Abstract [en]

Drawing on Bojner Horwitz’s interdisciplinary research and the conceptual foundations outlined in her books ”Feel better with music”, ”Culture for health´s sake” & "A new manuscript for societal stages", and, chapters in Oxford University press, Routledge and Springer Books on ”Humanizing working environments with music”, this project presents a new method for integrating creative arts professionals—particularly those working in music, theatre, and visual arts—into leadership structures and decision-making arenas. Framed within social medicine, the approach highlights how artistic processes can enhance organizational well-being, strengthen collaborative problem solving, and support leaders navigating societal complexity. Central to this method is the creation of new learning environments for boards and powerholders, where artistic expertise becomes a strategic catalyst for reflection, innovation, and adaptive thinking. Through embodied practices, improvisational techniques, and narrative exploration, artists help reshape traditional boardroom dynamics by facilitating aesthetic experiences that promote emotional awareness, social attunement, and deeper collective insight. These environments encourage leaders to move beyond linear reasoning toward more holistic, relational, and transformative learning processes. By embedding artists within boards, management teams, and policy contexts, the model expands the role of the creative arts from cultural enrichment to structural societal innovation. Drawing on Bojner Horwitz’s research, the method demonstrates how arts-based interventions can strengthen organizational resilience, support more human-centered governance, and open new pathways for socially sustainable leadership
