A 2025 view on my 2018 prediction: "Ready for the AI and robot revolution?"
In 2018, I wrote a perspective for Oslo Business Forum: "Artificial Intelligence and Robotization – Are we ready for the revolution?" The prediction seemed dramatic then, but I should've gone much further. By 2025, blind studies show many prefer AI over humans for empathic conversations and even art. This reflection revisits the original 7-year-old perspective and invites readers to share thoughts on how it aged.
Call for Action: How to Position and Prepare Norway to Become a Quantum Powerhouse
This report explores Norway's position in the rapidly evolving quantum technology landscape, examining opportunities and risks. It emphasizes strategic choices, collaboration, and national differentiation over sovereignty for its own sake. The analysis argues that Norway's ability to differentiate and make deliberate tradeoffs will be more important than pursuing complete national control. By focusing on innovation, building value chains, and fostering collaboration, Norway can position itself as a valuable partner in the quantum era. The report includes PESTEL, VRIO, and SWOT analyses, concluding with strategic recommendations for action.
A decade at the Edge: looking back, ahead and within
If you look back on the past decade, what took you by surprise? We interviewed ten leaders who have worked with the Center for the Edge Europe over the past ten years, inviting them to share significant moments of insight. Their reflections are organized into three sections: The Call to Explore, Shift Explorers, and Leading by Narrative. Over the past decade, the Center has influenced the transformation of several large organisations by combining original research with action.
Forretningsmuligheter i metaverset for AS Norge
What is the risk of not participating in shaping the rules for generative AI and the metaverse? Missing out on major opportunities. The metaverse could increase Norway's GDP by around 100 billion kroner by 2035, and we can help shape development in a constructive direction. But both business and the public sector must lean in much further. The greatest opportunity to shape the metaverse exists now.

Må motstå teknologiske fristelser
Startups threaten established companies, and increasingly more leaders see the need to make their own organization more innovative. Exploring new technologies can seem like a logical first step. A mission to innovate involves uncertainty and pressure, and new technology offers hope for insight and inspiration.
Singularity University: En verdifull katalysator?
Leaders who don't meet the challenges that come with new technologies can end up paying a much higher price than the seminar fees at Singularity University. While the marketing is inflated and expensive, the think tank can inspire revolutionary innovation and add value to organizations. However, organizations must find frameworks for action and concrete solutions elsewhere.
