Purpose and goal
The Swedish Growth Barometer ishas existed since 1997 with the aim to be a forum where companies and decision-makers discuss global growth conditions, innovations and emergent trends, and how they in turn affect strategies and investments. Core activities are to create meetings, seminars, and conduct thematic analysis. Analysis is prepared by a faculty and / or experts, and then discussed in meetings and public seminars. During the project period, activity targets have been reached, communication have increased and become more data driven, and the project has reached more people.
Expected results and effects
The project aims to increase the understanding of growth conditions by performing analysis and creating an arena for discussion. By bringing together companies, decision-makers and the general public with different points of view and perspectives, knowledge is deepened and the basis for a common understanding of the challenges of our time is established. The expected effects are that better informed decision-makers make better decisions, and have a higher strategic readiness for change. By reaching more people than previously, the results have been satisfactory.
Planned approach and implementation
The core activities of the project are to prepare analysis, conduct different types of meetings and seminars, and communicate the analysis and the discussion that arises. During the project period, the target group has been expanded, the work with communication has been systematized and strengthened considerably. Planned meetings have been carried out but during the Covid-19 pandemic in digital formats. Digital meetings can replace open seminars, but it has been a challenge to recreate the dialogue that exists in targeted meetings in small groups.
