AKTUS


The AKTUS name is a merge of the two Danish words of "Active Uncertainty" (Aktiv Usikkerhed).


AKTUS is based on the idea, that as uncertainties including risks and opportunities are facts of life, one may as well leverage these as competitive advantages.


In a volatile world, it is not just about being safe, when the boat is rocking – but about having the capability and courage to be the one rocking the boat - to succeed, you need to prepare to dare.


To do this effectively, risk management in the shape of "Intelligent Risk Taking" is advised.


I support organisations in actively benefitting from taking proven risk management tools and processes beyond traditional risk management.


I focus on organisations which are: Big enough to assign resources to take risk management to a next level ... and prosper from doing this with a systematic approach In a business environment, where success takes more than "business as usual"


AKTUS provides

  • Training
  • Coaching
  • Support
  • Tools and templates

tailored to your needs.


The AKTUS image stems from a

real-life project. The red bars indicate

the initial performance outcome

range of a real-life project I risk

managed. The green bars indicate

the risk managed performance

outcome range.


The high green bar matches target

performance, which there without risk management was less than a 3%

chance of meeting, and with the established risk management was more than 60% change of meeting. By the end of the day, actual performance exceeded the target by 35% and was delivered on time.

"Hans is a dynamic, engaging speaker and we were honoured to have him on stage to deliver the opening keynote presentation at StrategicRISK’s Fourth Annual Asia-Pacific Risk Management Conference in Singapore. Hans’ willingness to share the vast knowledge and expertise he has acquired during a long career in risk is rare in a speaker and made his presentation truly stand out. Delegates walked away feeling inspired and equipped with practical knowledge that could be applied back in the office. I would highly recommend Hans as a speaker on strategic risk management."
