Christopher Lyrhem is a futures analyst with a solid background in equity research and portfolio management, primarily at SEB. He has analysed a broad range of companies, industries and technologies, and is driven by the ambition both to understand and to explain major societal shifts at an early stage. His current focus areas include AI, robotics, autonomous mobility and simulation of the future.
Christopher is now building Disruptivity, an analysis and simulation company whose goal is to help entrepreneurs understand their operating environment, the future and the best strategy going forward. His latest book, General Theory of Disruptivity, describes disruption as a permanent societal phenomenon and explains how to emerge as a winner from both the current and coming mega-disruption created by AI. He also runs Disruptivity Times, the world’s first newspaper from the future.
Christopher’s keynote will address disruption over time, hypotheses on how the manufacturing sector may change in the years ahead, and how companies should activate a new type of strategy to tackle the future in the best possible way.
