Hej, Skandinavien! Your tech landscape is about to get more exciting!   Every region of the world hosts the brightest talents for their chosen technology fields. Scandinavia, in particular, is the home of industry giants for telecommunications, music streaming, automotive, and cleantech. Beyond this, however, is the region’s growing dedication to address social concerns, as exemplified by the Sweden company Northvolt developing green battery solutions for leading automotive actors.   With our commitment to improving lives through technology, it comes as no surprise that Sweden will become our next base of operations.   In our article on INVENSITY’s future expansion to Scandinavia, Technology Consultant Tove Josefsson talks about Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia’s innovative tech culture, as well as the technological expertise we offer for Scandinavian clients. Whether you’re seeking guidance to comply with automotive and cybersecurity standards or interested in adopting an Agile framework for your business processes, creating solutions for your technical challenges is our main priority.   To learn more about our services for Scandinavian clients, visit our website (link in comments) or approach Jannis Picker directly.   #technology #innovation #growth #sweden #scandinavia

In March 2024, Hosted by the #TokyoMetropolitanGovernment, the "International Conference on Advanced Digital Case Studies" was organised. I had the opportunity to be invited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Deloitte to give a lecture; A case from a Digitally advanced nation. The lecture was attended by approximately 100 representatives from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and various municipalities. In my talk, I introduced initiatives to promote the use of #DigitalPost in Denmark and showcased cases from the Nordic region. I believe that the content provided was highly meaningful to participants, including officials from both the metropolitan and municipal levels. In particular, amidst the current trend where both the metropolitan and municipal governments are often pressured to seek short-term results and may become myopic in their digitalization strategies, I emphasized the importance of adopting a long-term perspective in our digitalisation endeavours. While recognizing the differences in socio-cultural backgrounds between Japan and the Nordic countries, I believe that different approaches to digitalization are warranted. Nonetheless, I earnestly hope for the advancement of meaningful digital services, such as high-utilization Danish Digital Post, for both citizens and administrative staff. 海外デジタル先進事例共有会～海外はすごい！で終わらせず実務に活かそう！～アーカイブ配信.

🌐💼 **Understanding the Essence of Digital: Japan's Challenges in the Face of Rapid Change** Today's front page of Nikkei discusses how Japan, with its focus on uncertainty avoidance and achievement orientation of the Hofstede 6D model of national culture, is losing sight of the essence of digitization and struggling to keep up with the pace of change. According to the IMD World Digital Rankings, the United States holds the top spot, followed by the Netherlands and the Nordic countries. Countries with lower uncertainty avoidance and a focus on quality of life are more inclined to embrace new ideas and enjoy the process of trial and error as a team. This trend is also observed in the Baltic countries and Vietnam. In contrast, the motivation for success and the willingness to embrace failure in order to get success quickly is evident in the United States, China, and India. Japan, on the other hand, tends to avoid uncertainty and seeks perfectionism, aiming to deliver flawless products or services to its customers. This approach is contrary to the essence of the digital world. Implementing strategies without understanding one's own cultural values is simply not viable. (As someone who has dedicated over 10 years to studying the Hofstede model, and having served as a PR/ communication professional during my corporate career, it is deeply moving to see the two most influential cultural value dimensions on Japan quoted on the front page of Nikkei. However, I must remember that this is not the crux of the matter. ) [Link to the Nikkei article:](https://lnkd.in/gZrbMkp7) #DigitalTransformation #CulturalValues #ChangeManagement #Japan #DigitalEssence
