries where mistakes carry

We live in a culture obsessed with optimization. Better morning routines, more productivity hacks, smarter wearables, endless supplements, and perfectly planned calendars. But what if high performance is not about adding more, but about removing what drains us? In this podcast episode, host Théotime sits down with human performance expert James Hewitt to explore how leaders and teams can perform sustainably under pressure. Drawing from his work with Formula One teams, executives, and high-performing organizations, James explains why capacity, control, and coordination matter more than perfection.
