Nordic Business Forum | Rutger Bregman - Making Future-Proof Decisions that Count - Nordic Business Forum 2022 @nbforum | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
At age 34, Dutch historian and author Rutger Bregman is also already widely known for his books on history, philosophy, and economics, such as Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World.
His articles have also been published by The Washington Post, The Guardian, and BBC. TED Talks calls him “one of Europe’s most prominent young thinkers.” But when Bregman took the stage for a conversation with Finnish consultant and politician Kirsi Piha, she reminded young Bregman that he is also known for making the elites at Davos squirm in 2019.
“This is a fancy conference where elites go to talk about inclusion, climate change, and feminism,” said Bregman, whose chat with Piha kicked off the Nordic Business Forum. “I drew attention to the elephant in the room, their tax avoidance and corrupt business practices,” he said. “It wasn’t appreciated by the attendees, but it was popular with a lot of other people.”
Key Points:
• If you want to future-proof your decisions, consider how to best use your time and talents.
• Consider if your actions will be looked upon favorably by the historians of the future.
• Include innovative and positive thinking in your organization, and you will be rewarded and help make a difference.
