I can help you figure out the future of your business by harnessing the current pace of change, identifying the opportunities it presents, stimulating innovation and transformation, disrupting, agitating, leading and inspiring groups and individuals through keynotes, ideation sessions, workshops, events and briefings through to board level. As the former Vice President of Technology Research for Visa Europe, I am experienced in building Global Innovation and Scanning & Scouting capabilities, frequently working with organisations developing their own idea incubation labs or in-house foresight and trends tracking services, in teams across Europe including UK & Ireland, the Nordics, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and further afield including Turkey, UAE, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa and the USA. I spend the bulk of my time curating volumes of news, research and information across a diverse range of sources in order to stimulate ideas and fuel innovation through actionable insight. I am focussed on driving technological transformation of the bottom line, leveraging the impact of current and emerging technology trends on society, industry and individuals. I am heavily involved in the startup community (currently mentoring at Startupbootcamp) where my focus is business model and product proposition development.

I firmly believe that if you don't write your own story of how you would like to see the future unfold, you will be reading about it as history made by someone else, so let's work together to create the next bestseller!

Mats Lewan is an international speaker, futurist, moderator, author and journalist based in Stockholm, Sweden, focusing on digitalisation and technology as a powerful driving force for change that will transform our lives and our society forever in the next few decades—far more than most people realizes. As a SPEAKER, Mats makes you see and understand how the pace of change is accelerating, how all industries will be hit by digital revolution like the music industry was, how every business will have to adapt to survive, how most of us will see our jobs being completely transformed or eliminated, and that machines might become super intelligent. People listening often say they’re shaken-up but also inspired by the tools Mats provides to prepare for, and take part in this powerful and fundamental change. Mats' talks are in English, Swedish or Italian, and they have been appreciated by renowned institutions and organizations such as Karolinska Institutet, Telia Sonera, Toyota and MoneySuperMarket.com. Mats regularly also work as a MODERATOR at technology focused events such as SAP Innovation Forum and Open Text Innovation Day. With deep knowledge from many tech industries, and WITH a long experience of being on stage, Mats can help making your conference or your inspiration day a successful event, asking the right questions that make speakers open up new perspectives, while also engaging with your audience, making the atmosphere relaxed and hearty. As an AUTHOR, Mats elaborates the technology theme further, weaving it into what his readers say are captivating stories. His latest book 'An Impossible Invention' covers the amazing and ongoing story of the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi and his energy device the E-Cat, possibly based on cold fusion—an energy source that could provide clean water to Planet Earth, zero-emission vehicles with unlimited mileage, a solution to the climate crisis and much more. The catch is that it has been considered physically impossible since an infamous and erroneously rejected scientific claim in 1989. As a science and technology JOURNALIST since 20 years, Mats focuses on making complicated stuff easy to grasp, and also on putting it into context, showing what it might mean—to our society, to businesses and to our lives. Mats has been working as a senior staff writer at Ny Teknik, Stockholm, Sweden—the major technology weekly in Scandinavia, and at CBS Cnet News in San Francisco. Mats' favorite quote: Like all revolutionary new ideas, the subject has had to pass through three stages, which may be summed up by these reactions: (1) ‘It’s crazy – don’t waste my time.’ (2) ‘It’s possible, but it’s not worth doing.’ (3) ‘I always said it was a good idea.’ (Arthur C. Clarke)

I help leaders of large organizations deliver on their commitments to high performance. Before, during and after an Agile adoption or any kind of Lean transformation, large organizations often find that they need to de-scale and simplify organizational structures and processes. I function as an Executive-level guide for companies approaching their second growth phase. Industry leaders in banking, insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, utilities and media hire me to help remove obstacles in their path to innovation. We address specific pain points in the system so upper-management can learn to enable emergent solutions. For example: ➸ Horizontal complexity- consolidating functions across the enterprise, growing highly effective cross functional teams ➸ Vertical complexity - shedding obsolete roles, layers and reporting structures in order for fast decision making and increased flexibility ➸ Spatial complexity - preparing distributed and remote teams for success, digital is in my genes ➸ Technical complexity - removing technical debt by decoupling, XP and DevOps practices, growing products instead of building them My engagements with clients achieve greater organizational alignment with fewer dependencies left to manage. Transparency with access to good data ensures empirically-sound decision making. As a result, the system becomes leaner, more customer-centric and ready with each successive change wave to build its greatest products yet. Do you want to unlock strengths inside your organization’s culture to navigate new markets and technologies so you come out ahead of competition? Commitment to high performance means removing whatever stands in the way. Reach out to me - I bring intense curiosity to learn about your context and circumstances. For companies that endure, simplicity brings its own rewards. ☕ Specialties: Large-Scale Agile/Scrum Adoptions, Lean Product Development, Agile (Product) Management, Design for Collaboration and Engagement, Lean Startup and Design Thinking
