About us
The Department for Leadership and Organization (ILO) conducts education, research, and development in the field of leadership and organization primarily within the context of the Danish Defense.

In addition, we provide support for professional development and organizational reform processes within all our areas of expertise. We work in close collaboration with military staff, analysts, researchers, and other civilian occupations.
Our research focuses on leadership and organization from an interdisciplinary perspective. Methodologically, we work both qualitatively and quantitatively, drawing primarily on case and field studies. Our current research projects range from comparative studies of operational leadership (command) to collective defence and the changing character of war and battlefields, to studies of public governance and reform implementation, to focusing on phenomena such as societal resilience and military adaptation, to investigations of the military profession – including how professionals are developed, trained, and educated
