Gender and Change Management (GOFL)

The Gender and Change Management (GOFL) programme ran from 2017 to 2018 and included 18 women from KTH. The purpose was to enhance women's influence in KTH's gender equality work. The group subsequently functions as a strategic advisory group in JML issues at KTH. A follow-up study has shown a need to create a clearer form and continuity for the group's work. 2021: The Equality Office will design a support structure in change management for further development of the strategic group GOFL. 2022-2025: In 2022, an initiative was introduced by the president on female visiting professors (see section 2.2.2 in the operational plan for KTH in 2022) to create a more even gender distribution among professors. A development programme, including both new professors and other roles for the achievement of change (e.g. GOFL), will be linked to this initiative in 2023- 2025, with the aim of providing support in the work to achieve more gender-equal and inclusive environments at KTH and to enhance the sustainability of the initiative. It is therefore important that work is carried out within the identified environments to create a more inclusive and gender equal culture.
