S&P Investment Risk Management Agency Becomes the General Partner of a Masterclass by One of the World’s Top Business Gurus
With the participation and support of S&P Investment Risk Management Agency, an exclusive masterclass by Kjell Nordström — a renowned Swedish economist, author, and one of the world’s leading business thinkers—is taking place today in Kyiv.
For over 25 years, Kjell Nordström has been working with international businesses, advising multinational corporations and government institutions on globalization, corporate strategy, and business development. He was among the first global business gurus to identify the emergence of the era of creativity in business.
His book, Funky Business: Talent Makes Capital Dance, written in the early 2000s, predicted many aspects of modern global economic development. The book became an international bestseller, earning Nordström the reputation of a business futurist.
In Kyiv, Kjell Nordström will share insights with business owners and executives on how to succeed in the ultramodern world (read: the world of technology).
“If you acknowledge that the future has already arrived and want to grow in the next 5-10 years, you need the right strategy and the skill to think ‘from the future.’ To succeed in the ultramodern world, you must follow FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google). The goal of today’s masterclass is to provide you with a deep understanding of the modern business environment—how massive technological changes impact companies—and to highlight the emerging system of new values,” the speaker noted.
Opening the event, Mykola Syutkin, founder of S&P Investment Risk Management Agency, emphasized in his welcome speech that such events clearly highlight the huge gap between the business environment in Ukraine and the direction in which global business is moving.
“Business in Ukraine is focused on survival, not creation. Sometimes, I feel like our country is still living in the times of Ancient Greece, where local aristocrats, declaring themselves descendants of Heracles, claimed a divine right to indulgence and violence. Today, modern Ukrainian ‘Heraclids’ in government offices and law enforcement agencies continue to devour businesses and intimidate what entrepreneurs are building in this country.
However, the sheer number of Ukrainian entrepreneurs, company executives, and progressive thinkers gathered here today proves that Ukrainian business is interested in global trends and strategies—and is ready to set them in this country.
As long as we continue to come together, as long as renowned speakers visit us, and as long as Ukrainian businesses choose growth over survival, Ukraine has every chance of being integrated into the global innovation landscape—where there is no place for ‘Heraclids’ at all.” — Mykola Syutkin
The organizer of Kjell Nordström’s master class in Kyiv was KA Group Agency.
