Independent process leadership and facilitation
Man & Nature leads processes, projects and meetings in natural resources, landscape and sustainable land and water use.
Biology, journalism and facilitation – with experience since 2002.
Questions about natural resources are rarely settled by someone finding the missing fact. They stall because the knowledge sits with different parties, because perspectives differ, and because interests pull in different directions. Academia, authorities, business and civil society each hold a part of the picture.
Man & Nature creates the conditions for joint learning between them. Many environmental questions are marked by scientific uncertainty, complexity, large knowledge gaps and conflict — that is the kind of challenge the company is glad to take on.
The work rests on independence. Man & Nature is independent in relation to political, religious, economic, public and private special interests. That is what allows every party to trust the process.
A process that holds together when the question is hard and the parties are many.
Project management and process management with a focus on natural resources, landscapes and sustainable land use. Experience of complex multi-party processes at national and regional level.

Facilitation of conferences, seminars and workshops on various topics. More than one hundred completed meetings with participants from academia, authorities, business and civil society.
See assignments in this areaComplex knowledge put into words that can actually be used.
Popular science texts, teaching at university courses, presentations and strategic communication. Broad experience in conveying complex environmental information.
See assignments in this areaWhat is the question really, who does it affect, and where do the dividing lines run? The starting point is the situation you are actually in.
A process shaped for the task: who should meet, in what order, and on what basis.
Meetings where knowledge and perspectives meet, where every voice is heard and where competing interests can be handled openly.
Conclusions that can be used, documented so the work can continue once the assignment is over.
Assignments come from national and regional authorities, municipalities, universities and other organisations working with natural resources and landscapes.
I am a biologist, journalist and facilitator. Since 2002, I have mainly worked with communication and facilitation of meetings, projects and processes – first at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, then at the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten, and in recent years in my own company, Man & Nature AB.
My ambition is to help people think clearly together about complex and intractable social issues, with a particular focus on sustainable development, natural resources and land and water use.
Tell me briefly about the assignment and we will have a first conversation about needs, conditions and possible next steps.
