Switching from Kid Development to Entertainment strategy, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp kills the company. Shareholders must replace Mr.Knudstorp as much as possible if they wish to save Lego !!! Otherwise we will see just another stylized video-game maker. It is time to call Strivan Consulting.
Excellent interview - worth watching multiple times. I plan to share with my p**rs.
Fantastic questions...and answers.
An exceptional, high quality, high value interview. Jørgen Vig Knudstorp has real, boots-on-the-ground examples of applying strategy and principles and the interviewer does a fine job of encouraging him to convey these to us. It is rare to get more than flighty or easily ascribed ideas and reasons for successes - this is that rare occasion. I recommend it to anyone in business, running a business, venture or significant division of on or indeed to someone starting a new business venture. 20 minutes - time well spent. Thank you both.

A thoughtful, decent, and talented man. What a pleasure!
Excellent!!!! What a great CEO, and overall nice person.
incredible meeting .... WELL DONE --- but if you can make a feature to make the video fills the screen like youtube ... PLEASE.. to the best
Hej! Joergen interview is fantastisk! LEGO is more than a brand! LEGO is part of a culture, a way of understanding business and co-operative work! Well done! Tusind tak LEGO! Admire U from Spain!
This is a great, candid, grounded, and honest Guy. Jorgen, success story is his strength to come across honest, humble, and connecting with people. A great learning for a lot of leaders of today...People do matter and bring the best out of people is the key to success.
This was an excellent and well rounded reflection. My favorite quote:
I really quite admire Jorgen for his ability to focus on what's most important. I can imagine that many people in his position would not have made the decision to disregard the possibility of growth for an entire three years. The fact that he was able to focus solely on the product has meant that LEGO is still the same great brand that it always has been.
