About Us

We are Resonans

We empower you to realize your vision and strategy by mobilizing and activating the many important stakeholders within and around you, so that together you create swift and enduring results that surpass what you thought possible.

Vision

We aim to create more courageous and decisive organizations that take collective responsibility for the world they are part of.

Strategy realization requires resonance with the strategy: understanding its rhythm, being able to synchronize with others — and to act. Therefore, a strategy holds no inherent value on its own. It is a collection of good intentions on a piece of paper, like notes on a sheet of music. It's only when someone within the organization seizes it and intends to do something with it that the strategy comes to life.

For us, this is the core distinction between implementing and realization — being resonant, so one can both hear what needs to be done and have the courage and desire to experiment with it.

At Resonant, we challenge what organizations and people within and around them are capable of, so that resonance arises between what they want, can and do.

For more than 20 years, we have challenged conventional thinking and strengthened collective action by showing new paths to collaborations and partnerships. All in order to create faster, sustainable and enduring results.

And resonance.

About Resonans

We challenge what organizations and those around them are capable of

Resonans is the Danish version of the English word resonance and is derived from the Latin word resonantia, which means echo or reverberation. The word is made up of ‘re’, meaning back or new, and ‘sonare’, which means to sound. Resonance has always been a central part of our DNA, and thus it was only natural for us to adopt the name Resonans when we established our company 20 years ago. Back then, we took our inspiration from the book Into the music in which the physicist and musician Peter Bastian explains the concept of resonance.

As a physical phenomenon, resonance arises when a system is affected by a frequency corresponding to its natural frequency. When this happens, the system starts oscillating, and as it takes a long time for it to stop a great amount of energy can be stored in the system, which might lead to wide fluctuations.

Strategy realization requires that you resonate with your strategy: that you follow the beat and that you are able to vibrate in unison with other people – and to act.

Our Approach

We attach importance to...

Strategic focus

Focus on working in a structured way with business development up against the organization's strategy.

Strength-based

We discover and amplify the positive experiences organizations have and meet them at their developmental needs, showing them that they are capable of much more than they believe.

Action-based

We emphasize that participants test concrete development initiatives in practice during the process, and that meetings and dialogues are connected to the organization's everyday practices along the way.

Innovation in practice

We invite organizations to be inspired and explore new ways of implementing projects - and how they can empower leaders and employees to experiment across functions and professionalism.

Direktør & Partner
Thomas Gedde Højland

"If there's one thing I can see that challenges organizations, it's bringing, those it's all about into the engine room. This includes both internal customers and stakeholders, but especially external citizens, users, customers, patients, etc. – essentially, those it truly revolves around."

Partner
Nanna Hebsgaard

“It provides tremendous power of action and new solutions when organizations succeed in changing conversations about the challenges and potentials that characterize everyday task solving, and when new forms of collaboration across disciplines, functions and sectors gain space. It's so meaningful to bring diversity together and use diversity actively.”

Partner
Mikkel Ejsing

“Strategy should not only be measurable, but also tangible. Strategy realization is hard work, so if the path to the goal does not energize people and teams, the results will reflect that. The strategy should also be noticeable to customers or citizens, and they must never be lost sight of.”

Partner
David Jul

“Strategy is not something that should reside in a 27 page pdf file. Strategy is something we do — all of us. That is why, my main task is to help people succeed in the task they share”.

Partner
Anne-Mette Scheibel

“I enjoy working with the entire system surrounding a core task, ranging from healthcare assistants to regional councilors. At the same time, actively incorporating citizens' perspectives as a driving force for change and co-creating future solutions is crucial for successfully achieving significant societal changes.
