Internationally acclaimed keynote speaker and “Business Philosopher” ⁠⁠Anders Indset⁠⁠—Norwegian-born author, deep-tech investor, and former elite athlete.Anders is a fifth-time Spiegel best-selling author, author of six international books, and has been recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the influential thinkers in the fields of technology and leadership in the years to come.  Anders has two decades of experience in working with multinational companies and is a sought-after ⁠⁠guest lecturer⁠⁠ at leading international business schools. Whether on big stages or in small groups, with his unconventional way of thinking and his inspiring and dynamic personality, he moves and activates people, and leads them beyond ‘the given’ and what they hold to be self-evident.

In his forthcoming book, ⁠⁠The Viking Code⁠⁠ (Wiley, September 2024) Anders reveals the secrets of Norwegian success in sports and beyond. By studying Norwegian success we can develop a new performance culture that is based on fun and positivity and deeply rooted in values. Anders Indset impressively shows what leaders in business and politics, as well as society as a whole, can learn from the Viking Code, and vividly illustrates how a new, value-based performance culture can become a reality. #ai #techpodcast #redefiningai #squirro
