How Volvo Builds Business Results Through High-Performing Teams

Swedcham, in partnership with GDQ Associates, invites you discover how one of Sweden’s most iconic global companies uses team performance science to drive results — and learn the framework you can apply in your own organization.

About the Event

Building a high-performing team isn’t about hiring the smartest people — it’s about how they work together. In this session, GDQ Associates will unpack the research-informed group development methods used by leading Swedish-Brazilian businesses to assess, develop, and sustain team effectiveness, drawing on real examples from Volvo’s own teams.
