Their goal was to increase business leadership skills and thereby the ability to take ongoing changes in the business world and crisis situations and turn them into something positive.<\/p>\n<p>The Hj\u00e4rntrusten (Brain Trust) concept was introduced some years later as a result of the experience gained in conjunction with restructuring assignments. It became apparent that the role of the senior executive, and their immediate colleagues, was crucial to the success of all development, improvement and change activities. Inviting executives to join a <em>trust<\/em> increased their ability to handle challenges. This proved to be a successful path to business innovation then, and the same is still true today. Over the years, more than 500 executives and business leaders from a variety of national and multinational companies and organisations have participated in Hj\u00e4rntrusten\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hj\u00e4rntrusten\u00a0today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For over 25 years, Hj\u00e4rntrusten has helped develop people and, through them, businesses and organisations. Our activities are conducted in the form of <em>trusts<\/em> consisting of hand-picked executives, primarily from the private sector but also from public-sector organisations, with work led by a senior trust manager with many years&#8217; experience in leadership roles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><div class='content-column one_half last_column'><p>One could describe each of these trusts as a shadow management group comprising a broad coalition of people and personalities from a variety of organisations and industries who each contribute their own perspective on the challenges that we as executives and leaders face \u2013 all under the strictest confidentiality. Over the years many collaborations have been initiated and deals made as a result of Hj\u00e4rntrusten\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>We start with the belief that the role of any senior executive comes with heightened responsibility, as they directly and indirectly influence many other people within the organisation over which they are responsible and, thereby, society as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Hj\u00e4rntrusten also organises seminars and meetings with a variety of themes and content aimed at trust delegates and businesses affiliated to Hj\u00e4rntrusten. In this context, we also invite members of the extended network of business leaders built up by Hj\u00e4rntrusten over many years.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to trust activities, Hj\u00e4rntrusten also offers customised mentor and skills-development programmes.<\/p><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div><div class='content-column one_half'><h3>About Us<\/h3>\n<p>Would you like to learn more about us?\u00a0Click on a name for further information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Advisory Board<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<div class='content-column one_half last_column'><h3>Interested in becoming a member?<\/h3>\n<p>You are most welcome to apply for membership in Hj\u00e4rntrusten \u2013 we will contact you to arrange an interview if your profile fits.
