Nordic Nine

The Nordic Nine is a set of nine transformative capabilities that balance the advancement of the individual with responsibilities that stretch beyond business and into society. These capabilities are borne out of multiple perspectives that are brought together at CBS while clearly distinguishing CBS from many other business schools in the world.

The purpose of the Nordic Nine initiative is that all CBS graduates possess the transformative capabilities described in the Nordic Nine framework, which is the key part of CBS’ strategy. The goal is that all graduates from CBS will have engaged in research-based learning processes that develop the Nordic Nine capabilities, building on the knowledge, skills and values articulated in the framework, which are essential for realising CBS’ ambition to lead the necessary transformations in business and society.

The revised competency profiles of all study programmes came into force in 2022.

Reflections

‘Reflections’ is a toolkit designed to support the CBS teaching community in designing activities that help develop our students’ ability to solve problems with a positive future in mind. Each card represents one of our Nordic Nine transformative capabilities and serves as a guide to developing teaching and learning activities that are meaningfully aligned with NN thinking.
