We help organisations navigate complexity, grow people, and unlock breakthrough progress
Hey, we’re Ben and Alex — a duo of experienced organizational coaches and facilitators, based in Copenhagen.
We team up with leaders and teams to help them navigate change and collaborate better – in service of meaningful missions. We facilitate processes, coach teams, build toolboxes and work one-on-one with courageous leaders.
Our approach is hands-on, authentic and oriented toward making real progress on complex challenges.

A bit of our work
A few headline examples of what our work can look like. From recent and ongoing projects with some of our closest partners:
at Oatly
Global Leadership & Culture Program
We developed and led this online program, training 400+ coworkers over 18 cohorts in foundational leadership behaviours, skills and mindsets — in line with Oatly's Guiding Principles.
at IKEA
Leading Transformation Training & Toolkit
We co-created and facilitated this in-person training around leading complex and transformational assignments. We co-authored a toolkit of templates, guides and methods to support scalability.
at Alfa Laval, Oatly, Happy Socks, etc
Team Development & Strategy Offsites
We regularly work with teams and departments for 1-2 day offsites that combine team building, reflective dialogue, collaborative learning and forward-looking planning. Energy-giving and highly focused.
at Manyone, Oatly, Happy Socks, etc
Thriving in Uncertainty Workshops
We run an ongoing series of workshops for Manyone's full Danish organization — focused on building the culture and skills needed to stay resilient and succeed in times of uncertainty and change.
How we work
We have a few core principles that guide the way we work, regardless of the project. Whether it’s a short one-off or an extended partnership, this is what we’re all about:
- We're facilitators foremost: our role is to unlock flow and progress, not have the answers
- We create collaborative, courageous spaces where people can do their best work
- We see mindset, behaviour and systems as the most important levers for change
- We work in a quick and iterative way, guided by goals and focus on real value
- We look for partnerships shaped by good chemistry and shared values
What people say
Ben and Alex bring a deep understanding for our business environment, our culture and a wonderful supporting attention to people. They bring their full selves into every single interaction with huge passion for getting things done, challenges tackled and potential released — professional, energetic and authentic.
Nadine AbrahaVP HR, Energy Division, Alfa LavalThey focus on creating a safe space for direct feedback, encouraging participation and engagement from all team members, leading to more innovative solutions. They also give us an unbiased viewpoint, helping to identify and address underlying issues that we otherwise might overlook.
Simon BroadbentSVP Operations & Sustainability, OatlyThese two have unlocked more of a shared approach to leadership, rather than everything sitting on the GMs shoulders, encouraging the team to step forward. Their style provides the nice balance of pushing people outside their comfort zone, holding tensions when needed, but without damaging psychological safety.

Thriving in Complexity & Change
We live in tumultuous times. Constant uncertainty and change (on many levels!) makes it hard for individuals and teams to stay focused, flexible and at their best. It’s easy, normal even, to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of it all. So how can we embed the behaviours and mindsets that keep us grounded, resilient and adaptive, even in the face of uncertainty?
A workshop to recharge, reflect and reset
This session is an opportunity to come together as a team, briefly step away from the noise, re-connect and learn some key practices and mental models to navigate better in continuous complexity and change.
Who is it for?
Management teams, cross-functional groups, full departments – any group that’s been feeling the stretch and strain of navigating in complexity and is in need of some supportive tools.
What does it get into?
- Insights:how the brain and nervous system experience complexity and change
- Techniques:for individual/peer reflection and recharging in the flow of work
- Tools:for mapping one’s agency & influence even in a noisy, complex system
- Takeaways:small focused commitments to practice new habits and mindsets
- Space:for connection & conversation on another level, outside the daily sprint
How does it look, in practice?
It depends on the group and the context. It’s always highly interactive, facilitated with a mix of input, small group exercises and rich conversation. We’ve done it online, in-person and hybrid. It’s at least 2 hours and up to a full day.
Is it something for you and your team?
We’d love to connect, drop a line!
