EdTech Founders

Mar 22 2023 • 33 mins

In this episode: We interview Thomas I. Tveteraas Helgø who is the founder of Society Lab, a Norwegian digital learning agency that helps increase an organisation's ability to lead transformation.

We talk about: Why it is more than ever crucial to focus on learning to support transformation in companies, what the actual competitor of corporate learning is, how to build a culture that lasts and why it is important to sleep at night as a founder and lots more.

Outtakes:

  • And we set out and said, how can we help companies, learn as fast as the change that is going around them.
  • The consultant usually brings around great answers like the fish, but we are trying to help the clients fish.
  • There's two ways about building a company. It's telling the people what to do. For example, build a ship or making them long for the sea. And building culture is about helping people connect to the dream of the sea.
  • Learning is much more of a mindset than actually learning specific topics.
