Around 2 years ago, I wrote an article entitled “Start-ups. A love-hate relationship”. The core message of this article was, in a nutshell, that perseverance eats “inspiration & motivation” for breakfast, so to speak. Since then, I have had countless conversations with start-up founders and have observed that many first-time founders don’t really understand that…
I have spoken to countless entrepreneurs over the past two weeks and am pleased to note that almost all of them have realized that digitalization must play an important role in the future. The reason for this realization is less pleasing; the measures ordered by the government have hit society and therefore the economy hard….
A few years ago, I wrote a post about how I stopped watching TV and how much time I gained for myself as a result. The impulse at the time came from my colleague Søren Schaffstein, who inspired me to categorically turn away from TV. At the end of last year, the same thing happened…
I’ve heard a lot of terrible stories from small business owners in the last few days. Many have been hit hard by the lockdown. I often sense a sense of powerlessness that paralyzes rational action. That’s a shame, because now seems like a good time to take a few steps forward. In terms of digitalization,…
As a child, I was lively and eager to move and unwavering in exploring the laws of physics with my body. I didn’t believe anyone about what was possible or not possible. At some point, my mother gave up her admonishing words and commented dryly: “If you don’t want to hear, you have to feel.”…

In a retro a few months ago, part of my team told me that I had an “inhumanly high level of productivity” (whatever that means exactly…) in the things I do. And; I should show everyone how I organize myself and how I do it. I then put together an internal presentation about all the…
Over the last two years I have written several articles on the evolution of politics(Digital Politics – How digitalization will change politics & What if politics is the problem?) . There was a great response – probably also because of one or two controversial statements. In a society that is changing rapidly, the systems that…
As you know, one of my core theses with regard to the change in motorized private transport is that I assume that electric cars will prevail due to their inherently better and cheaper design. And that thoughts about environmental protection are in fact probably of secondary importance to buyers. This thesis has even earned me…
A few years ago, I had the task of carrying out an evaluation of various ERP systems with a focus on the financial sector. It was not the first time I had done this. I had quickly put together a good list of requirements, talked to various people who were much more deeply involved in…
