Stories have great power in organisations. Not only the stories you tell your colleagues, but also the ones companies tell through presentations, speeches and quarterly reports. Two CBS researchers talk about their work prior to an event organised by the Department of International Business Communication and CBS Alumni. The event takes place on 2 March 2016.

When Jakob Haldor Topsøe began studying at CBS, he did not expect a deep involvement in the company founded by his grandfather. But now he is chairman of the board in Haldor Topsøe's holding company. A student position ended up being crucial to his studies and future career.

No one knows CBS better than its alumni. This is why CBS needs them to help develop its programmes and to create closer ties to the business community. President of CBS Per Holten-Andersen envisions a future where alumni study throughout their careers and have easy access to knowledge from CBS.

Although his professional life has already held many defining moments, Poul Skovgaard sometimes misses having the time for immersion that his studies at CBS offered. However, he has never let completely go of CBS. In addition to having regular contact – and annual get-togethers – with his former classmates, Poul Skovgaard also acts as an external examiner.
