Embracing New Opportunities: A Call for the Right Challenge

Change is never easy, but sometimes it is necessary. After much reflection, I have decided to open myself up to new job opportunities.

As Norwegians says about “Fjellvettregler” which are the Norwegian mountain safety rules, which provide essential guidelines for staying safe in the mountains:

• Rule 8) Turn back in time – there’s no shame in turning around.

I have truly loved my role as a Service Designer and Innovation Lead in the district Søndre Nordstrand in the Oslo Municipality. The work has been meaningful, the vision exciting, and I have given it my all. However, over time, I have come to realize after 3 months all in, that the reality of my role no longer aligns with the expectations I had when I said yes to this position.

The biggest challenge has not been the work itself but rather the lack of mandate, responsibility, and authority to truly drive the change I was hired to create. Without leadership support and an organizational culture that fosters innovation, even the best ideas struggle to take root.

I thrive in environments where innovation is embraced, where strategy is sponsored by leadership, and backed by action, and where people are empowered to make a difference. That is what I am now looking for: a place where I can contribute my skills, experience, and passion for facilitation, innovation, and design thinking—and actually have the leadership and sponsorship backing to turn vision into reality.

If you know of opportunities where bold thinking meets real execution, where leadership supports transformative work, and where innovation is not just a buzzword but a way of operating, let’s connect and let me know!

I am excited about what’s next. 🚀
