Bjarte Bogsnes
Bjarte Bogsnes has a long international career, both in Finance and HR. He is a pioneer in the Beyond Budgeting movement and has been heading up the implementation of Beyond Budgeting at Equinor (formerly Statoil), Scandinavia’s largest company. He led a similar initiative in Borealis in the mid-nineties, one of the companies that inspired the Beyond Budgeting model.
Equinor realized that traditional leadership and management practices no longer work in today’s organizations operating in business environments more complex, dynamic and unpredictable than ever. The company implemented innovative alternatives to traditional management, such as abolishing traditional budgets and calendar-based management in favour of more decentralized, agile and human processes.
Bjarte is Chairman of Beyond Budgeting Roundtable (BBRT). He is a popular international business speaker and Beyond Budgeting coach, and the winner of a Harvard Business Review/McKinsey Management Innovation award. Bjarte is author of "Implementing Beyond Budgeting - Unlocking the Performance Potential", where he writes about his almost thirty-year long Beyond Budgeting journey. His new book ”This is Beyond Budgeting – A Guide to More Adapative and Human Organizations”, with a foreword by Gary Hamel, is out January 2023.
