Royal Danish Library's business forum prioritises knowledge and education for managers. We present new perspectives from a selection of the world's leading experts in their field - at the intersection of economics, politics, philosophy and management.

We create a forum for new knowledge and new perspectives with room to grow. Here you can find inspiration, reflect and give yourself the opportunity to think a little bigger than what is often possible on a daily basis. The programme addresses the state of the world as well as philosophical and educational questions in relation to leading and developing in a broad sense.

The business forum also provides unique access to other experiences at The Black Diamond, exhibitions, concerts and author presentations, which can create value for employees and networks.

Why do 99.5% of all mega projects fail? In the midst of a worldwide climate crisis, we are dependent on the success of the major changes. But research shows that 99.5% of all mega projects today go wrong either by not living up to their purpose or by poor planning. Bent Flyvbjerg, the world's leading expert in mega projects and author of the international bestseller "How Big Things Get Done", knows how to reverse the trend. Meet him in The Diamond and get the answer to how a mega project becomes a success.
