Thinque Funky

Funky Thinking Keynotes, Thinque Tanks and Street Smart Corporate Training

The world has changed. And it’s just a little out of whack. Kids are now excelling in 2nd Life but flunking in first life, Maslow's Needs Hierarchy has been flipped on its head, and Big Brother is finally off air in Australia.

Because of Moore’s Law computer power doubles every 18 months, the economy is in a flux, and there is a real sense that the zeitgeist (spirit of our times) is going through a paradigm shift.

The question is - how are your business brains keeping up?

We offer solutions that provide GPS-like directions for organisations and individuals that want to successfully navigate a constantly changing business landscape and successfully position their business brains and creative ideas in a whacky world.

Are you nervously scratching your head because


  • the thinking that used to make you successful no longer reaps dividends?
  • the skills that you excel in are no longer rewarded like they used to be?
  • technological progress has overtaken your business brain progress?
  • you are seriously worried your business brains are redundant?
  • you are curiously wondering where business is headed?
  • you are confused how to best brand your business brains for success?
  • you don't know what forces are impacting your job/ business in 2009 and beyond?

If you answered yes to any of the above, my advice to you is to start upgrading your thinking immediately!

Who is the Funky Thinker who delivers these solutions?

Anders is a reformed lawyer, and the principal agent provocateur at Thinque, which he founded in 2005. Anders is a thought leader on innovation, change management and generational trends.

His keynotes, Thinque Tanks and mentoring provide GPS directions for organisations and individuals that want to successfully navigate a constantly changing business landscape and successfully position their creative ideas in a whacky world.

Anders provokes upgraded versions of thinking for brands like:

Apple - MTV - Johnson & Johnson - McCann Worldgroup - Macquarie Bank - ANZ - Singtel Optus - SAP - Wella - Schwarzkopf - Minter Ellison - Amgen - Travelscene American Express - Nutricia - Sydney Roosters.

He is the author of the manifesto Thinque Funky: Upgrade Your Thinking in Downgraded Times which is due for global release at designEX in Melbourne on 1 May 2009, and has previously authored Future Thinking: a trendspotting report, and the Gen Y 2.0 Limegreen Paper.

He is the creator of the popular podcast series ‘Thinque’s Espresso Shot’, a recent columnist for Australian Innovation Magazine ‘Anthill’, and has been interviewed on future trends by SBS, ABC and most importantly CLEO.

Swedish by origin, Anders grew up in Stockholm, learnt English and French in his second-language German, and emigrated to Australia aged 16. He completed bachelor degrees and graduate diplomas in Arts and Law on a scholarship at the Australian National University, and received a highly irrelevant ‘Specialisation in International Law’ from the University of Vienna.
