My background

 

Over the years, I have worked for several large and leading companies in Scandinavia, and have led or participated in more than 15 organization re-design projects. I have also participated in process improvement projects and facilitated strategy development processes.

I have previously worked for Accenture, PA Consulting Group, and Aker Solutions. I now work as an independent consultant but also collaborate with other consultants from time to time.

I hold a master’s degree in psychology from McGill University and received my doctorate in management studies from Oxford University’s Said Business School.

In addition my client projects I spend quite a lot of time on developing new concepts, ideas and methods:

Book

I have written  a textbook that will be published by Pearson Education. Key topics are:

  • Organizational complexity and its consequences
  • Multidimensional organizational models
  • Methods for defining and improving sub-unit interfaces
  • The organization re-design process
The book can be ordered from Amazon’s UK site.

Articles

I have published several articles in refereed journals. The three most important ones are (click to see the abstract):

Strategic flexibility, modularity, and firm performance - published in Strategic Management Journal in 2002.

From organization development to change management - published in Journal of Applied Behavioral Science in 1999.

When theories become tools: Toward a framework for pragmatic validity - published in Human Relations in 2002.

I am currently working on three new articles that will be published during the next two or three years.
