1/2015:Trust me I’m Not a Doctor – Health is changing with new technology

Medlemsrapport 1/2015 - Trust me I’m Not a Doctor – health is changing with new technology
Medicine and treatment is becoming more expensive. Even in developed countries, the healthcare systems must prioritize who and what will be treated and how, but the world will soon witness the Gutenberg process of the healthcare system: Genetics and information technology that moves the focus from system to individual and gives the masses opportunities previously reserved for the elite of society.We examine two aspects of future health: opportunities and challenges in using new technology and the inspiration that can be found in how developing countries organize their health systems.

White book ISS 2020 Vision: Future of Public Sector Outsourcing

white book ISS 2020 Vision: Future of Public Sector Outsourcing
Created in close collaboration with ISS, the new white book ISS 2020 Vision: Future of Public Sector Outsourcing addresses how the public sector can maintain a high level of welfare services to an aging population with more individual demands – at lower costs.
The future challenges of the public sector will be related to asset management and optimization of the infrastructure and services within that entity. There are more things today that can be considered Facility Management than ever before, offering unparalleled opportunities for establishing new collaborative models. Tomorrows Facility Management solutions will no longer be limited to servicing buildings and infrastructure. Rather, Facility Management will be required to play an increasingly important and integral role in enabling the free flow of information, people, and objects, while creating a high quality experience for citizens.

New initiative: "BIG FUTURE 2025 – business with sustainable growth"

SydEnergi, headed by Niels Duedahl, has initiated in collaboration with Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, a think tank with the name “BIG FUTURE 2025 – business with sustainable growth. The initiative, consisting of a vision study and an independent Advisory Board, will focus on how companies strategically and tactically prepare as best they can for a future where economic growth e.g. needs to walk hand in hand with sustainability in climate and resources. Several weighty business profiles have accepted becoming part of the initiative, including Ditlev Engel, who will head the Advisory Board.
BIG FUTURE is an independent vision study that will be facilitated by Senior Futurist Carsten Beck from the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, and he points out: “No matter what we do, there are a range of megatrends and tendencies that the Danish business community needs to consider. However, the potential is vast, and hence growth will follow the ones who most rapidly are able to adapt their companies to the new market opportunities.
The BIG FUTURE study, which will run the next 12 months, consists of workshops, interviews, a growth seminar and conference, and advisory board meetings. The study will culminate in a comprehensive report with a management presentation that can be used strategically and inspire more Danish companies to create sustainable growth.



New report: Harnessing European Labour Mobility

The free movement of workers, while being one of the EU’s key success stories, remains the topic of heated debates. The project Harnessing European Labour Mobility aims to re-orientate the debate about free movement to the essential question: What can the European Union and individual Member States do in order to facilitate intra-EU labour mobility and maximize its potential for growth and employment?
The Institute has among other things contributed with workshop facilitation and scenario analysis for the project.
