Creating clarity and momentum in a historic integration

DSV

When DSV acquired DB Schenker in 2025, creating the world’s largest logistics company, communication played a critical role in establishing clarity, engagement and organisational momentum. Resonans Partners supported DSV’s Communications and Marketing Director throughout the integration process.

The engagement included:

• A clear engagement plan spanning the entire journey from the public announcement of the acquisition until all 160,000 employees were integrated into DSV.
• Continuous process communication during the period leading up to regulatory approval, when the two companies were required to operate independently. A series of behind-the-scenes videos helped address the information gap and employees’ need for insight into the process.
• Establishment of communication channels to engage employees globally and equip leaders to lead dialogue and engagement at local level.
• Employee-generated welcome videos and strong Day 1 communication, quickly establishing a shared narrative. Winning as One became the unifying story throughout the integration.
• Fair and transparent communication on leadership appointments, based on the Best Athlete principle, balancing speed and fairness.
• Ongoing integration communication as employees were integrated country by country, including welcome packages and clear progress updates.

The work has been further documented in the Copenhagen Review of Communications

Strategy deployment in operations and leadership principles

DOVISTA

DOVISTA is a leading European manufacturer of windows and exterior doors, employing more than 7,000 people across markets and brands throughout Europe. DOVISTA is owned by VKR Holding A/S and forms part of the VKR Group, one of Denmark’s largest and most respected industrial groups.

In close collaboration with the leadership of DOVISTA Operations, we supported the deployment of the Operations Compass. Our work included end-to-end advisory support, the design of communication packages, leadership workshops, films, and operational leadership tools – all aimed at embedding direction, behaviours, and shared practices into daily operations and performance.

In parallel, we supported the formulation and operationalisation of the DOVISTA Leadership Principles, including the development of a practical handbook and an animated introduction film that brings the principles to life for leaders and teams in their everyday work.

Engaging 370,000 employees in 50+ markets in a new purpose

Securitas

"We help make your world a safer place" is how Securitas describes the new purpose of the company – a purpose developed with input from thousands of employees to help create direction and pride and thus to bring people together in the international security giant.

We developed a multi-year strategy and campaign plan for engaging the 370,000 employees via a multiple approach and in collaboration with Securitas' global leaders, HR and communications professionals. The efforts include:

• A core setup with a strong narrative, specially designed graphical elements, and a wide range of Purpose branding materials for internal and external events (posters, stickers, wall- and floor stickers, cups, balloons, etc.).
• Corporate communications efforts primarily based on video formats designed to be used on multiple internal and external SoMe platforms (internally Workplace, WhatsApp, Yammer – externally Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram).  
• Purpose Communication packages for the many leaders in Securitas' global organization (PowerPoints, videos, workshop/meeting formats, Purpose-dialogue game, etc.).
• A yearly “Global Purpose Award” nomination to promote the finding of ambassadors and use them as role models in internal communications and in marketing/sales.
• A global organization of Purpose Ambassadors in all key markets to be used on SoMe, for organizing internal purpose events and conducting Values- and Purpose workshops with new employees.

Leadership and corporate communication across a global industrial group
 

Alfa Laval

Alfa Laval Group is a global leader in heat transfer, separation and fluid handling, headquartered in Lund, Sweden, with operations in more than 100 countries and 23,00+ employees.

Resonans Partners has supported Alfa Laval over several years in strengthening leadership and corporate communication across the Group. Our work has included the development – and for a period the management – of internal leadership communication, including a global listening tour and survey, as well as the establishment of a clear strategy and governance model. Alongside this, we have provided ongoing leadership advisory support to senior management.

We have also supported communication around quarterly financial reporting, including the set-up and interim management of the communication framework and production of key communication deliverables. In addition, we have provided strategic and operational support for major corporate events such as Capital Markets Days and Top Management Conferences.

Furthermore, we have delivered leadership communication training and coaching, and supported the development – and interim management – of a global content communication set-up, ensuring consistent and relevant communication to internal and external stakeholders across Alfa Laval’s global platforms.

Leadership and organisational development in Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk

Resonans Partners have been involved in a wide range of leadership and organisational development initiatives, spanning personal storytelling, change management, and the definition of leadership behaviours that drive high performance.

• Building trust within the Chinese leadership team: We designed a process in which leaders shared personal stories about defining moments in their lives. The open and vulnerable dialogue strengthened personal bonds and significantly increased trust within the team.
• Creating a high-performance culture in Region Africa: We supported the leadership team in aligning on what high performance means in practice. The process resulted in clearly defined, actionable, and measurable behaviours that now serve as both a leadership guide and an assessment tool.
• Strengthening the HR team through candid feedback: We facilitated an open and transparent feedback process within the HR team in China. This increased awareness of individual strengths and development areas and enabled stronger collaboration and mutual support.
• Coping with stress during major organisational change: During a company restructuring, we ran a workshop for Novo Nordisk’s IT function focused on managing high stress levels. Employees were given space to voice concerns and received simple, practical tools to navigate change.
• Rapid change management for merged R&D teams: We supported two newly merged R&D leadership teams through a focused, Lean-based process. In just a few hours, the teams aligned on priorities, created psychological safety, and defined the most critical next steps.

Evolving internal leadership communication to the next level

Nordea Group

After many years as a somewhat conventional and conservative organization, the largest financial institution in the Nordics, Nordea, wanted to change gear. The aim was to develop a more engaging internal leadership communication.

We helped Nordea develop a new internal leadership communications strategy (“People, Passion & Values”) lifting a rather conventional one-way information effort to a much more dynamic, dialogue-based and engaging internal communication. The new way of communicating was based on tools like a digital leadership communication training centre, incorporation of dialogue in the group internal news platforms, videos, town-halls, pop-up events etc.

For two extended periods we were asked to take strategic and operational lead on all group internal leadership communications and on the team of internal communicators in Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden and thus lead on all quarterly communication, major organizational changes, daily corporate news, and crisis communications.

Examples of concrete cases were being part of the "war room" to handle communications in relation to ‘the Panama Papers’, being lead on the internal implementation of Nordea's new corporate brand and being the communication lead on a big cultural transformation journey to accommodate more customer focus in the whole company.

We have previously helped develop a training programme on digital meetings for Nordea's customer advisors, just as we have rewritten a large number of customer letters to make the letters easy to understand – and thus reduce pressure on the bank's customer hotline.

Leadership communication in a changing judicial system

The Courts of Denmark

The Courts of Denmark are facing ongoing changes that place increasing demands on leaders’ communication and engagement.

Resonans Partners designed and delivered a leadership communication programme tailored to the specific context of the Danish courts. Based on feedback from close colleagues and employees, participating managers received a 360-degree assessment of their communication practices. The results formed the basis for an individual coaching session, where each manager developed a personal action plan.

The programme continued with three team-based training days, combining concise theory, peer dialogue and hands-on training to strengthen everyday leadership communication.
