Leading Business Thinker & Speaker

Dr. Jonas Ridderstråle is one of the world’s most influential business thinkers and speakers. Since bursting onto the international scene with the bestseller Funky Business in 2000, Jonas has remained at the forefront of the new generation of management gurus. The 2011 Thinkers 50, the biennial ranking of business thinkers, ranked him number 5 in Europe. He is one of the few who has been consistently featured on this list for more than a decade.

A speaker with a difference who makes a difference
In his speaking engagements Dr. Ridderstråle works with a modular “Lego-style” approach. This design enables him to be flexible in adapting both content and length of his presentations to the context and specific needs of the client. In keynotes, workshops and after-dinner speeches, Jonas shares his insights into what’s changing in the new world of business. Depending on the client, the impact of these trends is then linked to implications for issues such as business strategy innovation, talent management, new organizational solutions, leadership challenges, etc. Examples used are aligned to the industrial and cultural setting.

Author of bestselling books
Funky Business (co-author Kjell A. Nordström) quickly became an international phenomenon, selling in excess of 300,000 copies. The book was recently ranked at number 16 in a Bloomsbury survey of the best business books of all time. The sequel, Karaoke Capitalism, came out in 2004. His latest manifesto for how to make in the new world of business is called Re-energizing the Corporation (co-authored with Mark Wilcox). Jonas is currently working on a new book, provisionally titled Game Changers. So far, his books have been translated into 30+ languages and published in more than 50 countries worldwide.
