About Martijn Aslander

Martijn Aslander is a stand-up philosopher, boardroom sparring partner and co- author of the bestsellers Easycratie (Easycracy) and Nooit Af (The Permanent Beta Principle). He built the largest dolmen in the world, cofounded Lifehacking and Permanent Beta (‘bridging brains, tech and culture’). Both on stage and in his publications he passionately maps technology’s complex impact on society.

Martijn Aslander looks at the world through a societal and economical lens. He explains the effects of new technologies on society and the economy. He describes current and future implications of these developments on the networked information society. He is a hands-on inspirator who synthesizes much of what is going on in this world, what visionary authors, scientists and thinkers have to say about this. Martijn merges this into a comprehensible picture of what is going on and what it means for organisations, business models, markets and innovation. His unique ability to challenge business leaders and help them to think outside of the box has landed him in boardrooms all over the world. He helps leaders of global brands to future-proof their operations.
