Embracing New Opportunities: A Call for the Right Challenge

Right now, I’m in a transition.

Due to an organizational restructuring in Bydel Søndre Nordstrand (Oslo), my role as Innovation Lead and Service Designer has been discontinued and my department “Innovation & Digitalization” has been closed down. While these moments are never easy, they also tend to create clarity.

Over the past years, I’ve worked closely with leaders, teams, and public-sector organizations navigating complexity, change, and uncertainty, designing services, facilitating sensemaking, and helping people move from confusion to clarity. That work continues, just in a new chapter.

At the moment, I’m focusing on three things:

1. Exploring next roles and collaborations
I’m actively looking for new opportunities where I can contribute as a service designer, innovation lead, facilitator, or advisor, particularly in environments that value clarity, psychological safety, and human-centered systems. I’m also open to advisory roles, short-term engagements, and meaningful collaborations.

2. Deepening Facili-Station and my thought leadership
Facili-Station remains my home base. I’m writing, refining frameworks, and exploring how state of mind, leadership clarity, and facilitation intersect, especially in times of change. This work feels more relevant than ever.

3. Conversations, not rushing
I’m prioritizing coffee conversations, reflective walks, and honest dialogues with people I trust. Not to “hunt” a job, but to listen, explore, and let the next step emerge from clarity rather than urgency.

If you’re reading this and:

• know of roles, projects, or organizations that might resonate

• want to exchange perspectives over a coffee

• or simply feel curious about where this path might lead

I’d love to hear from you.

This is not a pause.
It’s a reset with intention.
