This month's talk: Urgency Rules – why a sense of urgency is the mother of all success.

What can working for the Red Cross in Bosnia during the Balkan wars possibly have in common with an IT company in Silicon Valley?

Why is winning Grill Fever 2014 (a Danish equivalent to master-chef) no different from doing a digital start up in Nottingham?

Martin will share his observations and experiences from start-ups, relief work, Silicon Valley and winning Grill fever 2014 and provide valuable, specific and practical insights for any entrepreneur or business manager. Besides his mantra of "urgency rules", Martin will touch on areas such as timing, selling and building a winning team.
