Against all odds examines a question that has become increasingly urgent in public governance and organizational life: why is it so difficult to achieve real and lasting change, even when the need for change is obvious and widely acknowledged? Join us for a book launch with Jonas Törnblom, where research and real-world cases come together to explore what it actually takes to succeed with reform in complex organizations.

Date: June 2, 2026
Time: 17:30-19:00, followed by mingle
Location: Ragnar, Stockholm School of Economics, Bertil Ohlins gata 4

Please note that we will serve coffee and a sandwhich at 17.30 but the panel will begin at 18:00. 

Drawing on examples from Swedish public administration, healthcare, welfare, and education, the talk explores why reforms often fall short and what distinguishes systems that manage to sustain change. The book will be published by Ekerlids förlag at the end of May 2026.

Please note that this event will be held in Swedish.
