Category: The role of CoS

In Swedish organizations with flat hierarchies and a culture of consensus, CoS serves as a facilitator rather than a traditional leader. The role involves coordinating, facilitating, and driving change through dialogue and participation rather than through formal power. CoS works closely with management but also has broad support across the entire organization, and must be skilled at building relationships and creating engagement. Respect for MBL and workplace legislation is crucial, as is the ability to navigate an environment where decisions are made collectively. CoS contributes to increasing the pace of change without compromising openness and participation, which is central to Swedish corporate culture.
