Last week I was in Oslo for a workshop within omega-3 for two days. I work with
omega-3 products and two times each year all brand managers within Axellus that
works with omega-3 gather up for a workshop. Then we go through the past year,
plan the upcoming three years and discuss potential innovations. We also share
successful and not so successful cases to eachother so other countries can learn and not do the same mistakes. These days are very useful and the overall meaning with
the meeting is to take advantage that we are big concern with many
organizations that work with the same thing. Then it should be enough that one country
explores one thing and then shares it, so we not need to do the same
things in many countries. Of course, there will be local differences between
the countries but then the countries have to take responsible and decide what
kind of actions that will suit them best.
These
workshops lasted for two days this time (usually it is only one day) and
besides that these days are very useful and interesting; it is also fun to meet
colleagues from other countries. You actually feel that Orkla is a global
player. I meet colleagues from Norway, Finland, Polen, Denmark, Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania.
