"Deliver above and beyond expectations"

Services

I aim to deliver strategic and value-based advice that helps your business thrive and prosper. Evaluate, optimize and consolidate number of systems, initiatives and projects to support business growth and relevance. Adding structure and diligence to your projects ensures that you gain the expected benefits and value of your investments.

Project management

Project management

Supporting the execution of any initiative or project you are embarking on, I offer you my 17 years of project management experience. I have managed programs and projects of varying sizes and complexity across multiple industries and geographies, all based on the fundamentals of PRINCE2. A key success factor is understanding when and how to apply the different aspects of any given method, keeping in mind that project management is a supporting discipline and should provide structure and smooth execution, without overwhelming administration.

Legal Project Management

Legal Project Management

The interest in and need for Legal Project Management is growing on a global scale. The legal industry is considered one of the sectors where Legal Tech and AI solutions will have a major impact. Consequently, ensuring that legal matters are adequately planned and consistently executed is imperative. Legal project management involves applying project management principles and practices to enhance the delivery of legal services. If you are a law firm considering implementing LPM, I can provide you with advice and implementation support. From introducing the concept to execution, together we will develop a practical plan for implementing LPM that supports your business and clients.

Business development

Business development

Finding time to develop proper business plans and a strategic path for your business can sometimes feel overwhelming. Distinguishing between what you 'need to do' and what you 'should do' from a strategic perspective can be challenging. Together with your leadership team, I can support you with a structured approach focused on metrics that matter and clear priorities.

About Me
After 20 years of exeprience in professional services, I decided to embark on my own business journey in the spring of 2023. It`s truly a privilege to have this opportunity at this stage in my career. Throughout my career, I`ve come to appreciate the value of a strong reputation and a diverse network.

Drawing upon my extensive network and leveraging the wealth of experience and knowledge gained from my previous roles has led me to an exciting juncture.

As circumstances unfolded, a new path emerged. Given my core expertise in project management and the increased demand for legal project management, it became evident that expanding into this area was a natural progression. Thus, legal project management became an additional branch of my professional portfolio

In the summer of 2023, I achieved the distinction of becoming the first IILPM graduate in Norway certified as LPP (Legal Project Practitioner), further enhancing the range of services I offer.

In addition to project management and legal project management, I`ve also held various management positions that demanded a keen business acumen and a strategic mindset.
I`m deeply motivated by identifying growth opportunities and developing optimal solutions and processes to support business objectives.

I take great pride in delivering services with high integrity and approach each new task with curiosity and a positive mindset.

Through various phases and in various roles, I have had the great pleasure of working with Cecilie. She has a wealth of good qualities, but stands out from others for her broad and multifaceted knowledge. She masters project management from a human perspective, at the same time as she has very good insight into both financial management and the practical use of technology. I hope to be able to work and create good value for customers together with Cecilie in the future too!

For several reasons it has always been a pleasure having Cecilie on the team. Cecilie is always engaged in looking for solutions, whether it is about commercial or more practical questions. On the commercial side she understands how to come to win / win solutions. From an organizational point of view Cecilie is focused on continuous improvements to ensure that everybody can work efficiently. She doesn’t accept suboptimal processes and urge her team to always optimize behavior, processes etc. Cecilie has a great humor, she cares about people and their development, and she thrives on all levels of an organization.

I have had the outmost privilege of working with Cecilie as my Project Manager for just about a year. In that time I have known her to be an inspiring professional, a person with excellent work ethics and with vision, diligence and honour – in other words, someone who gets things done. She is focused and dedicated to the work at hand and to producing results to the best of her abilities. She has shown that she is able to deal with uncertainty and dislocation. Cecilie would be an asset to any team, organization or company, and I strongly recommend her for anyone looking to strengthening operations, methodologies and customer relations.
