Current Concepts
City Council start-up after Q25
We are at a time of many international and national complex political agendas and wild problems that require political cooperation and strong leadership.
Cross-party cooperation and vision management will play an important role in the quality of policy solutions, just as politicians' experience of actually making a difference to (local) society and citizens' everyday lives is influenced by strong onboarding, and that cooperation works and compromises are possible.
Examples of complex challenges that the new city councils will face are the realization of the many national reforms and agreements such as the Green Tripart and Climate Plans, the Elderly Reform, the Health Reform, the Employment Form and the changes in Job Centres, the Public Schools Quality Programme, etc.
Resonans collaborates with researchers in the field including Lotte Bøgh Andersen, Professor and Head of the King Frederik Institute, Aarhus University, Professor Jacob Torfing and Professor Eva Sørensen Public Administration at RUC.
3 Steps to a Well-Functioning City Council Startup
Stage 1: Get started as a group
Expectations for the collaboration, interviews focusing on politician profiles, motivation and drive. Individual and shared ambitions and dilemmas in political work.
Phase 2: Political Visions
Developing the common political visions and strategies in a dynamic workshop — preferably in collaboration with the organisation and the outside world.
Stage 3: Think Big and Start Small
How do we get started? Development of sample actions, target images and effect wishes in co-creation
Contact Anne-Mette Scheibel or Nanna Hebsgaard for a dialogue about a tailor-made startup for your city council.
Resonans, together with our talented partner Jonas Ahm, offers to document and present the strategic ambitions, vision and values of the new city council in a live video.
A video that has multiple purposes:
- To assemble and sharpen the common strategic cargo of the City Council in the new term
To return with a common communication to citizens on social media and the municipality's website after an intense election campaign
- Creating a greater interest in local democracy and how election promises become reality
We offer a focused and efficient production process:
- Preparation of turntable for 2-3 min video and preparation of question guide
- Preparation of 2-3 politicians, including the mayor and possibly committee chairmen
- Physical visit where the video is filmed
- Feedback meeting after video is cut together

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.
