About Verner Bentzen

IS IT DIFFICULT TO MOBILIZE THE ORGANIZATION AND IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES THAT ARE NEEDED?Studies show that 70% of strategies and major change initiatives fail or are only partially implemented. Management loses direction and overview because things arise that are not anticipated.Did you know that and would you like to get sparring on how you can succeed, then connect with me and let's talk.veb@bentzenconsulting.dk and 53 64 61 10▬▬▬▬▬▬As an independent consultant, I offer consultancy within:• General management, - strategic planning, change management, and organizational development• Facility management, - space management, property management, building operations and maintenance, and support services• Procurement - rightsourcing, and negotiations• Process management, - process optimization, quality and environmental mgt systemsThis is based on acquired hands-on experience with strategic development, negotiations, and change processes, including re-organisations, outsourcings, mergers and acquisitions in an international environment. E.g. amongst others including direct responsibility for financial management of a number of foreign affiliates, involvement in establishment and operation of shared service center in India, as well as responsibility for negotiation and project management for a joint-venture factory project in Algeria.My experience with authorities at a political level as well as at the level of officials is extensive. Also my contribution to various boards of directors is profound.My significant knowledge is based on a combination of a strong educational background and 36 years’ experience from Novo Nordisk companies, Copenhagen Business School, Alectia and Technical University of Denmark.As a person, I ensure overview based on a structured and analytical approach; I create results based on collaboration, high commitment and drive; and I create trust through communication at eye level - at all levels.
