Current Concepts

Law as part of management work

To be a public leader is to have a job where legal matters weigh heavily, and where the expectations -- from the political leadership, top management and citizens, associations and companies -- are that the leader has a handle on it.

To be a public leader is to have a job where legal matters weigh heavily, and where the expectations -- from the political leadership, top management and citizens, associations and companies -- are that the leader has a handle on it.

At the same time, the public leader often experiences having to meet contradictory demands. The professionalism must be in place, tasks must be accomplished within budget, citizens must be involved, digitization must occur. And it must all be legal. All at once.

Law, in particular, can sometimes be perceived as a buffer for everything else that a public leader must also succeed in. For some, the solution becomes to close their eyes and hope for the best. But what if the law wasn't a hindrance, but rather a help for the leader in solving their tasks?

Our Process

Every mind into the game!

Traditional management and organisation models often do not support the ambitions inherent in vision and strategy. It takes something else and more to succeed today and in the future. There is a need for more flexible forms of organisation, cross-border cooperation, leadership and actions that cross sectors and create new partnerships.

We challenge our clients, both public and private, to bring their customers, users, citizens, boards and political actors into both the development and realization of visions and strategies. It creates new ideas across the board and ensures the necessary and crucial ownership that is the prerequisite for action and acceleration of result creation. Every mind into the game!

In Resonans, through our approach and cooperation with our customers and partners, we contribute to solutions to wildly complex problems such as labour shortages, the green transition and health inequalities and insecurity.
