Speaking, lectures & workshops

After working with creative processes, creative practitioners and development of educational programmes, projects and policies for the the creative industries for two decades, I also have a few stories to tell. I speak at conferences - academic as well as non-academic, at private sector gatherings and at any other relevant event. The themes that I'm most often asked to share my views and experiences on are
 
  • Front end innovation and design thinking
  • Branding, communication strategies and storytelling
  • Design practise in an era of disruption
  • The role of design to speed up a transition towards a more sustainable society
Workshop programme 2023:
  • THE ART OF DESIGNING FOR DIVERSE AUDIENCES

  • THE DESIGNER AS FUTURE MAKER  

        

  • REPOSITIONING AESTHETICS IN DESIGN

  • CONNECTEDNESS AND CONSEQUENCE

 

This is some of what has been said said about our my speaking engagements:


We have now been through all the evaluation forms from our International Marketing Seminar last week, and it’s a pleasure to inform you that your contribution got a very good score. It’s always something special to have external contributors at internal corporate events, and we’re more than happy to conclude that the participants valued yours.
Bo Westergård, Marketing Project Manager, Oticon A/S – Denmark

Visiting you turned out to be the highlight of our study trip to Copenhagen, not least because you addressed so clearly the challenges that we face in our own organization.  
Einar Wiig, Dean, Bergen National Academy of the Arts – Norway

Thank you for a great intervention yesterday! We’ve had lots of positive feedback on the event, so we think it’s absolutely wonderful.
Kaja Misvær, Service Innovation Manager / Partner, Designit Oslo – Norway

Thank you for stepping in on such short notice yesterday. It was a fantastic intervention and a great contribution to the following debate!
Ida Engholm, Associate Professor, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - School of Design
