How Bunzl Nordic Strengthened Leadership Culture with CfL

As Bunzl Nordic grew from two to seven companies across the Nordics, a new need emerged: Many leaders came from specialist backgrounds and required a boost in leadership competencies. Six months later, they had a shared leadership toolbox to carry the culture forward.

Following a careful market review, HR Lead Solveig Mørk Heron chose CfL to design a tailored leadership development programme. The journey included five in-person modules focused on hands-on, real-world leadership training.

The results were both measurable and visible in everyday practice:

“Our leaders are now more aware of their leadership identity and have gained the confidence to handle conflicts and lead with greater clarity. The tools are being used actively, and we now share a common language around leadership challenges. On top of that, collaboration across our companies has grown stronger," says Solveig Mørk Heron.

This wasn’t just another leadership course - it was tailor-made for us. We worked with real-life challenges and we felt truly involved in shaping our leadership philosophy. The open dialogue created strong team spirit. It made a real difference.

I experienced it as a very professional and well-structured training programme. Because we attended as a group, we always had someone to reflect with on how to handle leadership situations. We’ve now developed a shared language for the challenges we face as leaders. It has definitely created a network I didn’t have before.

How the Programme Is Designed – in 4 Steps

At CfL, every programme is customized to fit your goals. Here's how we typically design it:

1. Initial meeting focusing on your desired outcomes, existing leadership language and values, participant group, and preferred format.

2. Practical training delivered by our experienced consultants - based on the design and your needs - within areas such as:

  • Participants’ profiles from a leadership perspective

  • Managing focus, time and energy in a leadership context

  • Leading through change and adapting to different situations

  • Communication techniques that balance listening, challenge, and support

3. Personal development focus, where participants apply what they’ve learned to their own leadership behaviour and identified focus areas.

4. Impact review and next steps. Together, we evaluate the impact and define actions that support long-term results.

"We have solid experience designing programs that turn specialists into strong leaders – no matter the industry. Whether your experts are engineers, economists, lawyers, or something else entirely, we help them succeed in their leadership role."
