An introduction to Peter Österberg, Ph.D. Psychology

My name is Peter Österberg, I'm a psychological scientist. I'm from Sweden, but I live in Helsingfors.

I'm a former performance coach, and I have a PhD in work and organizational psychology, especially about executive leadership, decisions making, organizational learning, entrepreneural thinking, and social creativity for problem-solving and innovation. I'm an expert in anthropological/evolutionary social neuropsychology, including social aspects of human emotions.

Currently I offer courses, speaking partner services, and coaching at master class level for companies and organizations in Europe (the rest of the world is off course ok, but needs a little moore planning).

Typical themes: executive functions, prospection, for example, leadership, decision making, work climate, organizational learning, entrepreneurial thinking, and social creativity for problem-solving and innovation, as well as and nutrition psychology – how we think about food and food influence hos we thing.

Formal education:

1. Business administration. Market analysis (DIHM), and MSc, organizational learning (quantitative) (Österberg, 2002).
   
   
2. Psychology. BA, experimental emotional psychology (Österberg, 2001), MSc social psychology (Österberg, 2004), and work– and organizational psychology (Österberg, 2012).

After Daniel Kahneman was awarded the prize in economy in memory of Alfred Nobel, I was recruited to the only fully financed position at a faculty to write my doctoral thesis. Part of the agreement included that I would help established researchers with methodological issues.

During my doctoral Journey, I was assigned to various university colleges (n>10) to lecture in topics like creativity for problem-solving and innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and leadership.

I defended my PhD in psychology at Lund universitet (Österberg, 2012).

In August 2018, I was again recruited, this time to be a research-leader for a project at the University of Helsingfors, to answer the question: What is the future of Finnish agriculture from a perspective of rational entrepreneurial thinking? (Österberg, 2021).

During that project, I sort of drifted into nutrition psychology (Österberg, 2019, 2020, a, b, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).

Here is a link to a summary of the project.
