Why get lost?

The sixth Nordic Exceptional Trendshop - NEXT no.6 Conference - Get Lost

“It’s not just one year ago since the last NEXT. It’s a different age, another time“, Moderator Mads Thimmer stated in the beginning of the conference. No one has gone unmarked of the last years’ events - the greatest values are off the map. The world is indeed changed. One year ago, the building industry was a record breaking investment climate, geared investments all the rage, and Iceland was the best country to live in.

The credit crunch charge was led by the focused and well oriented who knew exactly what they were doing and where they were going - until they fell over the edge. Directions didn’t help. It’s sometimes better to focus on difficult departures than falling in love with quick-‘n-easy destinations.

Therefore you should keep being curious! Lasting success is usually the result of equal parts of experiment, timing, and sheer audacity to look beyond the known framework. It’s not a wise strategy to just take the exact opposite direction, e.g. from risky turbo expansion to panicky cost reduction. That’s what rubber balls do. And they don’t do much else.

At NEXT no. 6 we threw away the compass and welcomed a time of new beginnings! We enjoyed
the conference for what it is: a wild chart and a spinning compass to whole NEW WAYS of THINKING!!!

A day of mind expansion!
