Strategic Planning & Facilitation
Is your organization in need of clarity? Are you spending most of your time putting out fires—while the bigger picture remains frustratingly out of focus? You know your vision needs updating, but finding the time, structure, or shared language to move forward feels impossible.
This is where I come in.
Strategic planning is not just about moving from A to B—it’s about first agreeing on what B actually is. I design and facilitate strategic planning processes that help organizations define their starting point, clarify mission, vision, and goals, and establish a realistic, shared path forward.
I shape a structured, outcomes-oriented planning journey that enables teams to surface perspectives, priorities, and tensions—both spoken and unspoken. I guide the process; the content comes from you. This ensures that the resulting strategy is not only clear, but genuinely owned by the people responsible for carrying it forward.
It has been an honor to work with Jennifer Dautermann! With Jennifer, four Nordic baroque orchestras were able to work very effectively to clarify and develop the identity, vision, objectives and concrete goals of the new association Nordic Baroque Scene. This has been essential help in making decisions in practical questions or aiming to bigger goals together. The strategic planning workshop Jennifer put together had very inspiring and active character that allowed ideas and visions to come out.

My approach is grounded in experience. I led the strategic development and launch of Classical:NEXT, which quickly became the world’s leading international classical music industry conference—starting from a blank slate: no budget, no team, no existing network, and a fixed deadline. Through focused strategic design and clear vision-setting, all core objectives were achieved, laying the foundation for a platform that continues to shape the field internationally.
I am a certified teacher (University of Cambridge) and bring strong facilitation expertise to every engagement, ensuring inclusive participation, clear outcomes, and momentum beyond the room.
