Cases

I work in real-time to let new behaviors lead to new outcomes while learning is grounded in reality (look below for cases). This way impact is usually obtained on three levels:

Leadership capability

Future leadership mindset is translated into new practices and behaviours.

Business impact

Performance is lifted by having more people take on more responsibility.

Cultural change

Building a culture of leadership across the organisation.

Step by step they have achieved spectacular progress, revolutionizing how they collaborate with suppliers and customers, as well as speeding up new distribution centres with more than a year, while at the same time meeting all targets.

Danish Heart Foundation

(Hjerteforeningen)

Like other NGO’s, the Danish Heart Foundation had experienced changing market conditions over the last couple of years and needed to adjust to the new situation.

This meant they needed to be more focused on where to make a difference, rethink and prioritise how they used their resources, while at the same empower their people to drive progress and results.

I worked for the CEO to assist in setting a clear and compelling strategic intent, building commitment, changing the organisation, and set up initial training for leaders and key people to nurture and facilitate the change.
