Björk is the project leader of the Ideation Management Interest Group (IMIG), a researched-based network, aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners working actively with ideation and innovation for cross-learning, presentation of research results, and to collectively pinpoint and act upon the red hot issues for ideation management research and practice. IMIG started as a research-based workshop serie in a research project administrated by IMIT and has since then developed into a network of practitioners that meet twice a year.
