About Håkan Balcker

With a focus on leadership within sourcing, logistics and production, I bring most to the company's development, operations, co-workers, management and owners when I appear as a change engine and energy providers (get the people happy at work) all the way from the identification of strategies with needs and areas for improvement, captured in organisation, developed within organisation, communicated, accepted and implemented in the organisation … and finally a focus phase for continued improvements. I have extensive experience in production, development and operations management from various industries and environments. I lead by promoting change, building expertise and creating commitment and energy of employees and organization. At the same time, I am a professional sounding board regarding supply chain, production, management and improvement models (as LEAN etc.). This has expanded my platform for leadership, operational excellence, change and improvement processes.Do you want profitable change?Do you want your unit function like a "well-oiled" machine?Do you want long-term success from dedicated staff with a passion for the business and the customers?FLOW! Being in the flow - the mental state when an activity is performed fully immersed in a feeling of ENERGIZED FOCUS, full involvement, and enjoyment. … an organization in FLOW - wow!My experience is that you can find most of the answers in the organization, you just have to listen. I have experienced a positive effect of "invite all to dance." Involve and inform! Develop competence! Combine existing practical skills with theoretical knowledge and models from research institutes and universities, and you can achieve a real leverage effect.Management, Strategy, Action plans, Operations, Production, Supply Chain, Purchasing, Sourcing, Logistics, Planning, Leader, Leadership, Manager, Organisational development, Improvement processes, Lean, Efficiency, Key indicators, Target setting, Communication, Personal development, Education
