Welcome to our fireside chat with Tomas Björkman, the founder of Ekskäret Foundation, a Swedish non-profit organization at the forefront of co-creating a conscious and sustainable society.
⭐️ As someone with a background in business and investment banking, what inspired Tomas to become a social entrepreneur?
⭐️ What are the complex issues of our time that Tomas is passionate about solving?
⭐️ Why, even though millions of people are already putting their efforts towards a better world, are we failing to create collective outcomes at the pace that's necessary?
⭐️ How are life-long personal inner development and growth and societal development connected to each other?
⭐️ What is the mission of Ekskäret Foundation and how does it give momentum to change?
⭐️ How do Perspectiva, Co-creation Loft, Emerge, 29k.org and IDGs framework complement each other in the pursuit of societal transformation?
⭐️ What are the frustrations and rewards of building social ventures - how do you maintain focus on your goals?
⭐️ Tomas has authored three books - The Market Myth (2016), The Nordic Secret (together with Lene Rachel Andersen, 2017) and The World We Create (2019). How have these writings contributed to shaping the change discourse?
⭐️ What are some guidelines from Tomas for today's entrepreneurs for creating social impact ventures?
⭐️ How to partner up with Ekskäret Foundation?
The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd - Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind.
