Experiences and capabilitiesOver the years I have had the privilege to participate inorganizations and individuals processes against beingreal powerful initiators, able to make the rightdecisions, even in demanding collaborative situations.The processes of getting a higher capacity ofoperational excellence and leadership consist of manydimensions but in the end it is all about four areas of“Knowing”. Knowing the “right stuff” about the worldaround us. Knowing each other (individuals, cultures,organizations etc.). Knowing how to do it (methods,plans etc.) And finally Knowing how technology canmake us “able” in our modern world! I haveparticipated in all of those “knowing dimensions” in allpossible phases during the years.

I am now looking forward to continue my work in astimulating environment, interacting with prospectivebusinesses and organizations, evolving different kindsof operations. I have the ability to participate in shapingthe new requirements and “set” the new organizations.I'm good at pursuing evolution of various types ofprocesses, methodologies and supporting tools,based on the overall needs derived from a holisticperspective. To generally support and participate in achange that gives the benefits of a high capacityoperational excellence and leadership is verystimulating!

Curriculum VitaeDan Nordell

Areas of competence:Operational and strategic support:I have years of experience from evolutionaryprocesses in different operational managementsituations and in various types of organizations. I holdthe ability to lead methods development and to“translate” the needs arising from new approachesand new demands into practical support needs. Ofcourse, I have during my years “in the field” gathered avast amount of knowledge of the society as a “system“with all its defined concepts, organizations, interactionareas, geographical and sector wise dividedresponsibilities, etc.

Infrastructure/technology:Robust infrastructure and supportive IT based tools istoday a prerequisite for almost any degree of“operational excellence”. We are certainly today livingin a real exciting time giving new possibilities almostevery day. Participation in advanced Research &Development (R&D) projects and development foroperational support, general situation awareness,information flows, early detection, situation analysis,collaborative decision making etc. has made meexcited over upcoming possibilities in our near future.The primary target for all of this work has been thesociety with all of its levels and sectors in general but Ihave also been working in securing flows andenvironments within critical nodes such as airports,harbors, large terminals, large cities etc.

Leadership and social skills:In order to describe my leadership skills it is maybesimplest to quote Mary Parker Follet in her statementfrom 1924, she said:

"Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power butby the capacity to increase the sense of power amongthose who are led. The most essential work of theleader is to create more leaders.“

This principle is important to me and there is a lot tosay about accomplishing such an effect with itssubsequent stimulating environment. I hope you willdiscuss and “unfold” this domain together with me in anear future!

According to others I am an social skilled and wellarticulated person. I myself enjoys new “meetings” andI don’t mind the individuals and groups I am interactingwith being different from me, belonging to othercultures or working within different subject fields etc. Itis experiencing new things that makes us evolve. I amfor instance used and stimulated by working in socalled triple helix forums pursuing development from aholistic societal perspective.
