Realizing your company’s organic or inorganic growth ambition – navigating the path with an Identity Compass
Business Managers are operating in a world with high insecurity and fierce competition. At the same time, more than steady growth is needed to satisfy shareholders or ambitious owners. How do you navigate external challenges while realizing organic and inorganic growth ambitions and PMI tasks? Your company’s identity can make you see possibilities instead of limitations and find a way to go.
Time & place:

Linda Neckmar – SVP, Human Health at Novonesis
Linda was responsible for managing the commercial integration of the US-based company UAS Labs, acquired for USD 530 million in 2020, into the Human Health business unit of Chr. Hansen. In her talk, Linda reflects on the integration process. She shares her view on how working with identity helped her integrate the UAS Labs acquisition and how the joint identity compass guided the commercial development, gaining relevance in a broader market space.
Claus Palmgrem Jessen, CEO at TourCompass
It is the year 2021, and Covid-19 just erased all income from the online travel business Aclass. Claus Palmgren Jessen has proved to be a visionary leader using the forced stop to invest and restructure the business, enabling it to come back stronger than the competition. Reassured of its identity, Aclass transformed its business from a multi-brand strategy to a one-brand strategy, enabling cross-selling, more extended customer relations, and preferable conditions for launching new destinations, igniting new growth.
