Meet Our Guest – Dr. Finn Majlergaard:

Today’s guest is Dr. Finn Majlergaard, a cultural consultant bringing valuable insights to the table.

Finn’s Insights:

In today’s global landscape, understanding diverse cultures without resorting to stereotypes is crucial. Growing up in various places worldwide has made this second nature for me. Culture can unite people but can also be manipulated for political gain.

Our consulting company, founded nearly two decades ago, rejects stereotypes. We focus on understanding cultural dynamics and finding synergies.

For example, stereotypes about Germans and the French are inaccurate and hinder understanding. Open-mindedness is key.

In our work, we often address cultural mismatches within companies, aligning values with goals and fostering authenticity.

Post-merger cultural integration is another area where we excel, reshaping narratives and finding common ground.

Startups must prioritize diversity from the get-go. A diverse team prevents groupthink and fosters innovation.

Embracing periods of rest and contemplation is crucial for innovation. Disconnecting from busyness leads to breakthroughs.

A diverse startup community, grounded in a strong mission, fosters innovation and resilience.
