Our services

Advisory

From the side lines, we support as sparring partner, with independent observations, assessment and advisory.

We'll apply our experience and analytical skills to explore your context and present you with our fresh insights about the current situation, possibilities for the future and advise for the road ahead.

We support in translating your mission or commercial objectives to an operational structure that efficiently and effectively facilitates your business' development and performance.
We streamline your process and product design to reduce costs and free-up time. To improve your bottom-line or to free-up resources to invest in the next thing.
We clarify your context and provide you, if needed, with options and ways to pragmatically and conscientiously recognise, conceptualise and compare options to move towards your objectives.

Guidance

Standing next to you and your team, we support as a guide of thought, exploration and execution, chasing your ambition.

Mostly, the best solutions come from inside the team and there's a need for someone facilitate you to collectively work and talk through it all. We'll guide you, so you can focus on the creative part.

We support leadership teams in setting up programs that align their projects according to their objectives and operational strategy. Efficient, effective and sustainable development begins with focused, united work.
We support leaders, managers and team leaders with practical, context oriented coaching, to co-develop a clear and effective approach to manage complexity, conceptualise alternative options and arrive at decisions.
We host workshops where we guide teams through context exploration, driving for clarity. Driving for clarity does not have to take a long path, but can in many cases be jump-started through only a few powerful workshops.

Interim professionals

Stepping into your team temporarily, working shoulder-to-shoulder, in order to fill an absence or add specific skills.

No team has it all, all the time, so we're ready to jump in when you need a couple extra hands. We enjoy dealing with challenges and complexity, as managers, as specialists. We're there if needed.

Businesses, especially growing ones, may be short or lacking dedicated program and project managers, ending up with someone who's not only inexperienced but also already has their hands full. Experience and dedication drives results, faster.
In case you're in need of an Operations or Supply Chain Manager we can jump in to temporarily work with your team. We'll keep daily work on track, develop the team, tend to ongoing projects and support you in finding our replacement.
In cases where you have a strong manager in place but can use support to run your operational positions, we can support with talented people. Let us know what expertise your looking for and we will be able to find a matching professional in our team or network.

What our clients say

Our specialties

Strategy & Program Development

Developing your strategy based on your mission and building a development program to bring your current operational model and daily operations to adopt that strategy. Typical consultancy work. Not because it's necessarily hard to think of the possibilities. The hard thing is to align and decide on the best way to go.
Change Management

Change. There's always someone or something that's not quite ready for it. We're not only great at keeping overview, chasing deadlines, connecting with all layers of the company, but also at finding ways to unlock cooperation and progress; aligning key stakeholders amongst themselves for sustainable results.
Productivity Improvement

Productivity represents the company's ability to produce value versus its amount of resources needed to do so. It's all about improving the bottom-line; cost-down, value up. Still, it's not mindless cost cutting. It's streamlining and scaling the machine and dynamic you built to create the unique value you wish to offer.
