Norges Bank Investment Management
About this episode

In this episode of In Good Company, Nicolai Tangen welcomes Lars Strannegård, President of the Stockholm School of Economics, to explore why art and culture are essential in shaping tomorrow’s business leaders. Strannegård shares how exposing students to creative expression builds empathy, enhances learning, and strengthens uniquely human skills that AI can't replicate. Ever wondered why reading fiction makes you a better leader? Or what business schools can learn from art museums? From the role of storytelling in leadership to the future of education in an AI-driven world, this conversation challenges conventional ideas about what makes great leaders. Tune in!


In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.


The production team for this episode includes Isabelle Karlsson and PLAN-B's Niklas Figenschau Johansen, Sebastian Langvik-Hansen and Pål Huuse. Background research was conducted by Sara Arnesen.
