There are decisions you can’t always discuss with your leadership team. Not because the team isn’t capable, but because CEOs also need a space where they can admit uncertainty. A space to ask: What am I missing? Is this the right direction? What am I not seeing? Is my team the right for the company?..
Growth, complexity and the human side of transformation The world is open to more possibilities than ever before. New technologies, new markets, new business models and new ways of creating value are expanding what companies can do. Yet navigating this landscape is becoming increasingly complex. The pace is faster. The choices are more interconnected. And..
Today is World Heart Day. A good opportunity to reflect on what it takes to create a healthy environment – including in leadership. Throughout my career, I’ve been part of many different leadership rooms. Over time, I’ve become increasingly aware of the pulse within them. You can feel it in the energy, the conversations, the..
I’ve had a number of interesting conversations with CEOs over the past few weeks. Different companies, different situations, but many of the same challenges keep coming up. Competition is intensifying. Sales need to grow. Customers expect more. At the same time, AI, new technologies and the opportunities to rethink workflows and business models are taking..
I rarely come across a company today where something isn’t in motion. A new strategy. New technology or AI. Changing customer needs. Growth, new markets or a stronger focus on sustainability. But I also find that we sometimes make transformation more abstract than it needs to be. To me, transformation is about moving a company..
I believe in boards where people can disagree – and still be on the same team. To me, that is one of the most important foundations for effective and value-creating board work. A good board does not necessarily need to agree on everything. It needs to create a space where different perspectives can be brought..
It is one of the questions I think is asked far too rarely in the boardroom. We talk a lot about growth, new markets, new customers, new products, new investments and new initiatives. But every time we say yes to something new, we also commit time, money and leadership capacity. That is why what we..
The world doesn’t stand still. Neither do we. Change comes from many directions at once. Technology is moving fast. AI is changing the way we work. Organisations, markets and employee expectations are constantly evolving. And in the middle of it all stands the leader – responsible for direction, results and the people who are expected..
One of the things I find interesting about board work is the balance between protecting what works – while at the same time challenging the company to evolve. Because what has created success is not necessarily what will carry the company forward. As a board, we therefore need to look beyond the results of today…
It is there every day. New technologies, changing customer needs, new business models and new competitors are constantly shifting the conditions for how companies create value. That is why transformation, to me, is not only about responding to change. It is about strengthening the company’s competitive strength. That requires leadership to continuously ask some fundamental..
Growth and Value Perspectives – when growth and value merge We often talk about growth as something that means *more*: more customers, bigger market shares, higher revenue. But does growth only make sense when it simultaneously creates value – for the organization, for employees, for customers, and for society? Challenges as a space of opportunity..
Sustainability isn’t (just) for the big players. And it’s no longer something you can postpone. Customers, partners and investors increasingly demand responsibility – also from SMEs. And no – you don’t need to write an ESG report tomorrow. But you *do* need to ask the question: How can we work more sustainably – in a..
Omnichannel, Trust, and Bringing Traffic Back to the Store: Are We Seeing a Comeback for Physical Retail? More and more webshops are popping up – but not all are what they claim to be. Fake images, products that fail to meet expectations, false reviews, and non-existent customer service have, unfortunately, become part of the online..
The other day, I attended an interesting networking event where the theme was the future of the sales team—something close to my heart. It inspired me to revisit some of my previous articles from 2024. The theme? Curiosity as a driver of growth. Curiosity as a Driver of Growth I see curiosity as a key..
KOM – Keep On Moving: Always in Motion, Always Changing In a world defined by constant change and unpredictability, it’s essential for businesses, leaders, and individuals to keep moving. This means being adaptable and open to new impulses and insights, even when they may seem complex or overwhelming. KOM = Keep On Moving is my..
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 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. To stay relevant, we must be proactive in aligning with market demands and acquiring the necessary skills for success. The catalyst for progress..
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..
