Our entrepreneurial
approach in practise
RECOGNIZED BY PRESIDENT CLINTON
INNOVATING PRIVATE
BANKING
President Bill Clinton and Rockefeller Foundation President Judith Rodin called on ForeSight CEO Björn Larsson at the plenary closing of a Clinton Global Initiative AGM in New York.
They recognised Passionate Investments, an initiative by the ForeSight Group launched in partnership with Swedbank, the oldest bank in Scandinavia. The initiative has since been further developed and expanded.
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP VALUE CREATION
OPENING KEYNOTE 5000 PAX STHLM TECH FEST
The ForeSight Group launched The Rise of the Meaningful Economy (available on Amazon) as the opening keynote of the Stockholm Tech Fest. Subsequent opening keynotes on this big-data-based insight have included the European Asset Management Annual Conference, Luxembourg, and Media for Social Impact Summit, United Nations, New York.
ForeSight’s research identified how Meaning has become an economic force and consequently a lens through which companies can look to create value. We are changing what we buy and from whom, how and where we work, what we do with our capital and how we design and run our organisations.
100 MAJOR INSTITUTIONS
BUILDING A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
We led the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) design team from inception in 2003 and contributed its founding chair, board members and first CEO.
GRLI is a partnership of 100 business and business schools (including Babson, INSEAD, London Business School, Aviva, IBM and Glaxo Smith Kline) working with the two leading business school accreditations (EFMD and AACSB) and the United Nations Global Compact to transform business education. The word “Global Responsibility” is now embedded in the global discourse and the idea of such leadership has become the aspirational “new normal”.
JIM COLLINS FORESIGHT “GOOD TO GREAT”
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
EXCHANGE
Throughout our history, we have established close contacts with many thought-leaders via high-level seminars, sometimes on our own, sometimes together with prominent organizations, like the Economist, and often at an early stage before they gained recognition.
As Jim Collins was well into his study on Good to Great the ForeSight Group was invited to his home town Boulder, Colorado, to test his findings together with a group of the ForeSight Group clients from Australia, Europe and the US. The land mark study became an instant worldwide success. Today 5 million copies sold. The Good to Great thesis fits well with the ForeSight entrepreneurial approach.
FORESIGHTS FOUNDERS
PIONEERING INTRAPRENEUR-
SHIP GLOBALLY
Sven Atterhed, Lennart Boksjö and Gustaf Delin founded the ForeSight Group in 1979 and pioneered the field of internal entrepreneurship (intrapreneurship) by licensing its approach to consulting firms in 13 countries.
The entrepreneurial principles applied have stood the test of time and are equally relevant today.

ForeSight Exploration
As we all know but tend to forget – life is no dress rehearsal. Therefore, we gather our ForeSight Strike Team members (some with partners) bi-annually. We also invite wonderful long-time ForeSight friends as well as people we are curious to learn to know. Below is a pic from a recent ForeSight Exploration Journey, in an olive grove, Zakynthos, Greece.
