  • The operating system of our society – QUANTUM ECONOMY

If we want to understand society, we need to rethink the economy. Anders asks: “What comes after digitalization?” and explains why “Queen Capitalism” needs an upgrade – a PATCH. Anders Indset sees the achievement of an eco-social market economy primarily through the liberation of human potential and the exploration of technological possibilities.

  • Leadership in the exponential age – ANTICIPATED FUTURE

With his deep understanding of the impact of exponential technologies, Anders shows how and why leadership and its connection to philosophy is more relevant today than ever. He firmly believes that in a world with almost unlimited access to knowledge, a deeper understanding and ability to anticipate future scenarios, along with the development of interpersonal skills, will be the most sought-after competencies for leaders.

  • High performance culture and values. How does this work? – THE VIKING CODE

We humans are created to create. With the WIKINGER CODE, Anders Indset shows a new path to performance: growing individually while strengthening the collective good. This understanding forms the basis of a performance culture – a culture in which we reinterpret ‘success’ and ‘performance’ and actively shape our future.

  • The art of the possible – POSSIBILISM

Possibilism is the alternative between negative pessimism, which primarily sees risks, limitations and problems, and utopian optimism, which is based on naïve hopes or unrealistic promises for the future.

“Economics is not a game we can win” is one of the sentences by economic philosopher Anders Indset with which he regularly wakes up his audience. He believes that by upgrading the operating system – “the economy” – we can address the emerging questions of meaning and purpose, work and social issues, work and life.
