Great Finnish Stories in Outlier and
Black Swan Framework
• Defies Prediction
• Makes a Massive Impact
• We make up Explanations
Afterward
Have we ever had any, and
why are they so important today?
• Endowed with an unfair
advantange.
• Extreme practice and work
1. The Counter-Intuitive Reality of the Black Swan
Link11
2. On Risk-taking and Failure…
• Ecosystem: promotes
pioneering spirit embracing
uncertainty, risk-taking and
tolerating failure
• Entrepreneur: You must not
fail! (but its OK if you do,
keep trying!)
You just cannot have a Plan B !!Link Link
12
3. On Youth and Energy…
• Ecosystem: Attract founders,
who are ideally young, energetic
and possibly migrants, and
support them patiently
• Entrepreneur: Start early!
Universities will probably drive
the next Black Swan. And,
DON’T BE PATIENT!

4. On Customers…
• Ecosystem: Willing customers
participate in trial and error
process with innovators.
• Entrepreneur: Get out of the
office all the time – live and
breathe with customers.
And customers:
if you don’t pay,
you are part of
the product or
service, act like
it!
Link16
5a. On Teams
• Ecosystem: Freedom offered to
talent who should not be
snatched from start-ups. Talent
(and capital!) MUST be mobile!

wherever they come from (and
many will come from abroad!)
