Together with my colleague Axel Muhr , we have worked on defining and measuring Digital Product Adoption in IKEA (INGKA). We are so happy to have this included in our common ways of working. In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are increasingly recognizing the pivotal role of digital product adoption in realizing business value. At the heart of the matter lies a fundamental question posed by many organizations: how to ensure that the digital products meticulously crafted and deployed actually contribute to business success. A stunning digital product, if left unused, remains an unrealized asset and fails to generate value. In INGKA Digital we started to look at adoption to ensure the effective utilization of digital products. Digital adoption does not translate into the number of users or views but into the number of completed actions done in the tool in a specific period. The metric for adoption should align with the unique capabilities of each digital product. The...

As a second work from home desk or bedroom vanity table I have managed put up together a very cheap solution, hacking some IKEA furniture.  This is something temporary as during the pandemic both me and my partner work from home. So, my ambition was to do this with a minimum of investment and also use the furniture piece for it's original purpose once this pandemic is over.  I needed a desk that has maximum 50cm depth and maximum 80cm width.  Of course, IKEA has readymade desks that fit my requirements. One option would have been this desk below, but it had a problem for me.  The tall and long legs people will understand me. This desk has the height 75cm but because of the drawer the available height under the desk for legs is 65cm. Of course, I could have skipped to install the drawer but the esthetic of the desk without the drawer was horrible (because of the hidden cables solution that this desk has in the back). Then I came up w...

During this pandemic the office moved at home. And I'm so grateful to gave a job where location is not crucial and an employeer that encourages the work from home.  This has become the year of home office. I always had my home office even before the pandemics as I was usualy working a day a week from home and the desk is also my craft table for sewing and other crafty projects. But these super afordable gadgets from IKEA really pimped it and made it more ergonomic for me: 1. Height adjustable desk. The legs of this desk allow me to adjust the height without breaking the wallet. 2. Height adjustable chair.  3. Laptop support tables.  The combination of these accessories is perfect for me as I can alternate sitting and standing during the day without adjusting the height of the desk but by just adding the extras.  I can use the accessories wherever I want in the house.  Some other products ser...

Båstad, presents Norrviken Gardens, a living garden museum that was created in the 1900s by Rudolf Abelin. The gardens were started as an experimental garden inspired by various countries and epochs and as a home for his family.  The main building in the middle of the park is Villa Abelin and nowadays houses the restaurant, shop and different conference rooms.  Quite magical is the big greenhouse, Viktoriahuset that in below photos was staged for a wedding ceremony.  Another gem is the beehives area where this central building has a mesmerisin interior with the peacock feathers on the ceiling lamp. The entire vibe of the gardens is quite romantic and at every corner you discover beauty. Practical information: You can bring your own food and enjoy a nice picnic in the garden. Tot...
