Taking a board to a living workshop

Watching modern art by Arman, especially his Accumulation Renault, reveals this connection in action. A central figure of the Nouveau Réalisme movement, Arman transformed everyday industrial objects into striking visual statements, reminding us that innovation often emerges where commerce and creativity meet.

Taking a board to a living workshop, arranged by my team, to an art museum highlights the enduring link between art and business. Renault’s involvement shows how a brand can move beyond industry, using creativity to shape identity, culture, and strategic visibility.

I have been working with well-known business leaders, investors, and ambassadors.

I have represented stock exchange-listed companies, nations, and cities, with access and entry to renowned organizations and influential networks.

Most of my work has been powered by my intellect, business acumen, know-how, and experience.

Yet, behind all my endeavors, advancement, and accomplishments, there is one person whose support makes everything possible for me.

-Whenever I’m alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again.

Man and machine. A semi-human being – integrating AI into business

May 15, 2025 | Blog, Joakim

Man and machine. A semi-human being.

For over two years, I’ve operated at the intersection of human intuition and AI. Each business day, I’ve embedded artificial intelligence into sharp, high-paced projects in the corporate world.

I’ve tested a wide range of systems across different tasks, and one thing is clear: the most effective tools don’t always come from the tech giants. Still, Google and Adobe have made notable strides this year.

Right now, the platforms that stand out most are ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Runway, and Midjourney. Claude has become a reliable engine for managing complex data, while ChatGPT continues to broaden its capabilities with each update.

Several emerging AI solutions from Asia show promise, though they’re not yet stable enough for daily use. The pace of change is rapid—new tools enter my workflow almost every day.

Revitalizing Board Engagement: Dynamic Workshop Sessions in London’s Elegant Tea Salons

Revitalizing Board Engagement: Dynamic Workshop Sessions in London’s Elegant Tea Salons

Feb 10, 2024 | Board of Directors, Joakim

Among the board workshop sessions that I most enjoy and am proud to have created through my know-how, experience, and network, are those designed to infuse boards with a sense of inspiration and vitality. The latest session was hosted in a sophisticated salon located in a prominent area of London, renowned for its elegant atmosphere and distinguished setting. This environment was specifically chosen to foster a sense of inspiration and vitality among the board members.

The session uniquely blends a tea lunch with the privilege of accessing a reading room, along with a stimulating task. Each board member is challenged to identify three headlines in international newspapers that are relevant to business or business development, focusing on business prospects over the next 1-3 years.

This methodology aligns with the vital role that boards play in the formulation of an organization’s strategic goals. It demands a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and evolving trends. Effective boards transcend the traditional role of merely approving strategies; they are actively involved in shaping them, contributing invaluable perspectives and insights from their diverse experiences and expertise.

I am going to the Design Museum in London with a company’s board to provide a tangible experience and conduct a workshop on the importance of design in business.

Design in business is vital; it transcends aesthetics, fundamentally shaping product functionality and user experience, which are essential for driving innovation and market differentiation—key factors for a company’s success and adaptability in a fast-changing market.
