OUR JOURNEY
Sparking a renaissance in Sweden
Inspired by the 12th-century polymath Averroes, Intelligent Fortune was founded in 2013 by Pontus Svensson. Intelligent Fortune works to create modern-day polymaths, people who are able to draw from a wide variety of disciplines and knowledge to solve specific problems. Averroes’ commentaries on Aristotle’s works gave new relevance to the ancient Greek’s groundbreaking ideas. The influence of Averroes’ writings spread far and wide, serving as one of the sparks which began the Renaissance and brought Europe out of the Dark Ages.
Today, Intelligent Fortune’s mission is to take Time and Space out of the Dark Ages and create a new renaissance by applying science to our everyday performance. By helping create stronger individuals, the Time and Space program lays a strong foundation for any team and organization. Data-driven methods help our clients connect the dots between understanding and achieving and will efficiently enable you to reinvest time, energy and resources into improving performance.
The power of significance: unlocking your main drivers to success
About the founder
During 25 years of entrepreneurship in Europe, South and North America, Pontus Svensson has met many highly innovative people from diverse cultures. The common trait all these people share is the desire to keep achieving more and more over time. Truly driven people are often looking for practical solutions to improve their personal performance. But the majority of self-improvement platforms do not align with reality, and thus, don’t lead to real results.
In 2011, Pontus attended an event hosted by Bengt Johannisson, an award-winning Swedish professor of entrepreneurship. At the event, Pontus and Dr. Johannisson discussed how we can achieve more as individuals by examining what is truly significant in our lives. Professor Johannisson encouraged Pontus to dive deeper into his theories about maximizing performance in both sport and business. With that inspiration, Pontus set out to create Time and Space Methodology.
While developing this innovative process for sustainable success, Pontus has spent years cross-referencing research from a range of sciences and disciplines. His unique approach to personal performance development has caught the attention of high-profile experts in various fields and in top organizations, resulting in collaboration with professionals at a top 10 Fortune 500 company, amongst others. Today, he is excited to share his Time and Space Concept with the world.
Harnessing knowledge for positive change
Today, there is more information available than ever before, but too often, it’s not managed optimally, and is inaccessible to the people who need it most. Valuable information is siloed in different systems or teams. This results in a knowledge gap that leads to frustration, poor performance, and inefficiencies.
At Intelligent Fortune we don’t hoard knowledge. We embrace transparency and instead prefer to help our partners feel inspired to trust, evolve, and overcome. Together, we connect the dots and aspire to elevate performance with everyone we work with.
Building on a history of Swedish innovation
Far in the north of Europe, lies Sweden, a country roughly the size of California, with a population of just over 10 million people. Despite being quite small, Sweden’s forward-thinking culture of innovation has had a great impact on the world.
Looking back, the people of Sweden have never been afraid to innovate. That innovative spirit was evident more than a thousand years ago when the Vikings found new ways to build ships and navigate the sea. They went on to conquer new frontiers and trade with cultures all over the world before settling down in Europe, as well as North America.
This spirit of innovation was passed on to the polymath Alfred Nobel – a modern-day renaissance man. Nobel was a scientist, businessman and a philanthropist who first invented dynamite before going on to establish the Nobel Prize. Over the years pioneers in industry and manufacturing have followed in Nobel’s footsteps. Volvo, Ericsson, IKEA, and Koenigsegg are Swedish heavyweights that have gone on to reshape the world around us with their innovative thinking. Swedish tech giants – Skype, Spotify and Candy Crush Saga – began as start-ups before evolving into some of today’s most recognizable – and important – global brands to ever exist.
Swedish performers such as ABBA, Roxette, Max Martin and Swedish House Mafia have been topping the pop charts around the globe for decades. Elsewhere, we also see quite a few Swedish actors – such as The Skarsgårds, Noomi Rapace, Alicia Vikander and Joel Kinnaman – in top grossing films. Swedish athletes have also excelled in the sports of soccer, hockey, golf, and tennis. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Peter Forsberg, Annika Sörenstam and Björn Borg to name a few.
