This was my vehicle for odd gigs over the years. Early gigs were websites (LAMP) and a little bit of SEO. I ran a column in a magazine (innovationmanagement.se) for a while. I ran the lectures, exercises and graded assignments for the course module "Quantitative research" in the course "Research design and methods" (2015-2020) (Graduate level) at Chalmers university of technology for many years. And I ran the course "Economics of Innovation" (2014) (Graduate level) one year.

Primarily, I write a regular column on the latest trends in the blogosphere pertaining to innovation management. Basically I attempt to collect the latest and best links to the worlds blogposts about innovation metrics, business model innovation, creativity, disruptive innovations, how to sell an innovative idea internally and other innovation related activities.

The deliverable was a business plan outlining how to utilize a - at the time unique - city wide ZigBee-network in order to maximize revenue and profit. I was looking for large, multi-million dollar turn-over business opportunities. These were generated, evaluated and developed through numerous creative meetings with all parts of Göteborg Energi and CBI, as well as with many potential customer organisations.
