Speaker Profile
Change doesn't care whether you like it or not - it doesn't need your permission.
We upgrade, exchange and replace our software because we know that old technology, rusty circuitry and limited bandwidth won't suffice in the future. Yet why are we so reluctant to apply the same upgrades to our thinking? The current rapid pace of change in every industry means that we need to be constantly upgrading our personal, organisational and leadership software.
The only way to make these upgrades is to understand how oncoming trends are likely to affect your organisation, so you can act swiftly when the next tidal wave of information hits your shores. How would your company be different if your staff were inspired about change, rather than paralysed by it? Or if your leaders could raise performance to meet the oncoming generations, do more with less, and innovate their way into the future? Or better still, if you knew which trends were impacting your industry today and how to position your thinking favourably for the future?
Anders Sorman-Nilsson is a reformed lawyer, and the founder and creative director of the Sydney and Stockholm based research company - Thinque. His unique global perspectives have been helping leaders, teams, and business owners in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia make sense of and harness disruptive trends in innovations, generations and communications. His misfit insights have recently been manifested in his book Thinque Funky: Upgrade Your Thinking and amplified by endorsements via AFR Boss Magazine, Wired (UK), and Monocle.
Advising clients like Apple, MTV, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, SAP, McCann Erickson, CPA Australia, UTS Business School and Macquarie Bank on 'next practice', Anders' future thinking provides GPS directions for businesses, teams and leaders seeking to navigate a constantly shifting business landscape, and successfully enter a new decade of thinking.

- Thank you very much for all your hard work and enthusiasm that went beyond your presentation to ensuring it all fitted together. A very polished and professional seminar.
Macquarie Bank - I want to thank you for a highly energetic, stimulating and thought-provoking presentation. You encouraged a high level of connectedness with your audience
TEC [The Executive Connection] - 'Anders Sorman-Nilsson has been a guest speaker on behalf of Schwarzkopf Professional & Indola on two occasions during 2009, the first during an Employee Sales Conference with the second being directed at our most authoritative National Key Customers.On both occasions Anders message has been diverse, clear, interactive whilst delivering great meaning which all attendees have obtained and subsequently implemented within their individual environments. We will continue to incorporate Anders into our future seminar calendar due to numerous and impressive feedback received and would recommend Anders to any company wishing to inspire "funky" thought processes to their target market.
Schwarzkopf / Henkel - I have recently had the pleasure of working with Anders during preparation for a national congress, where Anders was consequently voted 'Best Speaker'. In all my dealings with Anders I found him to be extremely accommodating and helpful. Our timelines were incredibly tight but he was able to work within the parameters with no issue. He is very passionate about Generation Y and motivation in the workplace, whilst also being mindful of factors affecting each and every one of us. This makes his presentations so applicable and relevant to the audience. I have been lucky enough to have attended a couple of Anders' sessions and have come away each time with new strategies to try, which is rare, and I am pleased to say the strategies have been effective! In this era where we are all time poor, any time away from your core business needs to enhance your competencies or develop you or your business. I believe Anders' sessions are value-packed and thought-provoking and have indeed helped me to develop, manage, motivate and retain my staff.
Novotech Pharmaceutical - I just wanted to say thanks again for your presentation at the Channel Camp event last week. I have had some really great feedback from delegates and I just wanted to say thank you for your part in making this event a success.
