FO § § § SA LE ! § Kommunekemi is a private limited company owned by Local Government Denmark (the member authority of Danish municipalities) Kommunekemi a/s

Mental Model: Destruction Former model Origin Relevance Destruction The mission of Kommunekemi is to destruct the hazardous waste in Denmark making sure no harm is done to the environment. Alternative Production I the 70’ties hazardous substances did accumulate in nature. The national and local government realized that land filling and diluting was not the answer to the challenge. It is still relevant but destruction also means that values are destroyed instead of being brought back into the cycle of materials. Kommunekemi could focus on values in the waste and decontamination of the life cycle. Kommunekemi could become a production plant more than a plant dedicated for destruction Kommunekemi a/s

The New Mission for Kommunekemi 1. Value Get the maximum value out of hazardous waste: Recover-Transform– Recycle – Incinerate 2. Environment Detoxify the cycle for compounds: Remove – Neutralise – make harmless 3. Development Develop cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly technologies. Kommunekemi a/s

Mental Model: ”Factory” Former model Origin Relevance Factory Kommunekemi is a factory with focus on high volumes and low costs. Alternative Innovative company The former mission with focus on the DK market and a given technology for destruction made optimization the proper key word. Profit margin will fall if focus only is given to DK, the present technology and optimization. The problems of “tomorrow” with new types of hazardous waste will not be solved (in DK!). Kommunekemi could become an innovative company specialized in decontamination and creating values from the waste. Kommunekemi is dedicated to the highly complicated types of waste and developing new technologies and processes to handling these types. Values and not volumes are in focus and higher cost can be part of the strategy. Kommunekemi a/s

Mental Model: Counterpart Former model Origin Relevance Counterpart §Management versus employees §Kommunekemi versus customer §Kommunekemi versus competitors “High level” for the one part gives a “low level” for the other part. The objectives are in direct contradiction. Management create strategies and solutions and the employees fulfills them. Alternative Partnership All relations is based on buy/sales perception. The employees are e. g. means of production which management buy for money. The employees have no “ownership” to the company strategy. This mental model can create values on short terms. The consequence of the counterpart model is a “fight” between the parties, which will not create values on longterms. The partnership model is build on the win-win situations. E. g. the employees are given a joint ownership of the company and are involved in development and decision-making. E. g. The markets is analyzed together with customers and competitors to seek new business opportunities that can create a better position in the market for both parties. Kommunekemi a/s
