References How can CBN contribute to Your personal development and every day working life? We can of course give you the answer to that, but the very best source for the answer would be current CBN participants. "Thanks to my participation in CBN, I'm expanding my horizons and building a great network, but above all, I gain new inspiration from like-minded colleagues in similar situations. My participation in CBN has provided me with new thoughts and ideas which allow me to reflect afterwards. What CBN does better than other networks is to provide consistent professional execution and a really good and well composed group." Lena Eliasson, HR-director at ABB AB ”I chose CBN because it’s a professional network where I can gain new knowledge via subject-oriented meetings. At the same time, there is also an opportunity to discuss issues with other managers in small groups. I especially appreciate the exchange of views with other managers because this can be difficult to incorporate in my day-to-day work.” Erik Aller, CEO at Carl Allers Etablissement "There's no pat answer but, by illuminating and discussing problems and issues in the CBN group, you can make better decisions. It feels good to have it confirmed that others have the same troubles and challenges. You’re not alone!" Lennart Olsson, CEO at Casco Adhesives AB "I always look forward to the meetings with the network at CBN, since I have had an opportunity to participate in the choice of themes, etc. Also, it's always interesting and instructive to meet colleagues with similar responsibilities and roles. Despite the fact that I've been in the HR area for quite a long time, there are a lot of lessons and experiences which are both new and challenging, something there's always time for at our meetings. Many of the people in the network share materials and ideas which I can use. It feels good to be able to both give and take...." Lisskulla Lindström, HR director at The City of Gothenburg "CBN gives me quite a lot and I’m also developing as a person." Anna Holmgren, CFO at Consilium AB ”I take part in CBN because it’s networking at the highest level – I meet exciting people in a different way – and this gives me inspiration which I can use in my day-to-day work in my company.” Jørgen Mads Clausen, CEO at Danfoss "Often, during CBN meetings, I've gained ideas on how I myself can tackle certain problems which have been discussed. Among other things, I’ve gained a lot of inspiration about organisational issues. The most important thing has been to be able to focus for a few hours on interesting questions together with other people with similar problems and thoughts and then openly share them and the experiences collected." Jesper Kärrbrink, CEO at Eniro AB ”I take part in CBN because it is relevant to me – otherwise I wouldn’t spend my working time on it. This isn’t a social club – it’s a place to obtain ideas and input from other people with whom one can compare oneself professionally.” Jørgen Lindegaard, CEO at ISS "The colleagues in the HR group I meet at CBN's network meetings are all experienced and highly qualified. One of the strengths of CBN, as compared with other network companies I've encountered, is the effort they invest in putting together groups where the needs and issues are similar. It never feels "unnecessary". Instead, I always bring back some current gems in my briefcase." Lotta Söderström, HR-director at Korsnäs AB ”I prioritise my participation in CBN, since I’m in a structured arrangement here together with equals who have the same strategic challenges as I do, although with a different angle. You can’t do the same as the others, but you can be inspired and it’s always good to hear how others view a problem – and everything takes place in confidential dialogues in small groups.” Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO at LEGO ”Things are very focused – when we meet for CBN meetings, we go ’straight to the point’ and we get closer to each other than I experience in other places. It’s remarkable how similar our individual work is.” Steen Riisgaard, CEO at Novozymes ”Participation in CBN gives me a possibility to receive new ideas within current areas and at same time extend my network with other people in similar situations. CBN’s excellent ability to high-light relevant topics and find interesting Keynote Speakers makes the meetings time effective.” Jörgen Zahlin, CEO, OEM International AB "For me, it's been very enriching to be able to bounce ideas and experiences with colleagues from various industry sectors. By participating in the CBN meetings, I've been able to build up a network which I can consult when questions arise where I lack knowledge. I also have to say that CBN has succeeded in maintaining a very high standard regarding its lecturers and has choosen subjects fitting to my needs." Jonte Norrman, HR director at Papyrus AB "Meeting regularly on a current and interesting theme is a great concept. Since we're all in corporate management, the theme often spans areas which don’t only involve traditional HR questions, something that's been very important for me. A few examples of such areas are "employee branding", "performance culture " and "integration of acquired businesses". Susanne Jacobsson, HR director at Perstorp AB "Participation in CBN provides a great opportunity to check my own ideas and thoughts in a high-level network. It also provides the opportunity to gain new perspectives in discussions surrounding working methods and projects. Many current subject areas in HR are aired and this gives me inspiration and an opportunity to reflect." Tommy Sangré, HR-director at Saab Bofors Dynamics AB "CBN has a great structure which takes into consideration the fact that we all have a lot to do and time is a limited commodity. Participation in CBN provides the maximum use of time by focusing on various themes for each group meeting." Pertti Heina, CEO at Storel AB "CBN creates a possibility for a great network of mixed companies with similar marketing/production conditions." Sam Weihagen, CEO at Thomas Cook Northern Europe AB ”In CBN, we contribute to each other. What’s good is that we come from different industries and can share each others’ worries and pains. We learn an incredible amount from each other – and we always go to the meetings!” Stine Bosse, CEO at TrygVesta "Since all of CBN's meetings are confidential, everyone dares to open up and I have gotten a very open and honest picture of how companies, in other industries, but with similar challenges, handle their burning issues." Henrik Norlin, CFO at TUI Nordic/Fritidsresegruppen |
