About Anders Indset
Recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the most influential thinkers in technology and leadership for the coming years, he serves as a trusted sparring partner and advisor to global leaders and top executives. With his deep understanding of the implications of exponential technologies, Anders demonstrates how and why leadership and its relation to philosophy are becoming more relevant than ever. He strongly believes that in a world where everyone has almost infinite access to knowledge, deeper understanding and the ability to anticipate future scenarios become the most needed skills for executives, alongside developing interpersonal skills.
As an investor in exponential technologies such as AI, Quantum, Health tech, and Cybersecurity, he brings his ideas to life and supports companies in scaling their products and services. 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.
Anders’ work focuses on the dialogue between philosophy and business, which has boundless potential. Philosophy—“the art of being wrong”—supports the continuous improvement of business models, methods, and strategies by critically questioning basic economic assumptions and beliefs and uncovering core problems. The unlimited openness of this approach to paradoxes, differences, and ambiguities harbors the potential from which innovative and sustainable entrepreneurial perspectives and solutions can emerge.
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.ng some election equipment.
