Frans Johansson

Frans Johansson's Speech Descriptions

Frans Johannson brings his own knowledge of living at the crossroads to explain that the most successful leaders in these complex and swiftly moving times are those who are intersectional. This means those who are willing to change perspectives and organizational structures in order to drive high performance and growth. Frans helps the audience to discover how they can become this type of leader.

Frans is a firm believer, as detailed in his book The Click Moment, in embracing unpredictability. He tears down the received wisdom of tried and tested formulas for success, showing how they often ignore the unexpected forces that actually drove them.

Diversity is more important in the global market than it has ever been, and Frans redefines the perception of it to show how companies already have diversity within their ranks. He demonstrates that the most innovative companies turn diversity into their most powerful competitive advantage.
