As a management consultant focus is on the growing demand for a better understanding of risks and opportunities related to relevant futures and the impact of e.g. climate change, the SDGs, and other enablers. Her extensive international network with professionals and researchers supports sense making through narratives, storytelling, and dialogue between different actors. She supports finding solutions, not only identifying problems. 

Tina is a solution and action-orientated individual. She quickly builds up plans on how to gain early mover advantages and strategies that can be put into practice. There are no “one fits all” solutions, only solutions we discover in collaboration. We have the tools, but the journey requires openness, willingness, and trust. Together we can, and we will.
