EF Dinner - Outside Insight with Jorn Lyseggen

Outside Insight

Jorn Lyseggen is the CEO of Meltwater: a company that develops and markets media monitoring and business intelligence software. The company was founded in 2002 in a shack in Norway with just $15,000 start-up money. Now, the company employs more than 1,000 people in 60 offices across six continents and has over 23,000 clients across the world. Jorn also founded the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology, a training programme and seed fund for African entrepreneurs.

In Outside Insight, Lyseggen argues that the Internet has changed the way we make decisions but the way executives make decisions hasn't changed at all. Board members focus on internal data when everyday competitors are leaving behind online breadcrumbs filled with valuable external data. This could be a job advert, filing a new patent, launching a new product, social media and more. Using insights gleaned from this data will help companies to look ahead and make more informed decisions.

Lyseggen is the leader who first explained how to think differently about data, and his team is leading the charge in helping companies make better business decisions.”
