Or­gan­iz­ing sus­tain­able trans­formation and change

My research focuses on the practices and processes of organizational change, sustainable transformation, and creative leadership in multi-actor settings. I primarily draw on time and temporality research and practice theory to explain how change emerges, identify the conditions influencing these processes, and understand the impacts on transforming organizations and society toward sustainable futures. 

I work from different perspectives within the social sciences and philosophy to examine complex and ever-changing organizing processes and develop conceptual and empirical knowledge sensitive to everyday organizational life and society. My research reflects ‘engaged scholarship’, building on deep and transformative collaborations within the world of organizational and management practice. My overarching research ambition is to advance the concepts and methods of organizing and managing sustainable transformation within and across organizations and provide insights to address the grand challenges in contemporary organizing and contribute to a sustainable society.
