Worked with supporting organizations in the public sector, the mining industry, the media industry, and the gaming industry in strategic movements needed to be able to handle complexity and rapid speed better. The assignments imply increasing leaders’ ability to systems thinking, and leaders actual ability to lead in constant change, and create a well-functional team, with well-being employees and teams that can work together for increased business results.

I mainly work with training and develop the leadership team, help out with developing business planning processes and product development, documentation of product development, create structures for improvement, and work with PO forum and Scrum master guild to improve.
Bonnier News: (mars 2022)
I together with Mia Kolmodin and Lena Åckander designed and developed a training called “First to Trust” for Bonnier News. The training was designed for their managers and leaders in their new Agile organization to develop the skills for transformative leadership, group development, psychological safety, conflict resolution and a shared understanding of agile and lean wow, principles and mindset. This was a 2,5 day training that we delivered to 60 leaders and managers in separate 3 sessions. Afterwards, and during the training we received wonderful feedback about the format that was inclusive, interactive, engaging and fun. And afterwards we learned that they had really good use for what they learned in their day-to-day activities as well on strategic levels.

Cambio: (sept 2021–feb 2022)
I worked under the CTO to do an organizational analysis and stablished what improvements needed in different structures to enable agility. I also work with their HR department to developed a leadership program based on what learnings we had from the organizational analysis to develop a transformative leadership and the concept training from the back of the room as well as leadership coaching. To support individual managers I introduced catalyst leadership and leadership agility 360 to help handle complexity, and Reiss motivation profiling to support managers in understanding people’s motivation.
Försäkringskassan: (aug 2012-aug 2021)
I drove the transformation within Försäkringskassan (14 000 people). Trained and supported management teams to lead in a different way to work smarter and more strategically and eliminate counteracting structures and control systems. Helped form triads with manager, POs and ScM to be aligned in creating flow and needed change. Worked with General directors staff to create conditions for change, as well as leadership in several layers and different apartments within business and IT. Also worked with the HR, communication department, legal department responsible for the basis of value, as well as the business side to do needed change in processes, control system, training, structures and so on to hold things together.
Trained in leading SAFe/PO/PM, Safe for teams, as well as my own training and ICAgile training. Worked as a SPC and within a LACE (Lean Agile center of excellence) team during SAFe implementation (that we ended due to finding better ways to do it).
Coaching and training Product owners and product managers in product discovery and continuous delivery. Creating value streams and broader teams to be able to do end to end deliveries. Supporting teams in creating mission statements, working agreements, role expectations, decision making, feedback, values, drive experiments etc. Supported leaders to help them build psychological safety, create feature teams, self selection to teams, drive cross functional retrospectives in the organization to create flow and get rid of less helpful structures and waste.
Helped with real data to build decisions from. Introducing OKRs. Focused on inspiration, communication, engaging and envisioning change needed, and the steps the organization was ready to take. Starting to do a new operation model aligned with the change. Mapping old roles and structures to new (not 1-1).
Started to create business teams that develop, maintain quality assurance, run and maintain applications. Responsible for all maintenance and lifecycle management of their applications and consumed services as well as checking the correct versions of consumed services when implementing micro services and container technology.
Started psychological safety measurement and measurements to drive collaboration.
Worked both remotely and in person in many different locations across Sweden.
I was appreciated for my deep knowlwdge within the areas. I build a positive atmosphere, that promoted discussions and engagement. The managers appreciated that I challenged them to good discussions, something the brought with them in their work forward. Other things they appriciated was how I move between strategic an operative level, as well as what people need, structures and systems. They praised me for having easy conversation with both managers as well as employees. Brave to handle difficult questions, sas well as my ability to stick things out. The local agile coaches appreciated me for my ability to systems thinking, and to see things from different perspectivs, my power of action. Great support for them.

Feedback on my leadership trainings
-Jenny is good at steering and leading the conversations and at giving us space to have discussions.
-Jenny has such positive energy, she contributes to calm and the nice climate in the group.
– I can come after a busy week and still land here and now. Jennys calmness allows you to stop and really get into the course.
– Jenny dares to stay in more difficult questions, there is a will that everyone understands and internalizes the knowledge. Jenny makes sure everyone gets to speak and keeps track of everyone in the group.
– You stop when necessary and push where necessary, good! Uses concrete examples. Good at keeping us going, Ask follow-up questions and make you think a second time.
– Jenny är bra som tränare, fångar upp våra resonemang bra!
-Jenny går in och styr diskussionerna på ett bra sätt när vi svävar ut.
– Jenny är bra som tränare, håller tråden men ger samtidigt utrymme att sväva ut ibland. Har positiv energi och bidrar till lugn.
– Jenny som tränare fungerar finfint. Bollar tillbaka funderingar på ett fint sätt.
– Jenny utmanar mig i mina tankebanor jättebra!
– Jenny som tränare är bra! Utmanar oss, ställer riktade frågor, låter ingen sitta tyst så man måste ha fokus här och nu. Jättebra!
– Jenny som tränare är jättebra! Kunnig inom området, ställer bra frågor och är bra på att moderera.
– Jenny som tränare är jättebra! Vi skulle aldrig ha haft de här diskussionerna utan dig! Det får ihop oss chefer och enar oss i hur vi ska styra och leda framöver.
– Jenny lever som hon lär. Hon skapar psykologisk trygghet i gruppen, för ett bra tempo på diskussioner, ger utrymme till var och en, har inte för snabbt tempo. Du “fostrar” oss in i mindsetet.
– Jag hade velat ha med dig varje dag om man hade kunnat!
