Business executives council<br />
the business executives Council's mission is to make sure <strong>IVA</strong> has a foothold in today's business community,<br />
strengthen <strong>IVA</strong>'s competency in business issues and provide long-term financial support for <strong>IVA</strong>. The Business<br />
Executives Council (BEC) currently has around 200 member companies from both manufacturing industry and<br />
the service sector.<br />
The service content in Swedish industry is increasing. Today the reality for service companies is about being<br />
extremely receptive to their customers' needs and creating solutions faster than their competitors. Service<br />
innovation is a central issue for these companies. To address this, the Business Executives Council initiated the<br />
so-called service initiative, a network within <strong>IVA</strong> focusing on the service sector and its special requirements.<br />
Another important issue for the Business Executives Council is increasing integration between the Council<br />
and other parts of <strong>IVA</strong>. In <strong>2009</strong> an initiative called NR to 1000 was launched. The goal is for the Business<br />
Executives Council to have 1,000 representatives in <strong>IVA</strong>'s networks, compared to 500 today. Above all, the<br />
Council wants each company to increase the number of representatives it has.<br />
The Business Executives Council also arranges popular breakfast meetings on issues of importance for<br />
Swedish business and is one of the initiators of <strong>IVA</strong>'s important innovation for growth project.<br />
