Why Risk, Luck and Passion Drives Success
In this talk, Frans shows that the pursuit of success depends on taking risks, requires more luck than you think, and a whole lot of passion. Without risk, luck or passion, we cannot outrun the treadmill in our lives or stand out from our competitors. But how do you think about risk in a risky world? How can you take advantage of luck? And if passion is so critical to success – why do we keep on ignoring it? In this counterintuitive and radical talk, Frans will show:
- Why most things you know about risk-taking are wrong
- Why most strategies are destined to not work for you and what you can do about it
- That passion is the single most critical success factor
The Medici Effect
What do goat milk, spiders, and fishing lines have in common? Music records and airlines? Bikinis and burqas? Most of us would assume nothing. But out of each of these seemingly random combinations have come radical innovations that have created whole new fields. In this talk, Frans Johansson takes us on a fascinating journey to the Intersection: a place where ideas from different fields and cultures collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new innovations. See how companies become global leaders, how products and services yield huge margins, how researchers, managers and artists outdo their peers. In a talk unlike any other, Frans will show:
- How to find groundbreaking ideas by combining different fields and cultures
- How to make these intersectional ideas happen
- How to think differently about the risk
Diversity Drives Innovation
The world is changing fast. More people than ever before are moving across cultures and countries. Companies, cities, even nations, must compete on a global basis just to stay on the playing field. In this world, diversity is the key driver for innovation. Frans explains how today’s most innovative companies form culturally diverse talent pools and teams as a strategy to innovate. These companies have become world leaders, and remain on the forefront of innovation. In this compelling and persuasive talk, Frans will show:
- Why diversity drives innovation
- Why diversity is critical for companies that want to innovate
- That most companies are far from leveraging the diversity they already have
