Nordic Executive Dialogue at IMD – Lausanne
We are pleased to invite you to the 3rd Nordic Executive Dialogue, hosted at IMD and jointly organised by the Nordic Chambers of Commerce in Switzerland.
This exclusive executive evening brings together senior leaders, board members, and decision-makers to reflect on leadership, strategy, and long-term value creation in an increasingly complex global business environment — and to explore how leaders must adapt to navigate today’s uncertainty while preparing for the future.
Drawing on his experience, former CEO and Chairman of the LEGO Group, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, will be sharing his perspectives on:
-
Navigating the current global business environment, marked by geopolitical uncertainty, technological disruption, and shifting stakeholder expectations
-
Making strategic choices under pressure, while preserving long-term value and organisational resilience
-
How leaders must evolve their mindset, governance, and leadership approach to successfully lead into the future
