Across to Oslo a couple of days ago to speak at a conference hosted by the Business for Peace Foundation. Love the city: maybe it’s genetic – when I had my genes tested by 23andMe, the Scandinavian signal was very pronounced, via the Vikings and Normans. My bother Gray tracked the family vine back to Rollo the Ganger, after of William the Conqueror – who I had always seen as the arch enemy.
A bunch of people I knew at the conference, among them Jane Nelson and Paul Polman of Unilever, but also a whole range of people who were new to me. Included a lovely dinner with the Crown Prince Haakon and his wife – delightful couple – at his home outside the city. During the visit, I went across to a Nexus event to speak alongside Jan-Olaf Willums. Wish I could see how the two of us looked through their eyes …
