Homo Stupido

Stefan Engeseth explores the paradox of human intelligence

and stupidity, arguing that our capacity for mistakes can be transformed into a powerful force for innovation and progress. Recycling human stupidity can be the key to transforming our most significant flaws into the driving force for more innovation, more organizations, and a sustainable future.

 

Questions to explore

  • How we could be living in the year 3000 in a few years from now?
  • Will humans become smarter or dumber when AI becomes smarter than us?
  • How many Einsteins and Newtons have we missed because they had the “wrong” gender?
  • What are the 10 steps to make anyone less Stupid?

What do you get?

  • Create a future based on the future.
  • Move forward in evolution in a positive way.
  • Make your organization less stupid and increase its intelligence.
  • Inspiration and motivation to create and embrace the future.
  • Explore different scenarios for Homo sapiens.

Sharkonomics

By applying sharks’ behavioural traits, Engeseth has created several efficient business strategies, including striking unpredictably, developing a sensory system, hunting in packs, and locating blind spots. The more competitive your marketplace, the more effective your Sharkonomics can be. After all, sharks have been evolving for over 420 million years and are still very much the leaders in their space.

 

Why Sharkonomics?

Nature is more intelligent than Stanford, Harvard, MIT, McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain, IBM, Apple, and other Fortune 500 companies. In nature, sharks have to move to survive. But in business, most market leaders remain static because they are stuck in history and eventually become shark food.

 

Questions to explore

  • Do you want to get ahead of the competition?
  • Does your team need an injection of futuristic thoughts or just a challenge?
  • How to think like a shark to attack markets and defend against competitors with agility, focus, and boldness?

What do you get?

  • Don’t get stuck in history.
  • Focus the organization on what increases results.
  • Fat and happy versus digitalize or die.
  • Take a bigger bite of the market.
  • Identify blind spots to capitalize on.
  • Increase business agility and speed.
  • How to attack and defend your business.
  • Move faster and boost profits!
