Anna Essén, Associate Professor at the House of Innovation, has spent years studying how organizations overlook uncomfortable information. Her latest research examines the infamous Macchiarini case at Karolinska Institutet to explain a phenomenon she calls “sustained ignoring work.”

Staff and faculty at the House of Innovation are working with students to strengthen technology education across the School. A meeting between the SSE Tech Initiative and the student-led SASSE Tech Committee highlights a shared focus: more hands-on learning opportunities for students.

Sports can create opportunities for connection, but integration depends on what happens beyond participation – through everyday interactions and shared responsibility.

On April 24, the House of Innovation and Stockholm Music Week co-hosted “The Future of Music,” bringing together music executives, artists, technology leaders, researchers, and policymakers to examine how AI, shifting platform economics, and new models of rights and ownership are reshaping one of Sweden's most globally significant industries.

Serial entrepreneur, SSE alum, and Practitioner in Residence at the House of Innovation, Stefan Krook, shared the ideas behind his new book, "The Laghum Economy" – an argument for redesigning the global economy around natural limits.

A new podcast episode based on research from the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) makes findings on the cost of decarbonizing steel production accessible to a wider audience. The 11-minute episode builds on an academic article by Mara Bălașa, PhD student at SSE, and Rickard Sandberg, professor at SSE.

As AI becomes an active participant in how organizations gather information and evaluate alternatives, new questions and challenges emerge. How do we involve AI in important decision-making? Should we do so at all? What happens if we let AI replace humans as primary decisionmakers? These questions brought researchers and tech builders together at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 13.

When companies set out to innovate, they often assume the challenge lies in finding the right idea. But the real breakthrough, new research by Professor Roberto Verganti suggests, happens when they learn to see their problems differently. It is through this “reframing” process that real innovation flourishes.

As generative AI becomes embedded in everyday work, many organizations are discovering that widespread access does not automatically translate into measurable performance gains. So, what actually drives AI adoption and performance? That question brought together researchers, business leaders, and practitioners at the Stockholm School of Economics on 5 March.

In a new essay in Svenska Dagbladet, Karl Wennberg, Professor at the Stockholm School of Economics and Scientific Director of the House of Governance and Public Policy (GaPP), reflects on why large infrastructure projects in Western democracies increasingly take decades to complete.
