Episode 39
Brandpie
We’ve established across the mini-series so far that businesses in the Nordic region have their own, innate perception of how we do business - one which differs from the rest of the world.
The question we’re yet to answer is: How does Nordic leadership hold up when it’s applied at a global scale?
Scatec is the perfect case study for a Nordic business who refuses to sacrifice its values, or operate in a manner that’s untrue to itself.
Even if it results in short term pain, the focus is always on the long game.
Terje Pilskog has been in the renewable energy sector for two decades, and CEO of Scatec since 2022. His is an intriguing view on what happens when the beloved business practices of the Nordics coalesce with the chaos of global instability…
You will learn:
- How Nordic leadership traits become real competitive advantages when expanded globally
- Why Nordic economies are uniquely positioned to shape the global energy transition
- What Nordic businesses must do to move beyond their home markets
- How integrity and purpose can anchor company culture across territories
- Why speed, pragmatism and “good enough” solutions often matter more than perfection
🔑 Key Themes
- Nordic leadership on a global stage
- Trust not being mistaken for naivety
- Integrated execution in renewables
- Innovation, culture and change makers
- Balancing long-term purpose with short-term pressures
