From Burning Platform to Burning Desire

On Nov 24th we received a visit from Kimberly Mathisen, outgoing CEO of Microsoft Norway and becoming CEO of HUB Ocean . The day was filled with discussions centered around the role data and technology can play in tackling the big challenges the world is facing.

In you I see future leaders with a growth mindset, qualities the world needs to tackle what is ahead of us. Action to deal with the climate crisis is urgent, and all sectors need to contribute. Avoiding an imminent crisis out of fear, is not a sufficient motivating factor. Change starts at a personal level, with everyone being involved. In spite of all , I am optimistic about a paradigm shift in the business world, not being driven solely by profit, but with a deeper understanding of the common good. An important part of this is to prepare the future leaders for both the complexity of the problems and solutions to what we are up against.
