...i balance og harmoni med virksomhedens fremtidige vaerdirum.
Det er vigtigt at skelne mellem det administrative og det kreative rum.

sphere
sphere - calls for a little re-formulation, but it is another suggestion.
I did think of scope - and rejected it, because scope may be wide, but implies its limits, and this is not an aspect you want to emphasise in relation to values.
In principle a sphere is limited too, but somehow a sphere may be vast enough to accommodate truly ambitious values ;-)
In balance and harmony in the sphere of the company's future values
It is important to distinguish the administrative and creative spheres
You may have to make different adjustments to fit the rest of the context.

space
"value space", administrative space, creative space. This sounds like an attempt to sound important, and use new age words. The Danes are good at making up new words. It most certainly should have been "værdi".

Christine's suggestion of "sphere" is also a good choice. Scope would not sound right. I think either would work.

"Sphere of influence" is a very common expression, as is "work space", "creative space". I would go with sphere in this case, but it is a close call.
