Conference on Leadership for Nordic Healthcare

Digitalization, new societal formations, emerging alternative economic developments and demographic shifts are all trends that help us understand the rapid shift in today’s Nordic healthcare. Nordic healthcare is under a major transformation and joint efforts are vital in order to develop a healthcare that withholds a word class position. This makes the timing right to drive awareness and circular initiatives across the Nordic healthcare.

This open to all online conference invites us all to enhance change required for a sustainable Nordic healthcare, e.g. initiating collaborations and new solutions cross work-units and cross boundaries.

New way of working; Hybrid work a teambuilding and leadership challenge

When half of a team works remotely, it can be challenging to create a sense of community. How should teams feel a sense of 'we' when they meet less and less often and what can a leader do to improve this?

Digital transformation drives up-skilling for personnel

Here the focus lies on broaden our understanding for ethical conducts, commitments, to transparency, and accountability for digital transformation in the Nordic healthcare. New competencies are needed but which are they? This workshop will include suggestions and discussions on lifelong learning processes and needs, identifying available opportunities, and the ability to overcome obstacles in order to prepare workforce for an agil and resilient work.

Need for new work wellbeing strategies

Here you are invited to design, develop and plan for delivering high qualitative healthcare in the Nordic setting that is sustainable and that promotes wellbeing at work.

Future trend that will shift leadership focus totally

The logic of leadership needs to change as the majority now work in a different way than before. But what kind of leadership will bring a sense of community and meaning to work in the post-pandemic reality?

The need for new and different physical work environment

Many employees often work from home and visit their offices continuously but not constantly. The physical building will take on a new importance in the future. What can a building support and what should it look like for maximum well-being and high productivity.

Need for changing our understanding of work intensity and the work-life balance

Research shows that during the pandemic, productivity has gone up. At the same time, studies say more people are feeling fatigue and stress more often. It is increasingly difficult to balance well-being and productivity; how can a leader take this into account in their leadership?
