CSIevent: Collaborative workplaces for the future: March 8 - 9, Copenhagen

Attend this intensive conference and get inspiration and a new network that will make you wiser about how to create an innovative organization by working systematically with sharing knowledge and information. You will learn about how to realize the potential for your workplace in the form of the latest thinking and best practices from across Europe.

Companies create increasing value through cooperation. Workplaces for the future are capable of drawing on the collective intelligence and creativity - not just from employees but also from other organizations, stakeholders and the civil society in general. Are you sourcing knowledge about how to shape the workplace of the future and inspire your employees to develop new ideas together and with an open view for the outside world? Then join this two-day conference, where you will gain both strategic and practical knowledge about how you go about the process.

Hands-on knowledge!
We invite you to join in on assumptions about the future labor market and the innovative organization. We cut through the noise, test media headlines and challenge the messages of the most hyped management gurus.

You get a line-up of the best and most honest cases told directly by the companies that have worked intensively with the subject such as Maersk, ISS, Chr. Hansen, LEO Pharma, IKEA and others. They will all share their experiences on the development of an innovative organization, and you will have ample opportunities to network and share insights with both the speakers and the other participants.

Tangible inspiration
You will gain insight into the most innovative methods and technologies to create and support the collaborative enterprise, whether it's about handling of ideas, design thinking, data analyses or cognitive, adaptive e-learning. And you get to try out various methods in an experimentarium. In short, we invite you to spend 2 days on a tour-de-force into the future of highly innovative companies.
