June 2026
This month’s newsletter explores sustainability as a leadership and governance challenge rather than a question of ambition. Through an interview with Astrid Nørgaard Friis from Grundfos and a perspective on the next phase of sustainability, we examine what it takes to turn commitments into organisational execution. We also introduce the latest episode of Tom & Kresten with EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen on Europe’s search for control in a changing world, and reflect on the conversations and perspectives emerging from this year’s Folkemøde.
May 2026
This month’s newsletter explores leadership in a time where more Danish companies are becoming part of global organisations. Using Kvadrant’s sale to Elixirr as a point of departure, we examine what happens to professional culture, autonomy, and judgement when local companies meet international structures and shifting centres of power. We also introduce Tom & Kresten – a new podcast exploring geopolitics, leadership, technology, and a world increasingly in transition.

Narratives have long been regarded as something that sits on top of strategy. A way to explain decisions. A way to bring messages together. At best, a way to create direction.
Unbuzzed #7 - Leadership when it really matters
Some times demand quick answers. Our times demand something different: That we dare to stand in the silence before the answer. That we can listen – not just to the market, but to what is at stake. Between people. Between institutions. Between generations.

Unbuzzed #6 - Education in a field of tension
There is a reason why we at SJ&K love working with education, research and knowledge so much. This is where a society is shaped in the meeting between people, structures and interests. It is about education and leadership. About ideology and innovation. About institutions that must educate and document – and companies that must attract students and collaborate with actors who often want very different things.
Unbuzzed #3 – Efficiency and presence
We strongly believe that intelligent use of AI can combine efficiency with presence. Generative AI can automate routine tasks, analyze data and develop scenarios that free people from routine work – and give us new opportunities and, above all, time to be present, creative, reflective. This newsletter is about that. Efficiency and presence, at the same time.
