Welcome to BlueBehavior

- making the world a better place, one leader at a time

Blue? Who? You? Why? What? How?

Blue What?

Behavior. Behavior as the actions that make leaders worth following! And blue as in calm and considerate, out there big blue offshore and in the blue ocean future. In combination, BlueBehavior is a Danish consulting company, founded in 2013 by me, Ulrik Ramsing, and I am still delivering on projects, programs and products world-wide with a proven network of interdependent consultants in Denmark, Holland, Belgium, India, Brazil and the US.

Blue Who?

As noted: a few close colleagues and an international network of experienced resources, all working together for the overall purpose of making the world a better place, one leader at a time.

We do so by helping individual leaders and leadership teams make robust decisions, especially under adverse circumstances such as time pressure, great uncertainties or across cultures.

And we have been out there, supporting executive teams and groups of talents across most of the world, from China to the US, from South Africa to Svalbard; in-office, offshore and on special locations.

Some programs have engaged a handful of executives in a new, emerging market every quarter. Others have offered repeated cycles with hundreds of participants; one global program have been running nearly a decade.

There are also projects focused on a specific challenge or a strategic event such as the APQP4Wind shown here and with more details in the full reference below:

Maria Schermerhorn

Global Program Manager, uniQure
“Ulrik is very enthusiastic, dedicated and hard-working and I very much recommend his courses. Especially the ‘shortcut-slides’ represent great value when you need to brush up your theoretical knowledge. It has been great working with Ulrik Ramsing, and I can highly recommend his magnificent teaching skills.”

“Fantastic use of technology, insights how to use technology effectively in new ways of working.”

Cain Doherty

“Amazingly broad and complete leadership program. The majority of the concepts can be applied almost imidiately in the workplace. Ulrik Ramsing makes it clear how to engage with your team members and colleagues in different situations/conversations. The tech/new way of working is a nice addition, that probably not many courses offer. ”

Eric Hoekema

Investment Manager, ENECO Energie

Why BlueBehavior?

As you are still here and perhaps considering, a few unusual aspects of working with the team at BlueBehavior.

Approach.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", said Einstein. Ideas must be self-evident and memorable. Good research and best-practice experiments are needed; heavy books and long articles are not necessar(il)y for everyone.
Less is more.

LTI Game™

Deep learning must be fun and engaging. Please see the present materials or the original dedicated game site for more details on BlueBehaviors recognized and highly customizable board game for project managers and safety professionals.

Safety Leadership

Offshore experiences from Oil & Gas has been transferred to the renewable industry and windfarms where leaders are required to make everything and everyone collaborate safely in real time.

BlueBehavior offers a portfolio of measurable and highly customizable bootcamps focusing on key issues such as affective safety, decisions, feedback, interventions, culture and conflicts.

Going Beyond

BlueBehavior is working actively to bring leadership experiences to remote and less fortunate parts of the planet too. Long-term clients have chosen to "pay it forward", adding to the non-profit BlueBehavior Foundation dedicated to bring experienced volunteers from the facilitation network out where there is no budget.

This -- and offering an increasing amount of the materials on-line -- helps make years of proven results and best practices available where it is needed most.
