“Anne Lise is very professional and great inspiration to work with. Her energy and strategic way of looking at trends and the future is rare and helpful for many small and large companies in this fast changing world.”
“Anne Lise Kjaer is an inspiring, motivating and innovative thinker. She breaks down borders, patterns and conventional thinking as she translates trends into actionable strategies and products. Her work and vision has been very useful for our organisation and clients. I was challenged as a leader and as a product developer in a productive and positive way. I will not hesitate to engage Anne Lise again and can highly recommend her to Bro Kommunikation's customers and associates.”
“Anne Lise spoke at TEDxSalford for us and was a true inspiration and delivered a perfect presentation.I would highly recommend her as one of the top people in her field.And hope to work with her in the future.”
“We just had a great process together with Anne Lise Kjaer and Sandra Elfort from Kjaer Global looking at how the future trends will impact the way we should run our business. Certainly, it inspires to think differently than what you do in your daily business life, thanks for a well-prepared workshop, super session and we look very much forward to the follow-up.”
“I co-organised the Cranfield Executive MBA Capstone conference for which we could get Anne Lise from Kjaer Global Ltd. as speaker and panellist. Her contribution was about the theme of “Daring to Risk Success and Tomorrow’s Global Citizens.” The depth and rigor of her studies, analysis and conclusions are not just helpful but truly inspiring. At the conference, Anne Lise was one of our top personalities and her passionate style and lateral thinking is very refreshing. She clearly added a lot of value to make this conference very successful. I would like to just highlight a few aspects of her work which were particularly well received: Anne Lise’s 4P Model, the notion of Betapreneurship, the Good Life, and her work about trend analysis and the Trend Atlas. Many of these sparked interesting discussions and opened up new opportunities for many conference attendees.”
“Anne Lise was keynote speaker at the Cranfield EMBA 12/13 First Flight conference themed “Dare to risk success”. She is an outstanding public speaker and generously blended her professional views as futurist with personal stories (never boring, never conventional), which was exactly the right approach to this audience and occasion. Anne Lise is a globally renowned futurist and I can only recommend her to any organisation planning ahead or any person curious on what may come.”
