Flemming Anders Olsen’s work is recognised:
As an author, Flemming has been behind the certification of a personality analysis that achieved the best rating among Nordic analysis providers. The assessment was carried out by STP, Stiftelsen för tillämpad Psykologi, and the submitted analysis was evaluated in a formal certification process by researchers from several universities in Sweden.
Cand. Phil. Flemming Anders Olsen has been developing analyses for people in working life for more than 30 years. In his many years in the field, he has approached people’s perception of themselves in working life from several angles. He has worked with the classical trait theory’s description of people as a structure of personality traits. He has worked with Belbin’s and Adize’s theories and models on the concept of roles and leadership style. And he has worked with a unique concept of the individual’s personal values based on Ken Wilber’s and Robert Kegan’s developmental psychological thoughts on the individual’s maturity journey through life. Over the years, Flemming Olsen has also conducted the research that forms the basis for IPA Nordic ApS’s analyses, and he has extensive experience in the field, which ensures the quality of the analyses offered by IPA Nordic. In a previous collaboration with a Nordic consultancy, he was the author behind the certification of a personality analysis that achieved the best rating among Nordic providers of analyses. The assessment was carried out by STP, Stiftelsen för tillämpad Psykologi, and the submitted analysis was evaluated in a formal certification process by researchers from several universities in Sweden. Flemming Olsen has subsequently carried out several research projects for companies in Scandinavia in collaboration with a Nordic consultancy. The research that forms the basis of IPA Nordic ApS’ analysis tools is based on Flemming Anders Olsen’s outstanding work and experience, and recognised as a leader in Denmark by IPA Nordic’s customers.
