Navigating the Future

18 Aug 2025: I am  currently developing an online program for business professionals : Which are the critical skills  you need to navigate in  the AI Economy? And how do you master these skills. If you want to know more pls reach out.

30 July 2025: First 'Quick Truth' video out - check it on YouTube https://youtu.be/idAGzVdByhA or here on MiD website. This is the first in a series of short 'Quick Truth' videos.

08 July 2025: Last week I had the opportunity to present MiD at an event at the National Gallery here in Singapore - organised by DBS Bank. I spoke about expanding my portfolio with AI business consulting - driven by my deep dive into Emergihng Technologoes and GenAI in my DBA program at Golden Gate University.

20 June 2025: On 18-19 June I attended the 2-day Super AI conference at Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Centre here in Singapore. I will write an article on my impressions and what I learned. A very interesting range of presentations by experts and practitioners of AI around the world - in small/big companies as well as in government agencies.

16 May 2025: I am well into the first module of my DBA degree program. This coming week we will start the 3rd module (of 7) on AI Project Design & Execution. Exciting. And I sincerely hope that I will get the opportunity to translate all the new knowledge into business value and new opportunities for my clients.

18 April 2025: Listen to my latest episode of my podcast 'Keep Playing'. This time about legendary Formula One driver Niki Lauda. In this episode I dive into the extraordinary story of one very special Formula One driver whose resilience, precision, and leadership transformed both motorsport and business thinking. Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2006788/episodes/16988036

14 April 2025: Q12025 was a a good start to the year for MiD. Sales on budget, new client on board, client feedback excellent and new exciting projects in the pipeline. Looking forward to keeping up the momentum in Q2.

01 April 2025: Two out of four: I have done two 'Top 10 Skills for the Future' presentations together with New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Singapore - Leadership and Critical Thinking. Next week it will be Innovation, and then Complex Problem Solving end of April.

25 March 2025: I have spending quite some time on self-learning Microsoft Power BI to become better at managing data visualisation. I want to continiously become better at servicing my clients in as many ways as I can.

07 March 2025: So yesterday I participated in the panel discussion with the Chinese University Hong Kong and a group of professors in Singapore. A great discussion and some tough and interesting questions from the MBA students.

27 Feb 2025: I have been invited to join as a panellist on March 6 in a discussion about Leadership in a globalised world. Thanks to Tembusutech Singapore and Hong Kong University for the invitation.

13 Feb 2025: Read my latest LinkedIn article 'Germany’s Digital Nightmare: Cash, Fax Machines, and a Race Against Time'. The link is here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/germanys-digital-nightmare-cash-fax-machines-race-time-daugbjerg-sxyic/?trackingId=X7SERvUzQMuJMhAzpBunaw%3D%3D

12 Feb 2025: I have received my Golden Gate University student card. See here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asgerdaugbjerg/

04 Feb 2025: I have started teaching agriculture and farming students in Business Economics. This is my second batch with VG (vghf.dk), and I love every second. The students are all highly motivated, and as many of them plan to take over/start their own farm they have more than a general interest in how to manage the business and financial side of running a farm.

15 Jan 2025: My latest LinkedIn article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fall-west-how-china-redefining-global-industry-asger-daugbjerg-nyerf

20 Dec 2024: My final LinkedIn article this year called 'Throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks' highlights an agile business strategy: testing multiple ideas ("throwing spaghetti at the wall") to see what works, focusing on client excellence, adaptability, and innovation in a fast-changing business world. Here is the link: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-business-strategy-throwing-spaghetti-wall-seeing-what-daugbjerg-k8mmc/

26 Nov 2024: I am currently finalising my latest 'Keep Playing' podcast episode. In Episode 24 I will discuss American gymnast Simone Biles. Her resilience, innovation, and leadership offer powerful takeaways for business, including prioritizing well-being, embracing flexibility, and leading with authenticity. Episode 24 will be out on all leading podcast platforms this week.

08 Nov 2024: Greetings from Miami. Just completed a four-day Leadership workshop for a client. Focus on building leadership competences and ability to tackle challenging situations. Client rated the workshop value 9,41 on 1-10 scale. 

10 Oct 2024: Visiting TechWeek, Marina Bay Sands Expo. A huge technology event for business in Asia. You definitely get the impression that the world stands on the brink of a tech revolution - however, the event seemed to be more focused on the tech side itself, rather than the business opportunities or disruptive impact on human kind.

26 Sep 2024: I often talk about 'Resilience' - the ability to bounce back when you run into problems. Now, a few days ago I had the chance to practice what I preach. During a video conference with a client I sunddenly lost sound - or rather none of the other participants could hear a word of what I said. I was about to panic, and despite what I did to rectify the problem, nothing worked. So the meeting was not ideal to put it mildly. But as I could hear everybody else, I followed up with a written document with my reflections and key takeaways. So at least instead of despairing I did what I could under the circumstances.

10 Sep 2024: Have a listen to the latest episode of 'Keep Playing' - the podcast about what business professionals can learn from the world of sports. This episoe is about Ayrton Senna, arguably the greatest Formula One driver of all times. His relentless pursuit of excellence is an inspiration to all business professionals. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2006788/15719174

12 Aug 2024: New book on my reading list: 'Supercommunicators' by Charles Duhigg - How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.

08 May 2024: This weekend I start a three week business trip to Europe - three weeks packed with client meetings. But I do have a few open slots while in Copenhagen 22-24 May. Do reach out if you want to meet. Perhaps I can help your business as well.

25 April 2024: MiD Q1 revenue result was below budget. However, forecast for Q2 looks very promising. So, when we reach July MiD should be able to look back on the 1st half of 2024 with complete satisfaction. The joy of running a project-based company! Some months are challenging, others deliver great results. You never really know. But as long as it all levels out on a running 6 or 12-month period I am happy.

08 Aug 2023: You should read the Gallup report 'State of the Global Workplace'. One of the key observations is that most people are not engaged in their work (some are actually actively disengaged). This leads not only to unhappy employees, but also to significant loss of productivity. They key answer to address this critical issue is to build a stronger workplace culture and better leaders.

10 Feb 2022: Congratulations to Aileen Gu on winning Gold in Freestyle Skiing at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Still, I would be careful as a sponsor using Ms. Gu. She can easily be caught up in politics, and if she - deliberately or not - takes a side  (US or China), the sponsors can quickly find themselves in deep water. Is the risk worth it?

01 Feb 2022: Happy Chinese New Year to all. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Welcome to the Year of the Tiger!
