Strategic Sparring

Every decision-maker needs a trusted sparring partner who brings in energy and a new perspective, propelling things forward and taking the business to its next level.

Here are some client types that Maria has been a strategic sparring partner for:

  • CEOs of SMEs
  • Senior Vice Presidents from global multidisciplinary consultancies 
  • Start-ups

 

  • Ministers and Heads of various Ministerial Departments
  • National AID programme leaders 
  • NGOs

Knowledge Acquisition

Today’s speed of new knowledge and technological capabilities are exceeding what most of us can keep up with on a daily basis.
How do we keep ourselves updated, and do we always know what to do with new knowledge and insights?

Here are some of our cases:

  • We organise custom knowledge insight sessions tailored to the needs of CEOs and individuals, be it within market intelligence, technological business implications, or new topic insights.
    In one example, we organized knowledge meetings and the acquired insights allowed an executive management team to develop a new strategic direction, business model, and service offerings based on the technological possibilities within their industry.

International BU expansion

International business expansion (or internationalisation) is the process of expanding a business from the domestic market into international markets across the globe.

Here are some of our cases:

  • International expansion strategy and plan for a Swiss relocation provider.

 

  • Establishment of outsourcing units in India and other Asian countries for two Scandinavian multidisciplinary consultancies alongside ensuring a strategic fit between the HQ and new units. 

 

  • Organisational RPA set-up in East Europe with a focus on servicing the Scandinavian and East European banking industry.

Digital Transformation

The integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers.
It’s also a cultural change that requires organisations to continually challenge the status quo and experiment.

Here are some of our cases:

  • Natural language processing (NLP) to avoid customer escalations: Azure-based NLP integrated directly into Outlook in order to help customer support staff avoid customer escalations when corresponding over emails. 

 

  • Ticketing system (POC): Software assessment on best ticketing systems with automated Q&A features and automated knowledge base updates. 

 

  • Chatbots: Development of button-based bots and hybrid chatbots in order to enable users to quickly find relevant information and concrete answers to their questions. 

 

  • AI-automated accountant: Conceptualisation, partnership establishment, and implementation of AI-driven expense management bot which puts expenses on autopilot.

Smart City

Here are some of our cases:

  • Pre-book parking: Forget about coming late to a meeting because you couldn’t find an empty parking spot. We developed a concept for a parking app that allows you to pre-book a parking space at your destination to avoid any hassle.

 

  • Natural disasters warning: We developed an MVP-powered remote sensing (satellite imagery) that could autodetect specific plant species, their age, and growth rate on maps. This insight enabled us to map out when specific plant species should be cut in order to fulfill safety measures on roads and railway tracks.
    On top of that, we linked weather prognosis to the analysis in order to warn relevant safety authorities and enable them to proactively manage vegetation before a storm or flood strikes in a given area.

Gig Economy

A free and global market where companies and independent workers (freelancers) set short-term and on-demand professional relationships that are both flexible and skill-based.

Here are some of our cases:

  • We are in the process of creating a gig-platform for a specific industry.

 

  • We leverage the gig economy ourselves by gaining access to a global workforce where we can select the needed knowledge and skill set.  

Geospatial Solutions

Geospatial technologies, including geographic information systems (GIS) and high-resolution location and object data, have become business-critical capabilities in providing advanced insights and innovative customer and user experiences.

Here are some of our cases:

  • Upgrading geospatial data and adding analytics sparked business interest that allowed us to identify new business opportunities within the company and outside to new customers.

 

  • Based on digitised local plans, we can now autodetect building regulations which we automatically matched up to building requests from landlords. Just on the first stage project level, we could automate 80% of building request processing.

Circular Economy

Here are some of our cases:

  • M2SHARE is a platform that invites both private and public stakeholders to post and book available space in the city.
    The solution offers 100% flexible rental options, e.g. one hour (only one booking), one booking per week for a specific period, etc.

 

  • Care-2-Reuse was developed to collect functional computers from Scandinavian companies and to re-use them for school children and university students in need.

Smart City

A smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic methods and sensors to collect data in order to manage assets, resources, and services efficiently.

Here are some of our cases:

  • Pre-book parking: Forget about coming late to a meeting because you couldn’t find an empty parking spot. We developed a concept for a parking app that allows you to pre-book a parking space at your destination to avoid any hassle.

An economic system aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources.

    The solution offers 100% flexible rental options, e.g. one hour (only one booking), one booking per week for a specific period, etc.

VOC

Identifying and mapping customer journeys in order to detect their pain points and suggest improvements on existing customer experiences as well as insights into the development of new products and services.

Innovation Acceleration

Custom programmes for medium to large organisations in order to uplift employee engagement and accelerate new products and services created by employees themselves.

LEAN

A methodology that focuses on minimising waste within manufacturing and service systems while simultaneously maximising productivity.

Here are some of our cases:

  • LEAN clean-up project for the boarding process of one of the largest flight companies with a 40% time reduction for the passengers. 

 

  • Value-stream mapping with the purpose of re-designing core processes for multidisciplinary consultancies’ procurement processes.

Platform Business Model

A platform that creates value by facilitating exchanges between two or more interdependent groups, usually consumers and producers.
In order to make these exchanges happen, platforms harness and create large, scalable networks of users and resources that can be accessed on demand.

Here is one of our examples:

  • Preparing a vision and strategic roadmap to evolve from a product-commodity provider to become a network orchestrator within the global mobility workforce.
