Johnny Johns­son was cel­eb­rat­ing his last day at work with a three-hour present­a­tion of his achieve­ments as com­pany doc­tor at Stora Enso Fors over a period of more than 20 years. Dur­ing the first 10 years, Fors became the health­i­est com­pany in Sweden. In 2004, he was presen­ted with a medal by the Swedish king His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf.
His impres­sion of the recent devel­op­ment in the Stora Enso group was how­ever less than pos­it­ive. Cent­ral­isa­tion and efforts to cre­ate a global iden­tity have cre­ated anonym­ity. End­less reor­gan­isa­tions, rigid com­pany dir­ect­ives, shared ser­vice centres, out­sourcing (Ban­galore!) and cent­ral­ised soft­ware sys­tems (SAP) have rein­forced this neg­at­ive devel­op­ment. Only by devel­op­ing a local iden­tity in a global con­text can a pos­it­ive com­pany cul­ture be established.
