We understand the nature of offshore wind, and are able to engage with your team on all organisational levels. Depending on the challenges you face, or the strategic ideas you have, we can take various positions such as:
The Devil's Advocate
You might have a strategy laid out, but find value in a second opinion from industry experts to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. Or you might be in a process of developing a new concept, but wish to be challenged on your commercial strategy.
The Facilitator
Maybe you are new to offshore wind and need a facilitator to support you formulating your stratey and to help you implement it. Or you are planning an internal workshop and need a neutural expert to facilitate the dialouge and ensure the optimal outcome.
The Guide
You know offshore wind but seek guidance on new business segments, as well as investment and market opportunities.
You can use a guide to get your strategic thoughts in a system and to solidly anchor this into your organisation.
The Advisor
Offshore wind is your DNA and your strategy is ready, but you find value in expert support on ad hoc services or look for support to implement your strategy.
About us
Green Ducklings is a strategic management advisory with the sole purpose of increasing the value of companies by efficiently facilitating strategic guidance and diversification processes in offshore wind – in short we help improve any company’s odds for success in offshore wind.
About Green Ducklings
Green Ducklings was founded by three Executive Management partners with the common vision of being Masters “Black2Green” transformations.
The sole purpose of Green Ducklings is to increase the value of companies by efficiently facilitating strategic guidance and diversification processes in offshore wind.
Our senior industry specialists leverage an extensive network within the offshore wind as well as the Oil and Gas markets. Our collected experience exceeds 15 years in the offshore Oil and Gas sector and more than 100 years of total experience in the offshore wind.
The offered processes has been tested, proven and refined by the Green Ducklings team, including collaboration partners.
Integrated Wind Solutions AS holds 97% ownership of Green Ducklings A/S.
Our purpose:
Green Ducklings refers to the mission of the company – to facilitate the breeding of green ducklings that will become the Green Swans of tomorrow in offshore wind energy. The name merges the fairy tale of HC Andersen with the Green Swan concept recently introduced by Professor John Elkington. The tale needs no introduction, whereas a Green Swan delivers exponential progress in the form of economic, social, and environmental wealth creation. At worst, it achieves this outcome in two dimensions while holding the third steady. There may be a period of adjustment where one or more dimensions underperform, but the aim is an integrated breakthrough in all three dimensions.
Put in the context of offshore wind, our point is quite simple – if we want to successfully deliver on the ambitious growth targets set by our industry, we need to support the transformation and building of numerous, successful Green Swan companies. The starting point is for companies to actively take part in the industry’s growth opportunities and to begin the breeding of many green ducklings. When executed properly, companies can make this shift to a renewable industry and achieve above market profits.
