As a writer, Nicklas is very interested in practical and useful perspectives on the merger of technology, society, and business. With the conviction that technology is probably the strongest driver of change today, it’s obvious that anyone in a management position, or with aspirations to eventually be in that position, must understand how technology is changing business and society from the ground up.

In the updated and expanded second edition of Surviving the Techstorm, Nicklas Bergman introduces new tools to understand the rapidly changing technology landscape.

Not only is it important to understand what is happening in the world of technology and innovation, you also need to have a clear understanding of how this will change the way you lead and organize for innovation and sustainability. For all existing or aspiring leaders, understanding these perspectives is absolutely necessary in the coming years and decades.

Nordic Ways - The Nordic Model in a Global Perspective

The Nordic countries have been consistently successful and are leaders on a range of global issues. This book explores some of the underlying factors and looks closely at what makes the Nordics successful, but also at the challenges that remain. The notion of Nordic coolness, efficiency, and resilience has swept through the U.S. in the arts and design world and political debates; it has become a staple in societal, environmental, and gender issues. International statistics show Nordic countries occupying top spots when it comes to quality of life, beautiful and livable cities, and close to zero corruption.

The historic ties between the Nordic countries and the United States are important underpinnings of their achievements. But then, there's no country big enough to face the global challenges alone, and there are no countries too small not to be able to make a difference. In a totally interconnected world, inspiration can and should come from everywhere and anywhere.
