In this keynote, Trinetra's CIO, Tassos Stassopoulos explores the transformative power of shifting perspectives, inspired by Alan Kay’s insight that "a change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points." Drawing on examples from history, popular culture, and personal experience, Stassopoulos illustrates how stepping away from traditional, specialised thinking can lead to ground-breaking solutions. He challenges the audience to embrace cognitive flexibility, integrating diverse disciplines like anthropology, sociology, and sustainability into finance to uncover deeper insights and create long-term value.
Through engaging stories—from the legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill to the unexpected success of Sony’s Walkman—Stassopoulos demonstrates how thematic thinking can reveal hidden opportunities that taxonomic approaches often miss. He shares real-world examples, such as his ethnographic study in India and a collaborative project with Alsea in Mexico, to show how understanding human behaviour and cultural context can drive innovative investment strategies. These insights highlight the importance of looking beyond conventional financial analysis to address complex challenges.
Join Tassos Stassopoulos as he makes a compelling case for adopting a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Discover how combining diverse perspectives can lead to transformative outcomes, not just in finance but across industries. This speech is a must-watch for anyone seeking to break free from rigid thinking and unlock new possibilities in their professional and personal lives.
