Business counselling and consultancy
Focusing on organizational development and efficient/fun collaboration forms and processes that foster productivity and wellbeing among the team members is crucial. Especially for a young consultancy like COBO, where we operate in hybrid models, in a cross-cultural context, across geographies. And Q3 has been particularly exciting but hectic with travels, projects, and onboardings.
It was, therefore, with much anticipation that we conducted our first internal workshop with Hanne Schou-Rode as the proactive and thorough facilitator in a highly illuminating session with teachings, discussions and concrete action points for all team members.
In many ways, the workshop, thus, provided tools and frameworks for kickstarting a new and exciting phase for COBO. (Kunal Singla, Founder & CEO, COBO Consult – an event as part of Danmarks Mentale Sundhedsdag, Oct. 2021)

We have conducted a huge transition process with support from Hanne Schou-Rode.

As interim manager of Stressbarometer ApS in a highly turbulent period Hanne Schou-Rode managed the position with strong competencies and confidence and demonstrated a high degree of engagement and ethical responsibility, combined with exceptional good collaborative skills both internally and in relation to our customers and suppliers.
Within short time Hanne succeeded in optimizing the company’s set-up and procedures, developing the business concept and subsequently maturing the company for acquisition. Hanne was in charge of the entire process, responsible for the contractual negotiations, resulting in a for Stressbarometer ApS favorable company take-over by the Japanese consultancy Business Consultants Inc.

I had the pleasure of working with Hanne for 1½ years in Novo Nordisk, she as project owner for the new intranet GlobeShare, I as the IT project manager. Hanne took responsibility for the project and really engaged personality in it. She was able to turn the vision into a strategy and further on into a real implementation. Furthermore the project group members all agreed that Hanne’s personal interest and motivational skills stood out and made management very visible.

Hanne is a pleasure to work for. I worked for Hanne when she was managing a cross-organisational global strategy project, with input from everyone (including me). In the last couple of weeks of the project she made all ends meet, wrapped it up, and gave it a final quality lift – of course doing her more than full-time job on the side. Hanne’s “mega”-tasking skills are admirable. Karsten Stryger, Knowledge Manager, Novo Nordisk A/S (now Founder, Bestyr)
