Jonas Ridderstrale Speaking Topics

  • The Holy Grail of Business: Compete on Fitness & Sex Appeal

    We remember the likes of Dell and Dylan for their ability to innovate and then continuously reinvent themselves. Successful corporations and individuals perfect the art of creating imperfections • the Holy Grail of commerce. In a deregulated world, the new business reality is a "double economy" with increasing differences between the best and the rest.

    Instead of appealing to what's average, you must explore what's extreme. Those who stay in the middle of the road will be run over by modern monopolists.

    Using examples from some of the most successful contemporary business organizations, speaker Jonas Ridderstrale describes two ways in which to build sustainable competitive advantages:

    • Adapt to the new business environment by developing business models that are incredibly fit by exploiting the imperfection of markets
    • Compete on sex appeal by understanding people's moods

  • The Future Firm: The Shape of Things to Come

    The successful 21st-century corporation is fundamentally different from the one that dominated the industrial era. Gone are the days of the local and bureaucratic conglomerate.

    Today, wealth is made with wisdom and customers are more demanding than ever. In a world with a surplus of products and services of similar prices and quality, the future firm must thrive on its ability to be different and add value in new ways.

    Speaker Jonas Ridderstrale outlines where we should expect to find the firm of the future, what it will look like, and how it will operate. Learn more about how the company of tomorrow profits from changing circumstances and unpredictability. Find out why winners must be focused, innovative, heterarchical, and adept at leveraging themselves.

  • Life in the Funky Village: Business Megatrends

    Today, most people live, work, and do business in a deregulated global economy. More and more individuals enjoy the freedom of choice. In this presentation, speaker Jonas Ridderstrale discusses how we can capitalize on these new freedoms of movement by understanding shifts towards democratization, personalization, feminization, polarization, and many others.

  • Forces of Funk: What Drives Change?

    The only way your business can respond to new challenges in a constructive way is by truly understanding why the socioeconomic landscape is changing so rapidly. The best leaders have always been business sociologists. They know that you find opportunity by analyzing context.

    Speaker Jonas Ridderstrale has written and thought extensively about the seismic impact of changes in technology, institutions, and values. In this presentation, he talks about how we can benefit from advances in information technology and telecommunications as individuals and as leaders of corporations. He also discusses the implications of institutional deregulation on capitalism, nation states, political parties, companies, families, and others, and explains how the world's shift from a geographically structured entity to one dominated by global tribes will influence life inside and outside our organizations.
