The Digital Edge (26): Frederik Östbye er outsideren der driver den digitale innovation hos Grundfos

I 2017 blev svenske Frederik Östbye hentet ind som outsideren, der skulle hjælpe Grundfos med at eksekvere på den digitale transformation.I dag er han group vice president og chef for FutureLab, Grundfos´s interne inkubator for ny digital forretning.Med omkring 40 ansatte er FutureLab og Frederik Östbyes opgave at bære de levedygtige ideer videre - enten som en del af Grundfos´s eksisterende forretning eller som selvstændige enheder.Det er en stor opgave. For de fleste store firmaer kæmper med at integrere nye opfindelser i deres store maskine. Og ifølge Frederik Östbye fejler op imod 95 procent af de fleste virksomheders egne garager og innovationsenheder.Men hvad gør man så hvis ens strategiske opgave er, at lancere den digitale udgave af de innovative industri game changers, som Grundfos har stået bag flere gang i firmaets mangeårige historie?Det kan du høre Frederik Östbyes bud på i den nyeste episode af podcasten The Digital Edge.

Om Podcasten

The adoption and usage of technology are going through a radical transformation. Just a decade ago investment in the right technology was often enough to gain that crucial competitive edge. But the increasingly tough competition, the accelerating technological development, and the mounting complexity now demand new ways of choosing, adopting, and handling technology in the enterprise. The possibilities - and the challenges - are the main theme of The Digital Edge, a podcast created by Computerworld Denmark & SAP focusing on leadership, strategy, and business in the accelerating digital age. Hosting the podcast is Computerworld's editor-in-chief Lars Jacobsen, and Jesper Schleimann Digital Transformation Officer Northern Europe at SAP. Through a series of 35 to 40-minute interviews with key digital decision makes, Lars Jacobsen and Jesper Schleimann will explore the difficulties, the challenges and the massive rewards that the accelerating digital age brings.
