The Swedish Market Research Day (Marknadsundersökningens Dag), arranged at Berns in Stockholm on March 11, has signed up one of Swedens most exciting and internationally experienced business speakers to hold the concluding presentation: Teo Härén. Teo has together with his twin brother Fredrik done a lot to enhance creativity in the business world, through numerous presentations, workshops and several books.

Teo has received a lot of attention for his book ”Härarbeta” (”Working here”, i e where you are right now), where he describes what you can gain from leaving the office now and then and how you make your boss realise why you get more creative if your not tied to a desk. Teo should know what he is talking about: he spends much of the Swedish winter in Zimbabwe.

Together with Fredrik Härén, he has founded interesting.org, where they help persons and organisations get more creative. Their two ”Idea books” are a valuable help in this work.

Teo and Fredrik were appointed ”Speaker of the Year” 2006/2007 by the Swedish Event Academy. He has been appointed one of Swedens most inspiring persons and owns two patents. At the Swedish Market Research Day he will speak about, well, have a guess!

Teo Härén will present in English.
