Lars on the Future

The future will bring a tsunami of innovation, way beyond anything seen in the past. To surf it rather than drown in it, we need to use information tools and management techniques that are not common today.

Meet Lars

Author, entrepreneur & investor, has to a large extend built his success being a formidable analyst and major consumer of a steady stream of global information. Over the years, Lars has developed a clear vision by being very well versed in the patterns and laws that history continuously and repeatedly reveals to us. These patterns and laws constitute a fabulous dance which tells us a great deal about the future we are all rapidly moving into. Especially two of Lars’ now 17 book publications, “The Creative Society” (2015) and “Supertrends” (2019) provides a beautiful insight into both the historical perspective and a future perspective on how our world and our conditions for conducting business develop.

One of the key characteristics about Lars is that he largely brings his insight into play through the start-up of new companies, where he is the lead investor, through structured private equity investments in other entrepreneurs’ start-ups and through investments in the global, financial markets. These activities provide Lars with ongoing feedback and insights into how his analyses and conclusions work in relation the specific world we all find ourselves in.

In 2020, he started the companies Supertrends Institute and Supertrends, both in Switzerland. By the start of 2021 is starting a new investment fund in Switzerland – All this requires that you keep your finger on the pulse and can feel the rhythm.

At a time when we are all working to deal with change, innovation and adaptations through strategic planning and investment allocation, it is both helpful, deeply inspiring and enjoyable to hear Lars sharing his insights into innovation, new technologies, new business models, possible societal developments, investments and expected financial markets development.

I have spent my life exploring and developing human potential whilst enjoying various careers as a performing classical musician, visual artist, business owner and executive coach.

Liselotte on the Future

My dream is to democratize and globalize future studies before I die.

Meet Liselotte

When I started working as futurist 20 years ago it was a skill that was nice to have. Today it’s a need to have. With a labor market in disruption, the tectonic shifts in our economy and our social fabric we can no longer solely rely on past experience and insight.

Many people talk about the need to look ahead, unfortunately very few people know how to do so in a systematic manner.  My aim is to teach as many people as possible how navigate the future. Preparing for the future has to be a collaborative effort where all kinds of skills and perspectives are brought into play. For that I have developed a range of analytical tools. Working with soft and hard trends, transformative trends and game changers will help you spot the future ahead of the curve.

My professional ambition and drive is to empower decision-makers wherever they are.

As a Green Career Coach and Talent Development Consultant, I collaborate with clients to focus on and leverage the intersection of foresight, future sustainability, careers, personal transformation, and organizational success.

Among the questions and broad topics I explore with clients include:

● What trends, emerging ideas, and external forces are influencing the demand for Green careers?  What opportunities are created as a result for professional and personal transformation?

● What might the future of work look like in sustainability organizations?  How can leaders draw on these insights to build the kinds of organizations that attract, inspire and engage current and future team members?

● What do individual professionals and leaders need to know, so they can effectively shape and manage their own careers and the future of their organizations, in support of “green” goals?

Olga on the Future

Embracing the awareness that I expand through questions while I’m constrained by answers.

Meet Olga

As the rate of change and technological innovation continues to exponentially increase in all aspects of our lives, it is imperative for future leaders to become fluent navigators and facilitators of change. I am deeply curious about how to reduce the increasing gap between the speed of change in the external world and the rate of change of our internal maps as well as interested in the change dynamics present in a complex interconnected system.

I approach change facilitation from a neuroscience perspective looking at the top core reasons change acquisition and sustainability may get stuck particularly when unlearning is required and how to incorporate unlearning goals into the change-design process to achieve desired outcomes.  I believe Future-Fluent organizations that thrive in fast-changing and disruptive environments are those able to scale their why; create psychological safe environments – scaling trust; ensure espoused values match underlying beliefs present in the organization; align processes to values – often the changes we want to make are restricted by our adherence to the processes that support the old way versus the new way; develop self-leaders regardless of positional status – allowing for shape-shifting model or “open power” model for leadership: moving away from structural hierarchy and instead fluidly shifting to have the most appropriate person/s leading depending on the need. I believe there are many exciting and thrilling things ahead.
