Lüscher Erhvervspsykologi

What Lüscher Erhvervspsykologi does

Lüscher Erhvervspsykologi is a Danish boutique business psychology consulting firm founded in 2023 by Lotte Lüscher, an authorized psychologist (autoriseret psykolog) and PhD in Leadership from Aarhus Universitet. The firm is the successor to Clavis Erhvervspsykologi (founded 2005) and is built around Lüscher's research-anchored paradox leadership methodology (Paradoksledelse), which addresses how leaders navigate competing demands through 'both/and' rather than 'either/or' thinking. The proprietary MPI (Management of Paradox Indicator) assessment tool — registered and licensed to external practitioners via a 4-day international certification program — underpins the service portfolio, which spans leadership development (Ledelsesudvikling, Lederudvikling), executive coaching (Ledersparring), team development (Teamudvikling), organizational development (Organisationsudvikling), board consulting (Bestyrelsesrådgivning), supervision, and keynote presentations (Foredrag).

The firm operates from offices in Aarhus (Grønnegade 2, headquarters) and Copenhagen (Dybbølsgade 36), serving clients nationwide across Denmark. Its GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct outreach, referrals from existing clients, free community events (Tidlig Tirsdag), peer networks (Ledernetværk), and thought-leadership content including academic publications and the 2018 'Årets Ledelsesbog' award. Named clients include LEGO, Arla, Deloitte Denmark, Billund Lufthavn, Energinet, OUH Odense Universitetshospital, Skattestyrelsen, Aarhus Kommune, Danmarks Radio, and Region Midtjylland — spanning healthcare, government, aviation, energy, manufacturing, and professional services. Long-standing academic partnerships with Professor Wendy Smith (University of Delaware) and Professor Marianne W. Lewis (University of Cincinnati) — co-recipient of the Thinkers50 Breakthrough Idea Award 2023 — provide international research credibility. The firm employs approximately five core staff (Lotte Lüscher, Elsebeth Fønsbo, Jannie Højer, plus administrative support Lo Brogaard Jeppesen) and engages a broader bench of credentialed consultants including Freja Styrbech, Lars Kjartan Bacher Svendsen, Karina Solsø, Kirstine Hockerup, Carsten Pedersen, and Manon de Jongh. Revenue is generated via custom quote-based professional services engagements priced on project scope, duration, and customization level.

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Global leadership and executive coaching firm with deep enterprise reach. Comparable to Lüscher in offering leadership development, team effectiveness, and executive coaching to senior leaders, but at materially larger scale and broader methodology portfolio.
• Bain & Company (Organization practice): Global consulting firm with an organization and leadership practice that advises executives on team effectiveness and organizational design. Comparable to Lüscher in serving C-suite and senior leadership teams on organization-level change.
• McKinsey & Company (Organizational practice): Global management consulting firm with leadership and organizational practices serving large enterprises. Competes for the same leadership transformation engagements but at a much larger scale and broader scope than Lüscher.
• FranklinCovey: Global leadership and organizational effectiveness firm offering methodology-driven leadership programs (e.g., The 7 Habits). Comparable in providing IP-backed leadership development at scale, though with a more generalist methodology than Lüscher's paradox lens.
• Deloitte (Denmark Human Capital practice): Deloitte Denmark operates a large human capital and leadership advisory practice serving the same enterprise and public-sector buyers as Lüscher. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the leadership-development budget while also being an existing Lüscher client.
