Visjonen – ord for ord

02.02.2017

NAKSO MAOS

Vi - Som har ansettelse eller verv i Ferd. Styre og ledelse i operative virksomheter som

er kontrollert av Ferd (50%+) må også forstå visjonen for å forstå Ferds eierskap

Skal - I motsetning til "kan". Med andre ord, dette er noe vi er forpliktet til.

Skape -Som i å kreere, som ikke var der før, men som ved vårt arbeid blir til.

Varige - Som i bestandige, som ikke forgår, men overlever, i hvert fall hvis det står på oss.

Verdie r - Eiermiljøer, selskaper, bedrifter, organisasjoner, og endringer i systemer som bidrar

til menneskers og samfunnets utvikling.

Og - Som i at begge "delene" av visjonen er viktige, hører sammen, og forsterker

hverandre.

Sette - Som i å prege, gå foran, gjennom proakti v adferd.

Tydelige - Som i noe som synes, hvor effekten kan føles/måles og som vi er stolte av.

Spor - Virtuelle og fysiske avtrykk satt ved modige og tidlige initiativ.

De emosjonelle verdiene – slik vi ønsker å bli beskrevet

Troverdighet Eventyrlyst Lagspill Langsiktighet

- Vi holder våre løfter- Vi er forutsigbare i

våre verdivalg- Vi legger listen langt

høyere enn lover og konvensjoner

- Vi er proaktivt åpne for omverden

- Vi rekrutterer basert på verdier

- Vi søker å lære og utvikle selvinnsikt

- Vi er til å stole på- Våre bedrifter bidrar

med verdiskapning i samfunnet

- Vi har et etisk kompass basert på personlig og felles integritet

- Vi ser utover neste horisont

- Vi prøver, og feiler- Vi tar risiko, men er

bevisst den- Vi tar initiativ til nye

måter å skape verdi på

- Vi utvider bedriftens positive effekt i samfunnet

- Vi er generøse- Vi deler- Vi spiller hverandre

gode, og liker det- Vi tør si ifra til

hverandre- Vi er en pålitelig

partner- Vi samarbeider svært

godt med de tillitsvalgte

- Vi har insentivordninger som fremmer helheten

- «Vi kan være utålmodige veldiglenge»

- Vi har både evner og vilje til å stå igjennom sykler og andre utfordringer

- Vi støtter våre bedrifter når verdiskapningen ligger foran oss

- Vi er eier så lenge vi er den beste eier

Questions we ask ourselves while doing DDs…

• Can we,

– operate in this country

– compete in this industry (or compete with a certain company)

– work with this partner

– source from this supply chain

……without a high risk of breach of our values and ethical norms ?

• «Culture eats strategy for breakfast»

– ….but perhaps we are not that hungry (for profit)

Johan H. Andresen

The power of example works, but where and how?

• Elopak, WWF, and others

• Aibel and ABB

• Mestergruppen and Monsterbedriften

• Swix and Sintef
