about the book
"The art of succeeding with hybrid workplaces"
"A thorough and comprehensive review that is both fact-based and balanced. The book thus represents a necessary and unique contribution to our understanding of hybrid work and will thus be a very important tool for office workers, employers and decision-makers."
Morten B. Nielsen
Professor of work and organizational psychology and senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Occupational Health and Safety.
"This is a book that many managers and employees will find useful today. A book that dispels myths about home offices, activity-based workplaces, time thieves and more. With thorough research and professional reasoning, he provides answers on how to navigate the difficult hybrid office landscape."
Donatella Di Paoli
Associate Professor at the Department of Management and Organization at BI Norwegian Business School
"The Art of Success with Hybrid Workplaces is consistently very well written and well structured. The book is also, as a professional book should be, very informative: Facts, claims and discussions are thoroughly documented with quality-assured references."
Hilde Kristoffersen
Editor with a background as editor and editorial manager at Cappelen Damm and Fagbokforlaget.

The Norwegian Bar Association has for several years conducted fact-based Company Pulse measurements of work patterns, both within its own organization and among our members. The surveys provide a unique factual basis for workplace design and for achieving increased productivity and optimal workplaces. Karlsen's expertise and experience in the field are very good, and the implementation of the surveys has always been efficient and professional.

In the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority, we developed innovative digital working methods, changed the work premises and implemented targeted training programs for both management and supervisory personnel. . In the Norwegian Nurses' Association, we worked together to optimize digital working methods and the premises, both at the head office and at all County Offices. As head of modernization and digitalization in the Norwegian Sports Association, we built on these experiences, with a spotlight on the new hybrid working day.

Jeg har hatt gleden av å samarbeide med Jan K Karlsen som øverste administrative leder i hhv. Delta/YS, Norsk Journalistlag og Norsk Kennel Klub, og kan gi mine varmeste anbefalinger. Tjenestene er profesjonelle og til konkurransedyktige priser. Evnen og viljen til å opprettholde en åpen og målrettet kommunikasjon gjennom hele prosessen er imponerende. Han viser stor forståelse for kundens behov og sikrer at både forberedelse, gjennomføring og oppfølging skjer sømløst.

Etter foredraget med påfølgende workshop som Jan K. holdt for oss, satt vi igjen med gode refleksjoner om hvordan vi kan jobbe mer effektivt, og bli kvitt en del av hverdagens tidstyver. Ofte er mange av disse tiltakene enkle å gjennomføre, det handler om små endringer som han satte oss på sporet av.
