Sample Topics
A Nordic Perspective to Digitization
Technology is everywhere in our society. How we work, live and relate to each other are changing. What kind of future are we creating and what kind of future do we want to create? In the US, the model seems to be ‘data for profit’ while in China is more ‘data for control’. Neither seems attractive or sustainable in a European context. We need a third way – a model where tech is supporting the core values of the Nordic countries. We might not be the ones who develop new technology, but we are leading in implementing it. In his presentation, Anders will introduce the need for a third model and how value-based innovation or sustainable disruption can be leveraged to guide us.
Business by Nature – A Blueprint for a Sustainable Tomorrow
In an era punctuated by rapid change and global crises, the conventional norms of conducting business are undergoing a seismic shift. Being resilient is now more important than being efficient. The journey towards a resilient and sustainable society calls for a profound metamorphosis in how businesses envision and operate themselves. This isn’t just about being sustainable; it’s about being regenerative, about rejuvenating and restoring the balance of our fragile ecosystems – and business is the key to this transition.
Technology is an important part of the green transition, but so far, technology has not delivered. On the contrary – most technologies seem to accelerate the problem rather than fix it.
The answer to how to run a resilient and sustainable business is right in front of us – nature. Nature has a proven track record of 3.8 billion years of sustaining an ecosystem. In this talk, Anders will redefine the core business elements like how to compete, how to grow, how to innovate, and how to design your business model just like nature.
Drawing inspiration from the intricate, balanced, and resilient systems of nature, Anders will illustrate how the fusion of technology with natural principles can usher in groundbreaking sustainable solutions, paving the way for a greener, more hopeful future. In this riveting talk, be prepared to challenge the status quo and embrace a new paradigm — one where business, by nature, becomes a force of rejuvenation for our world.
