The world is changing
The same applies to needs and markets. The organisational framework changes. Business models are changing. And the demands for the pace of implementation of transformations are changing. Therefore, there is often a need for transformations of businesses either as a response to or in preparation for change.
Competitiveness, and sometimes survival, is often linked to the company's ability to break with past practices. But at the same time, the more classical management skills are still current.
I focus on areas where, with my experience and management skills, I can assist companies in planning and implementing important changes.
Merger/Acquisition
The conditions for mergers and acquisitions have somewhat changed as companies and their management have gained greater insight into the challenges and requirements that arise from merging multiple businesses. But the challenges are many, and the complexity has not changed significantly. Momentum is important for successful integration, and good risk assessment and management can, through good preparation and planning, ensure effective execution with a focus on the chosen business elements.
I have worked with integration and mergers for several years, and therefore have experience with many of these areas, including business transfers, change management, restructuring and organisational adjustments, system integration and strategy work and execution.
Restructuring
Restructurings can be extremely extensive. Sometimes almost exhausting. There are many factors to take into account when the many changes involved with restructuring are to be optimally implemented, while achieving the targets.
Several years of management experience at all levels in different types of companies with varying strategic agendas have given me the ballast and experience to facilitate and support decision-making processes that contribute to precise and targeted execution of the chosen business model and organisation.
Change of ownership / Generational change
Change of ownership / Generational change is a large and demanding task, and it is extensive to prepare for the many areas affected by the sale or generational change of companies. Both the strategic "soft" and the technical "hard" considerations.
Through my experience from different types of companies with varying ownership forms, I have an understanding of the variety and essential nuances, cultures and values, and can help build bridges and create a common foundation for the future.
Business development
Business development is many things. This could be starting new business units or areas. Or target new products, solutions, strategies, or organizational forms. Business development is fundamentally securing the future of the company. A comprehensive strategic and specialised task that should not be underestimated. A systematic approach to the task, and a well-founded selection between the many possibilities, is often the difference between success and failure.
A combination of my educational background and practical experience ensure the right focus, based on analytic and strategic preparation.
Reconstruction
When times suddenly change, the accident happens or something else unexpected happens, action is needed. Most distressed companies can be rescued by reconstruction. If it turns out that a reconstruction is the only rescue, rapid action that large losses can be avoided.
With extensive experience from many management disciplines, I can contribute with overall sparring and execution in relation to the outside world. Reconstruction is associated with extremely important tasks, often performed under great pressure. I can help create an overview and support development through a focused effort.
