Birgitta has been a communication partner on the SHAPE program since August 2014. I have been very happy with her communication efforts, which included the following:

Developed and implemented communication strategy for the SHAPE program, a rollout program of SAP to 30 legal entities with approx. 6,000 employees.

Created awareness of the purpose and extent of the program amongst all employees (2,500 have viewed the intranet page about SHAPE).

Developed intranet site with information and news about the SHAPE program.

Written 7 articles about specific areas of the program, with a readership about 500-600 for each article.

Developed specific communication for one company having the SHAPE program rolled out – intranet news, support brochures that were translated into the company language and distributed.

Improved awareness of communication internally in the SHAPE team.

Birgitta was a consultant in Internal Communication in GEA Group under my direct supervision for two years as part of the team developing internal communication for 17,000 employees globally. On the editorial side, Birgitta produced articles and news for the intranet and was involved in launching and writing a new employee magazine. Based on her strong linguistic skills, Birgitta drafted a language guide for the company. She also started up a project with the University of Copenhagen on working in remote teams, and a project on how to reach non-wired employees globally.

We particularly benefitted from Birgitta’s competences in change communication. She delivered communication strategies and operational input for integration processes on mergers & acquisitions, and provided change communication on a large rollout of SAP for ERP. After being part of the Internal Communication department, Birgitta has spent a year working as a change communication consultant on three large projects in GEA; a global rollout of a SAP-based CRM solution, IT harmonization in GEA globally (going from decentralized to global systems), and the rollout of global travel expense management program, the SAP-based Concur.

Throughout her time in GEA, Birgitta has approached her tasks with enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity and has made it a point to engage others and share knowledge. Birgitta has a strong ability to interact with people from all areas of a large, complex and international organization and to form relations. I can warmly recommend Birgitta for internal and change communication.

Birgitta was communication manager in the change management team that I head, rolling out a CRM – SAP C4C – platform in GEA Group.

Birgitta was responsible for all topics related to communication, such as branding the project in the organization, writing articles and news on milestones, developing an intranet area for the project, presentations, registration information and contact with stakeholders such as hub communicators, providing them with communication packages.

Birgitta added high value to the project, ensuring user acceptance in the CRM implementation with her focus on putting herself in the shoes of the users. Her strong writing skills get the right messages across in a clear and understandable way and create employee engagement.

Working together with Birgitta was an outstanding experience, as she combines empathy, spirit and excellent communication skills.

Birgitta leverer varen! Hun har skrevet og læst korrektur på det meste af mit undervisningsmateriale på dansk, og oversat det til engelsk. Birgitta har formået at forstå mine mundtlige budskaber, og fået dem ned på papir. Hun er effektiv, systematisk og grundig. Birgitta har samtidig en rigtig god pædagogisk feedback-vinkel, hvis du selv ønsker at blive en dygtigere skribent. Uanset hvor dygtig du er, kan hun altid lære dig noget nyt om dit sprog både på dansk og engelsk.

A lively pen with character

I have been lucky to work with Birgitta on several projects at Ørsted, where I have benefitted greatly from her support in writing articles, internal posts and magazines.

In particular, I still look back on an initiative of co-creating on safety with contractors, which set the direction for the entire industry on the benefits of collaboration with contractors to both increase safety performance, but essentially improving safety for people at the workplace.

Birgitta shows her passion in writing by not only thoroughly understanding the subject, but bringing bold ideas into the story, and advocating for the viewpoints of the recipient.

A great writer, but truly a valued colleague.

 

Jesper Bagge Hansen
Head of QHSE Enterprise Risk & Assurance

I had the pleasure to work with Birgitta in her role as communication consultant on updating Ørsted’s onboarding magazine.

Birgitta is a fantastic writer and editor with sharp eyes for the details and the big picture at the same time, which is easy to see if you read the magazine. She grasped the challenging content and communicated it in a natural way that’s easy to follow and understand.

Birgitta is a great team player, open for new ideas and opinions, and a pleasure to work with. I appreciate that Birgitta brings her good mood and humor to our meetings, which not only contributes to a positive work environment, but also strengthens our collaboration.

I really enjoyed working with Birgitta and am looking forward to collaborating with her on the next project 😊

Jeg arbejdede sammen med Birgitta om at udvikle en e-learning der skulle præsentere det nye procesledelsessystem i Ørsted. Der kom flere rosende tilbagemeldinger på e-learningen fra brugerne. De kommenterede blandt andet at den var nede på jorden, simpel og nem at forstå.
Birgitta er nem at arbejde sammen med og hun er god til at formidle kompliceret stof kort og præcist.

Gitte Meldgaard

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Birgitta on a large project developing and implementing a new, global onboarding concept in Ørsted. Birgitta was responsible for creating several products for the new concept, including an iPaper which introduces new employees to Ørsted’s business. Birgitta delivered all the products at the highest quality, not least because of her extraordinary ability to immerse herself in the fields she’s working in and to understand the recipients of the work she produces. It’s also a pleasure to work with Birgitta because of her always good mood and positive approach to the assignments she takes on. I can warmly recommend Birgitta, and from now on, she’ll be the first that I’ll reach out to for future communication tasks.

Jeg har arbejdet sammen med Birgitta i 2,5 år i Ørsted Offshores afdeling Quality & Process Excellence, og var i seks måneder Birgittas projektleder på et kulturforandringsprojekt omkring kvalitet.
Som ekstern kommunikationskonsulent tog Birgitta opgaverne yderst seriøst, og hun var hurtig og skarp til at sætte sig ind i konteksten og gøre kommunikationen relevant.
Det har også betydet, at Birgitta har hjulpet mig og flere andre på QHSE-området med sin kommunikative og sproglige viden i hele sin tid i Ørsted.
Birgitta er derudover en god sparringspartner, og jeg kan varmt anbefale hende som kommunikationskonsulent.

I’ve been Birgitta Herskind’s project manager for a year on Plan Care Communicate, an extensive project that has its scope to boost the QHSE culture in Ørsted. In her capacity as communication consultant, Birgitta has positively contributed with a wide range of change communication input, including a communication strategy, scripts and workshop materials – always with a strategic approach and keeping the target group and their readiness for change in mind.

Birgitta works independently, takes initiative and is very constructive. We’ve benefitted from her high professional standard as well as her service-mindedness, which was reflected in her taking responsibility for technical aspects of the e-learning in Ørsted’s Learning Management System and ensuring data discipline and planning on the project. I can highly recommend Birgitta as a communication consultant.

Birgitta was such a pleasure to work with! She is fast, effective and gets stuff done! She is thoughtful and clarifies key messaging before getting too far ahead with her projects. I have worked with her on several internal and external campaigns where we had to get the right balance between general information and nuanced issues, and she was always great at integrating information from multiple sources and making sure it was crystal clear. We have designed guides, external web pages and internal key messaging for projects together, and I always found her to be a reliable partner who gets stuff done quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend her consultancy services to anyone who is looking to communicate well, regardless of the field!

People & Development Europe

Birgitta and I worked together in a European context where she was part of a round table discussing the implications for business of an EU research project on multilingualism. This round table was part of a larger conference held in Brussels. Birgitta’s approach to the task assigned to her was highly professional, ensuring good coordination with me and the overall project management. Her contribution was to the point, well-structured, perfectly-timed and excellently delivered. It was by far the best contribution of the round table, which consisted of business people from other European countries. I was also impressed by her multilingual and intercultural skills, where she was quite at home dealing with people from all over Europe.
