Promise Their own work or organisation

Henrik Poulsen will serve as special advisor to Mads Nipper until 31 January 2021 to support a smooth transition.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

What would count as true or false

Test: did Henrik Poulsen serve as special advisor to Mads Nipper from the CEO handover until 31 January 2021? True: records confirm he held the special advisor role through 31 January 2021. Mostly true: he served in the role through about that date, with a minor detail, such as the title, differing. Mostly false: he took the role but ended it well before 31 January 2021. False: he never took the role, or reports show he moved directly to other positions without serving as advisor.

Set before the research began.

Evidence (2)

  1. E1 Remuneration report 2020 Ørsted · 3 February 2021 Own record

    “Henrik Poulsen stepped down as CEO at the end of 2020 and has been replaced by Mads Nipper as of 1 January 2021.”

  2. E2 Remuneration report 2020 Ørsted · 3 February 2021 Own record

    “CEO Henrik Poulsen handed in his resignation in June 2020.”

Reasoning

E1 and E2, both from Ørsted's own 2020 remuneration report, confirm that Poulsen resigned in June 2020, stepped down as CEO at the end of 2020, and was replaced by Mads Nipper from 1 January 2021. Neither item mentions the special advisor role, whether he held it, or when it ended. The evidence does not settle whether he served as advisor through 31 January 2021.
