Title: Proximity Strategies for Stakeholder Engagement in Business Models for Sustainability

Engaging stakeholders effectively is a cornerstone of sustainable business models, yet many organisations struggle to put it into practice. This seminar explores how proximity—the closeness in identity, function, production, or community—can serve as a powerful lever for stakeholder engagement. Drawing on multiple case studies, Cinzia Battistella and her co-authors propose a conceptual framework that combines five proximity dimensions and three strategic approaches (adaptation, association, and identity) to better integrate stakeholder engagement into business models for sustainability. The findings offer both conceptual clarity and practical insights for academics and practitioners seeking to bridge sustainability and collaboration in meaningful ways.

Healthcare improvement continues to face challenges in achieving sustainable change, despite decades of effort. Healthcare improvement often fails to account for the complex, adaptive and relational nature of healthcare systems, where outcomes depend on how people interact, make sense of change and co-produce solutions. Furthermore, improvement science has expanded rapidly. It draws on diverse traditions, such as implementation science, organizational learning, systems thinking, complexity science and co-production. There is a wide range of theories, models and frameworks that describe different facets of healthcare. This diversity enriches the field, but it also creates fragmentation and makes it difficult to integrate insights across levels and disciplines.

To strengthen both scholarship and practice, there is a need to clarify how theoretical perspectives can better reflect in achieving sustainable change. In a recent exploration of improvement science an invitation was made “to refine and advance mapping of the improvement landscape by identifying gaps and increasing contributions from diverse perspectives” (Reed et al., 2025: 1). Our respond is a review and analysis to support the continued development of improvement science by linking theoretical concepts more explicitly to studies of the realities of healthcare and by offering a clearer foundation for education, leadership and practice.

This is the scope of our contribution to Co-Lab, including reflections regarding the results from a Q 3.0 perspective.

Being able to act quickly in an emergency can be the difference between life and death. Every year, thousands of people suffer sudden cardiac arrest, and the time it takes to respond is crucial for survival. That’s why it is important that we, as colleagues at the university, have the right knowledge to step in if something happens to a coworker, student, or visitor.

By participating in the CPR training, you will gain practical skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and learn how to manage life-threatening bleeding using pressure bandages. The training is simple to complete but can make an enormous difference when every second counts.

We encourage everyone to sign up for the training to create a safer workplace where we can support each other if an accident occurs. Being prepared means we take responsibility – both for each other and for our shared environment.

Your knowledge can save lives. Sign up today and become a vital link in the chain of survival!

Cancerfonden welcomes you to an inspiration and knowledge session! Are you a researcher curious about how you can fund your research through Cancerfonden?
Meet representatives from Cancerfonden who will explain which grants you can apply for, what we look for in successful applications, and which common pitfalls to avoid.

Many researchers at the School of Health and Welfare could apply for Cancerfonden's grants – but don’t, often because they believe their research must be exclusively about cancer. That’s not the case! The organization funds a wide range of projects that in various ways contribute to preventing cancer, understanding how it develops, or improving the lives of those affected.

Representatives will share concrete tips, examples, and insights – and after the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
