My name is Petter Kolseth and I’m a Future Strategist!

My company has the somewhat strange name nsieme consulting. The Italian word insieme has the meaning together, as in together with my customer.

I worked earlier on for many years as a researcher in paper and print. First at the Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute (that became Innventia, today part of RISE).I then moved to the Stora Enso paper company. My work at Stora Enso gradually became focused on how ink on paper is being influenced by new digital media. When Stora Enso closed its Research Centre in Falun, it felt natural for me to engage in trend tracking and scenario analysis. So I took a course at Kairos Future to become a future strategist with the objectives to guide my client through a process, where the client is doing as much work as I in a series of workshops on trend tracking, scenario analysis, and strategy development.

Sadly, I had to quit my freelancing career, taking a new job as a teacher i Graphic Design at Dalarna University. Coming of age, I am now retired, but I’m still open inspirational presentations on how to find out how we may be affected by what’s going on around us.

Good CD stores were my passion. The picture shows me checking out music at the Shirokko shop in München, that was next door to my favourite hangout Bar Centrale… I have included a video here.
