In this episode Lauren Hawker Zafer engages with Anders Indset. This fascinating conversation between Anders and Lauren focuses on the intersection between humanity and technology.

Who is Anders Indset?
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.
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.
