  • Perspectives on Cross-Functional Business Partnering. Our Managing Partner Michael Lykke Bülow shared his insights at the NOCA Conference - focusing on the critical role of cross-functional business partnering in driving organizational success. Highlighting how fostering collaboration across departments creates value, enhances decision-making, and enables sustainable growth in today’s dynamic business landscape. We in BPI believe that cross-functional collaboration contributes to the broader conversation on empowering businesses through effective partnerships. #Leadership #BusinessPartnering #Collaboration #Crossfunctionalpartnering

    BREAKING DOWN SILOS - THE CASE FOR CROSS-FUNCTIONAL BUSINESS PARTNERING. Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking at the NOCA conference on HR Business Partnering. As we navigate a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) environment, business challenges are rarely confined to a single department. Yet, many organizations remain stuck in siloed business partnering setups—HR, IT, Finance, and Legal each tackling their own agendas independently. Sounds familiar? The conference reinforced an important point. Cross-functional collaboration is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a must-have for delivering real business impact. Our business stakeholders expect their business partners to understand and collaborate with peer functions (thanks for this point Anders Ibsen) So how do we do it? We need to move beyond siloed approaches and adopt an integrated mindset. By aligning strategies, capabilities, and role definitions, we can elevate our business partnering maturity and unlock significant value for stakeholders. Here are three key takeaways from my talk: 1️⃣ Start small: Build your case for change through tangible wins. 2️⃣ Focus on overlaps: Recognize that corporate functions face similar challenges—leverage these as opportunities to collaborate. 3️⃣ Grow incrementally: Collaboration maturity is a journey, not an overnight transformation. At BPI, we are passionate about driving this agenda. However, to succeed, we rely upon the expertise and mandate from HR to drive this agenda. Having met 120 HR professionals yesterday, I feel confident that we are on the right track. Curious to learn more about this? Why not join the "Strategic Business Partnering" program at week 5 that we are hosting as part of CBS Executive Fonden Winter School. (see link in the comments). Thanks to Andreas Arentoft and the rest of the NOCA team for giving some space to a "finance guy" in your HR community.

    Stolt og glad er nok de bedste ord til at beskrive følelsen efter den tredje gazelle kom ind af døren.

  • Our CFO offers some truly inspiring insights into the personal perspectives surrounding leadership and the role as a leader. Leadership is more than just holding a position of authority—it's an evolving skill that grows through experience, reflection, and continuous learning. Stepping into a leadership role requires not only the ability to guide and motivate others but also the dedication to improving and adapting your leadership abilities over time. #realisingpeoplepotential #businesapartneringinstitute

    Startede du også som leder fordi det var næste skridt i din karriere og ikke fordi du havde et brændende ønske om at lede? Jeg var en virkelig dårlig leder de første mange år efter jeg fik rollen. Jeg var primært leder fordi det var et skridt i min karriere, jeg var ambitiøs og ville fremad. Og ledelse… ja det var en del af den rejse. Det var ikke fordi jeg ikke bekymrede mig om dem jeg var leder for, men min motivation var ikke dem, men mig. Heldigvis har dette ændret sig – jeg har ændret mig. Ældre, lidt klogere, 2 børn og et større hjerte senere, er ledelse noget af det bedste ved mit job. Det handler om vores skønne medarbejdere, om deres karriere, om deres næste skridt, deres liv, deres følelser, deres måde at drive fremdrift på men frem for alt, at forberede dem på what’s next. Jeg elsker at lytte! Jeg elsker at dele erfaring – good and bad. Jeg elsker at lære dem bedre at kende, og jeg elsker at fejre deres succeser i livet og hjælpe dem når det er svært. Hvorfor er du leder? Hvad driver/motiverer dig? Og hvad gør du for at få dine medarbejdere til at føle sig unikke?

  • Diversity is something we value here at Business Partnering Institue. Our managing partner Michael Lykke Bülow shares his thoughts on the topic in his latest post: ——— Did you know that teams with high diversity on average underperform compared to homogeneous teams? … and that's not all. Research by Amy Edmondson also shows that the more diverse teams are, the more dissatisfied people are with their colleagues! This is quite interesting during a week where we celebrate diversity. Many believe that diversity around the meeting table (e.g., age, education, geography, ethnicity) automatically leads to better team performance due to broader experience, diverse perspectives, and exchanges of opinions. But this is often not the case. It can actually be challenging to make diverse teams work. Communication challenges often hinder the potential that team diversity undoubtedly possesses. To achieve high performance in teams, it's therefore not enough to only consider diversity in the team's composition. This alone can lead to poorer performance and lower employee satisfaction. Research, however, shows that if the right frameworks are set, diverse teams significantly outperform homogeneous teams (see link to article in the comments). At BPI, we are a partner group of five people. On the surface, an ethnically and educationally homogeneous group, but in practice, we are very different personalities with unique strengths and backgrounds. We only succeed as a company if our partner group performs and we bring our diversity into play in a positive way. That's why, in recent years, we have worked with Henrik Kongsbak on creating a high-performing team. Here are some of the things that have worked for us: 1️⃣ A “strength-based approach,” where we build on things that work. 2️⃣ Clear roles, where we delegate responsibility on behalf of the team. 3️⃣ Clear ground rules for how we conduct meetings and discuss topics. 4️⃣ Quarterly feedback sessions, where we give feedback to each other in an open and respectful way. 5️⃣ Common goals and a shared bottom line in the group. Are we perfect? Far from it. But we are much stronger as a team than as individuals, and every day I get energy from knowing that Benita Ulrichs Nilsson, Mette Reppien, Christian Frantz Hansen, and Anders Liu-Lindberg are my “partners in crime.” How do you incorporate diversity into the composition of your teams? And what do you do to get the "orchestra to play better together?" #BPI, #Diversity, #BusinessPartnering

    VIDSTE DU, AT TEAMS MED HØJ DIVERSITET I GENNEMSNIT UNDERPERFORMER, SAMMENLIGNET MED HOMOGENE TEAMS? … og ikke nok med det. Research af Amy Edmondson viser desuden, at jo mere diverse teams er, jo mere utilfredse er folk med deres kollegaer! Dette er jo ret interessant i en uge hvor vi hylder diversitet. Mange tror, at diversitet omkring mødebordet (fx alder, uddannelse, geografi, etnicitet) automatisk medfører bedre performance i teams, på grund af bredere erfaring, diverse perspektiver og meningsudvekslinger. Men ofte er det ikke tilfældet. Det kan nemlig være udfordrende at få diverse teams til at fungere. Kommunikationsudfordringer spænder ofte ben for det potentiale, som teamdiversitet utvivlsomt besidder. For at opnå høj performance i teams, er det derfor ikke nok kun at tænke diversitet i teamets sammensætning. Dette alene kan føre til dårligere performance og lav medarbejdertilfredshed. Forskning viser til gengæld, at hvis man sætter de rigtige rammer, outperformer diverse teams homogene teams signifikant. (se link til artikel under kommentarer). I BPI er vi en partnergruppe på fem personer. På overfladen en (etnisk og uddannelsesmæssigt) homogen gruppe, men i praksis er vi meget forskellige personligheder med unikke spidskompetencer og baggrunde. Vi lykkes kun som virksomhed, hvis vores partnergruppe performer og vi bringer vores diversitet i spil på en positiv måde. Derfor har vi de sidste år arbejdet med Henrik Kongsbak omkring at skabe et high-performing team. Her er nogle af de ting, som har virket for os: 1️⃣ En ”styrkebaseret tilgang”, hvor vi bygger på ting der virker. 2️⃣ Klare roller, hvor vi delegerer ansvar på vegne af teamet.  3️⃣ Klare spilleregler for, hvordan vi driver møder og drøfter emner. 4️⃣ Kvartalsmæssige feedbacksessioner, hvor vi giver feedback til hinanden på en åben og respektfuld måde 5️⃣ Fælles mål og fælles bundlinje i gruppen. Er vi perfekte? Langt fra. Men vi er langt stærkere som team end som individer, og jeg får hver dag energi af at vide, at Benita Ulrichs Nilsson, Mette Reppien, Christian Frantz Hansen and Anders Liu-Lindberg er mine ”partners in crime”.   Hvordan tænker i diversitet ind i sammensætning af jeres teams? Og hvad gør I for at få ”orkesteret til at spille bedre sammen? #BPI, #Diversity, #BusinessPartnering

    Group CFO Falck

    In Falck, I am so proud of the deep functional expertise in the CFO functions. However, creating value as individuals and as a team also requires that we become even better at partnering with business stakeholders and collaborating better across functions. 🤝 We have therefore partnered with the Business Partnering Institute and created the “Falck Value Creation Program”, a program designed to empower 25 of our great employees with tools to become even more impactful. We kicked off the program last week with a two-day sessions at “Beredskab Øst, Station Gladsaxe”. 🚒 🚑 The days stated by “demystified” value creation and demonstrated how we create more value, when we do it together. A key part of the activities is the the case work, where cross-functional teams will work on how we can leverage FalckGPT (our internal Chat CPT installation) and other AI applications to drive efficiencies. Lastly, it was a great chance to bring the group functions into the heartbeat of Falck, where sirens are ringing and where our colleagues on the frontline work with a passion to put our fires and save people’s lives. A huge thank you for the great hospitality at Gladsaxe Station. Looking forward to continuing this program after the Summer vacation. 😎 #Finance #FinanceGPT #Falck

  • Summer vacation is upon us at Business Partnering Institute. The summer vacation provides a unique opportunity to distance yourself from work, reflect, and ask yourself: - Am I still developing in my current job? - Is my work making a difference? - How do I feel when I come home from work? Our managing partner shares his personal reflection and story. We at the Business Partnering Institute wish you all a lovely summer. Remember that self-reflection is important and that changes sometimes is needed to develop further.

    PAK KUFFERTEN, UD I VERDEN OG SPØRG DIG SELV – ER JEG (STADIG) PÅ RETTE VEJ I MIN KARRIERE? Jeg elsker mit arbejde og gennem året giver jeg den gas med fuld fokus på at gøre en forskel for dem, jeg arbejder med. Men det er også vigtigt at stoppe op, mærke efter og spørge sig selv: ·      Udvikler jeg mig fortsat i mit nuværende job? ·      Gør mit arbejde en forskel? ·      Hvordan har jeg det, når jeg kommer hjem fra arbejde? Sommerferien giver en unik mulighed for at få arbejdet på afstand og mærke efter. Næste uge pakker jeg rygsækken igen. Vil jeg udfordre mig selv med disse spørgsmål i år? Helt sikkert, og med et åbent sind. (Til mine fantastiske kollegaer i BPI – bare rolig, jeg trives rigtig godt ☺️). Men der har været år, hvor svaret ikke var ”ja”, og da har jeg handlet på det. Mest radikalt, da jeg for 6 år siden forlod ”the corporate world” for at starte egen virksomhed. Min ”mavefornemmelse” har aldrig svigtet mig, og jeg har aldrig fortrudt et skifte. En opfordring herfra: Når I er kommet godt ned i gear i sommerferien, … tag tid til jer selv, … stil jer selv de ovennævnte spørgsmål, … lyt til mavefornemmelsen, … og hav modet til at handle på det. Hvis du beslutter, at det er tid til forandring, så lad os tage en snak. Vi søger altid talentfulde og engagerede mennesker til vores team. God sommer ☀️😎🌴🏖️
