With AI and technology growing so much, we might be forgetting the importance of human intelligence in the advancement of our future. A lot of us know about growing and protecting our financial capital but not many people know or talk about how to grow your intellectual capital or what it is for that matter. Today we talk to Leif about what intellectual capital is and how we can assess it so that we can map its future.

00:40- About Leif Edvinsson

• Professor Leif Edvinsson is a key pioneering contributor to the theory and practice of Intellectual Capital(IC). 
• The world’s first director of IC in 1991. Prototyping in 1996 the Skandia Future Center as Lab for Organizational design. 
• In 1998, awarded by Brain Trust “Brain of the Year” award, in the UK. Listed in Who’s Who in the world.

08:12 – Is it going to be a gray area when describing intellectual capital?

• This is why the Securities and Exchange Commission was so eager to describe it in an orderly manner.
• That might be detrimental because it is probably a rosy area where you don’t know what the future will be.
• Then I started to develop the concept of navigator because you don’t know where you are moving. 

13:43 – How do you help people improve their intellectual capital?

• I start by taking the initial salary as a proxy to assess their intellectual capital to form a base from where we can start. But that is just the first indication of it.
• The correct assessment is the value that you are adding to your organization. 
• There are a number of inroads to get to actually get an idea of someone’s intellectual capital. 

24:30 – Where do you get your inspiration from?

• My inspiration was coming very much from the context and culture of Berkley because the whole educational program there was very different from Sweden.
• The next critical dimension is traveling. I have been among different cultures. I have been to around 100 different countries in the world now.
• The third key area for my inspiration is soft knowledge. What it means is that how you make the world more innovative not for you but for the coming generation.
