Can the “generalist” create more value in a boardroom context?
I enjoy dialogues in my network that present different perspectives and spark reflection—and last week, I discussed the role in a boardroom setting with someone I greatly appreciate having in my network. We touched on specialists and the broader profile, which I refer to as generalists. In the boardroom, we need to approach a company..

Strategic coherence
Through many years of working with strategy and management, I have gained deep knowledge in this field and the importance of focusing on it. Being in sync with the market requires a dual strategic focus—one that looks outward at external factors and inward at internal processes. This dual strategic focus is essential for creating a..

Adaptability is a Key Competitive Advantage
Everything moves quickly, and the traditional, linear approach may fall short in a world marked by rapid development. Some even speak of exponential growth – call it disruption, call it competition, call it development, or something else entirely – just don’t stand still in a dynamic world. Something new is needed, and this applies to..

Rethink
Rethink instead of repeat: Harnessing the driving force for continuous adaptation In our rapidly evolving environment, mere repetition of past practices falls short when aiming to navigate the complexities of the future.

The Role of Chief Sustainability Officer is Rapidly Evolving
It is my clear observation that the role of Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) is rapidly evolving as companies worldwide increasingly integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and sustainability into their overall strategies. As a consultant and board member, I have had the unique opportunity to witness and participate closely in this transformation, and it..

I believe that curiosity is an important ingredient in growth
I believe that curiosity is an important ingredient in growth, especially in a world of constant evolution and many other factors. We must approach the task with an open mind and let curiosity open doors to new opportunities. We can achieve this, among other things, by: – Explore – Ask questions – Challenge assumptions –..

Changes in the market require changes in strategy
Changes in the market require changes in strategy – are you on top of your growth strategy? One of my favorite questions when working with growth strategies and commercial tasks is: “Where will the growth come from?” There are always many exciting suggestions and good ideas for growth, but if we dig a bit deeper,..

Now, with a tremendous focus on AI, countless new opportunities are emerging – along with many new things to consider.

Shaping our strategy with sustainability principles at its core
Isn’t it inspiring to discuss about shaping our strategy with a strong focus on sustainability? We must decide whether sustainability is merely an add-on to our strategy or whether it becomes an integral part of our organizational ethos. The answer isn’t straightforward; it hinges on our current company state. However, one thing is certain: sustainability..

At arbejde med ESG/Bæredygtighed
Jeg har efterhånden arbejdet med bæredygtighed i en del år, både ift. at få defineret arbejdet med FNs 17 verdensmål, udarbejdet strategier for bæredygtighed og ikke mindst få udarbejdet bæredygtige strategier. Når jeg ser tilbage og reflekterer lidt over min rejse inden for bæredygtighed, ser jeg det som meget mere end en opgave, det er..

Your most valuable asset: people!
Reflecting on an older article/post I penned back in 2017 during my stint as a solo entrepreneur in version 1.0, I realize its relevance has only grown with time. In today’s ever evolving and dynamic landscape, characterized by complexity and uncertainty, the significance of leadership has only magnified. Strategic leadership, at its core, entails not..

When Operations Become a Barrier to Progress
When Operations Become a Barrier to Progress We must in no way neglect the importance of operations, as they keep the wheels turning and create value, but operations alone are not enough; there must also be progress. Full Speed Ahead in Place We operate in extremely dynamic environments, where unpredictability, challenges, and complexity push us..

Navigating complexity in a dynamic world
The business landscape is rife with geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and challenges within global trade, all of which contribute to the complexity of our environment. In such times, adaptation becomes imperative. We find ourselves needing to dedicate more time to risk analysis, adjust our strategies, and potentially recalibrate our actions while remaining steadfast in our..

Transformation, gearet til fremtidig vækst
Hvorfor overhovedet tale om transformation? Ændringer i vores omgivelser er jo ikke noget nyt som sådan, og vores verden har altid og vil altid være i et flow af skiftende markedsvilkår, udfordringer, nye krav og nye muligheder. Lige nu mødes vi blandt andet af makroøkonomiske, geopolitiske udfordringer, krav om øget bæredygtighed, ESG-rapportering, digitalisering og kunstig..

Are there any barriers to be aware of in transformation?
Er der nogle barrierer man skal være opmærksom på? Udfordringen er måske i virkeligheden at tilpasse sig lige så hurtigt, som verden ændrer sig, og mange står allerede midt i en transformation og oplever, at der er brug for en ledelsesmæssig tilpasning. Og ja, der er lige så mange barrierer som der er faktorer i..

What important elements can be involved in a transformation?
Der er mange faktorer i spil på en gang, når vi taler transformation og netop det stiller krav om at forsøge at skabe et overblik over de tiltag der er nødvendige at igangsætte. Ud fra min erfaring betyder det også, at de tre primære elementer til at drive en transformation er: – Et klart formål..

Commercial potential in Sustainability/ESG work
Bæredygtighed og ESG er efterhånden højt på den strategiske agenda, og ikke længere et ”nice-to-have” fokus. Derfor kan det med fordel integreres i den overordnede strategi og have et kommercielt sigte, så det ikke udelukkende bliver en rapporteringsopgave. Der er meget ofte et kommercielt potentiale i arbejdet med bæredygtighed og det kan være i form..

Is your company viable in 5-10 years with its current state?
Er din virksomhed levedygtig om 5-10 år, som den er i dag? Jeg oplever ofte, at virksomheder er udfordret på tiden ift. at balancere mellem drift og udviklingsopgaver, og jeg forstår ganske udmærket det dilemma. Men i en så foranderlig, udfordrende og usikker verden vi opererer i, er det vigtigt at finde en måde at..

Sustainability – Integral to the strategy
Jeg møder mange, der er i tvivl om, hvad bæredygtighed reelt er for en størrelse – og om det nu er noget for dem…Bæredygtig er noget for alle og omhandler blandt andet ESG – faktorer indenfor miljø, sociale og ledelsesmæssige punkter – som alle kan byde ind i og de fleste gør faktisk også allerede noget der understøtter bæredygtighed uden helt at vide det.
