<h2>Gathers experts at the new Consid office in Hamburg</h2>

<p>– I have the ambition to bring innovative high-tech solutions to the table. Therefore, we are very motivated to gather more experts in driving digitalisation forward at our new office allowing us to establish a unique company culture that resonates with us says, Daniel Lupzig, Head of HR, Talent &amp; Recruitment at Consid in Germany.</p>
<p>Being responsible for building the HR, Talent &amp; Recruitment team in Germany – Daniel has managed to grow the team from one to three members in only a couple of months with the support of his internal network. Collateral with growing the total amount of employees in Hamburg, being over 30 people today.</p>
<p>– We&#8217;ve set an ambitious goal of having approximately 75 talented individuals across three offices by the end of 2024, with Hamburg as our flagship office.

<h3>“The company is about the people”</h3>
<p>Daniel has an academic background within Psychology, mostly concentrating on the economic parts of organizational and industrial Psychology. Doing previous work as a Talent &amp; Growth Manager, working together with developers.</p>

<p>We’ve witnessed in Sweden how Consids offices serve as a selling point for new hires, and in some cases, they’re pivotal in choosing Consid. Ever since Consid was founded, the ultimate ambition has been to create a workplace that suits you regardless of what phase in life you are in.</p>
<p>– At Consid we love to exceed the expectations of clients and colleagues, but we also value ​​a healthy life balance. There are significantly differences between German and Swedish working cultures. I fell in love with the Swedish way years ago, but it is also important to include our individual German touch.</p>

<p>Daniel continues:</p>
<p>– Looking at my role as Head of HR, Talent &amp; Recruitment in Germany for example, it has evolved since starting in May 2023, and continues to do so in line with the entrepreneurial mindset of Consid. Being the first one within that area at Consid in Germany, and building something from scratch, was one of the main reasons I signed with Consid.</p>

Meet Reima Soikkeli

In a groundbreaking move Reima Soikkeli has taken the helm as Sweden's leading IT company, Consid, makes its debut in Finland. A journey that takes us back to where it all began, but with an innovative twist. Reima now shares his goals, the dream of entrepreneurship, and how the core team will grow the company.

"That opportunity is now here"

<h3>Returning to Reima’s Career Roots</h3>
<p>After two years of expansion into Norway, Denmark, Germany and Poland, <a href="https://www.consid.com/about/news/hello-finland-we-are-here-now/">Consid establishes its presence in Finland</a>. Leading this journey is Reima Soikkeli, CEO of Consid Finland. During his initial days at Consid, he visited our office in Stockholm, bringing him full circle to where his career began.</p>
<p>– In the early stages of my career, I worked for prominent multinational corporations. My academic thesis was completed at Ericsson, and I enjoyed my time there, particularly as the telecommunications industry was booming. I liked the technology and were curious about how things functioned. Afterwards, I was selected to join Telia, then known as Teliasonera, as they introduced their global trainee program. We embarked on this journey right here in Stockholm, gazing down upon Stureplan, the very same view I see from Consid&#8217;s office today. I recall the excitement I felt back then. Now, with 15 years of experience under my belt, it&#8217;s a great pleasure to return, reflects Reima Soikkeli, CEO of Consid Finland.</p>
<p>Reima continued to work at Telia until 2015, primarily in the public sector services and product development of broadband services. In 2016, he transitioned into the IT consulting sector in Finland, assuming roles as a Business Architect at Solita and later as Head of Integration Services Delivery. In 2021, he joined Nortal Finland as a Delivery Director.</p>
<p>– I have always been captivated by entrepreneurship and the essence of business – how to get different parts of a business to work together towards a common goal. In my younger days, I explored various forms of small businesses, but it never led to anything more serious. Instead, I progressed through large multinational companies, gradually moving towards smaller enterprises. It has been a journey toward the dream of building something from the ground up. And that opportunity is now here, asserts Reima Soikkeli, CEO of Consid Finland.</p>
<p>The dream of entrepreneurship prompted Reima to accept the offer, as entrepreneurship also aligns with one of Consid’s core values.</p>
<h3>“Great Individuals Attract Great Individuals”</h3>
<p>Reima has quickly realized that Consid’s entrepreneurial mindset and approach are key factors contributing to the company’s superior performance in comparison to its competitors in Sweden. These qualities also foster a thriving environment for employees.</p>
<p>Since Consids foundation, the company has grown at an annual rate of around 30%, which has made Consid one of Sweden’s leading IT companies over the last 20 years. In 2022, the company crossed the EUR 200 million mark, with a turnover of around EUR 210 million in its financial statement. Today, Consid employs around 1600 people in 43 different locations and has been voted Sweden’s Best Employer for two consecutive years. <a href="https://www.consid.com/about/awards/">As well as has received several other prestigious employer awards.</a></p>
<p>– It is clear that great individuals attract great individuals. I believe that Consid has excelled in selecting the right people. Another insight from my introductory days is Consid&#8217;s high activity level and the &#8216;fail fast&#8217; attitude, Reima Soikkeli shares regarding his initial impressions.</p>
<h3>Consid’s most valuble asset</h3>
<p>Recognizing that its employees are its most valuable asset, Consid is committed to a thriving environment characterized by entrepreneurship, engagement and effect. This commitment is manifested through initiatives such as internal learning programs, mentoring for women in tech, and a strong emphasis on work-life balance, in line with ambitious sustainability goals.</p>
<p>– For instance, we invest in local offices in Sweden outside major cities, creating a more balanced lifestyle for those who prefer not to reside in cities like Stockholm. This is one aspect where I see Consid differentiating itself from its competitors, aligning with our people-first philosophy that respects both employees and customers, Reima Soikkeli observes.</p>
<p>Despite some variances between Finnish and Swedish corporate cultures, Reima Soikkeli views these as minor differences.</p>
<h3>In Finland to grow Consid</h3>
<p>With a &#8220;get things done&#8221; attitude and profound respect for people, Reima is currently focused on expanding Consid&#8217;s operations in Finland.</p>
<p>– I have got the keys to our office in Helsinki, alongside our first recruiter, Veera Uoti, and a signed salesperson Salla Lummi. What matters most to me, and my primary goal, is to grow our presence in Finland. Focusing on recruiting new consultants, acquiring new clients, and nurturing our team, Reima explains.</p>
<p>Consid&#8217;s Finnish operations are primarily centered on software development work, recognizing substantial opportunities in the Finnish market. Initially, we are seeking experienced software developers who want to be involved in starting up Consid’s operations in Finland and aim to accelerate visions into reality through sustainable digitization.</p>
<p>– As a senior developer, you seek engaging projects with a touch of challenge. We are currently identifying appealing assignments. It&#8217;s important to note that we are not a startup; we have a solid core team and experience from our ventures in other locations and several countries, Reima concludes.</p>

Engaging with one of Consid's Expanding Web Team

We meet one of our web teams during a "Motivation Monday" in Örebro, Sweden. How do they collectively initiate new projects? How many websites has the team launched in a single autumn? Furthermore, what words encapsulate the essence of the web team? The web team shares insights into these queries and more as we gain firsthand experience of being a part of their team spirit.

<h3>Spreading Joy and Digital Expertise</h3>
<p>Sophie Enqvist is our consulting manager at Consid Skövde, who also works as a Digital Experience Development Manager and technical project leader.</p>
<p>– At the moment, I&#8217;m nearing the end of a project where I have the main responsibility for coordinating final testing and delivery of a website. My days consist of closely collaborating with the team to discuss delivery packages, requirements, and solutions, as well as with the client to plan testing phases and the launch plan, shares Sophie Enqvist.</p>
<p>Sophie&#8217;s highlights of her days at Consid are &#8220;the fantastic atmosphere in the office&#8221; that she describes. Moreover, Sophie herself has been recognized by colleagues for creating an extra pleasant work environment.</p>
<p>– At Consid, joy and collaboration flourish, and everyone is a part of it.</p>
<h3>Strong Entrepreneurship Meeting People&#8217;s Needs</h3>
<p>Sophie has a strong entrepreneurial spirit and is always open to adventures. Previously, she saved whales in New Zealand – now, alongside her work at Consid, she runs her own chocolate company called BonBon.</p>
<p>– Chocolate is more than a treat; it is something that takes center stage when people gather, especially during holidays, and is associated with specific emotions.</p>
<p>Sophie sees the beauty in meeting people&#8217;s needs both in her work at Consid and as an entrepreneur. This summer, Sophie plans to launch an e-commerce platform for BonBon Chokladbolag. She describes how she leverages all her knowledge and experience in IT. She brings her understanding of user behavior on websites, knowledge of how the web works, and the courage to pursue something new for herself.</p>
<p>– At the moment, I have built everything in one environment, and now, during the summer, I will do a production launch. It involves ensuring that all connections to payment systems, code, and databases continue to function even on a new domain, concludes Sophie as she wishes everyone a happy summer.</p>

Joel Melin

Meet Joel Melin

Joel Melin excels in balancing his work and personal life. Through his great passion for music, he has discovered several similarities with his work in web development. At Consid, he experiences appreciation and support for both his interests and work. Most recently, a release party was organized at the office for Joel's latest single.

Joel Melin release

<h3>&#8220;The appreciation from all the fantastic colleagues was immensely heartwarming.&#8221;</h3>
<p>Joel Melin is one of our experienced web developers working at the Kalmar office. Two years ago, Joel was enticed to be part of shaping Consid&#8217;s new meeting place in the city. Nowadays, Joel&#8217;s workdays are filled with intense coding and exciting meetings.</p>
<p>– The best part of my days is definitely the colleagues and the positive atmosphere and camaraderie in the office, Joel explains.</p>
<p>The office always has various enjoyable activities, and recently, a release party was organized for Joel and his band&#8217;s newly released single.</p>
<p>– It turned out to be an incredibly fun evening, where the support, interest, and appreciation from all the fantastic colleagues were immensely heartwarming. It&#8217;s a memory I will cherish for a long time.</p>
<h3>Similarities between a web developer and a musician</h3>
<p>Joel has had an interest in music for as long as he can remember, and the band One For The Many has become a natural continuation. The band consists of Joel and his bandmate Kevin, who lives in Sundsvall.</p>
<p>– Fortunately, we both have home studios and good knowledge of music production, so we can record our own parts and send files to each other to then mix the songs together.</p>
<p>Joel sees several similarities between his roles as a web developer and a musician: creativity, the importance of both seeing the big picture and paying attention to details, in symbiosis with a desire to create. Furthermore, his background in IT has influenced the way he creates music.</p>
<p>– We constantly seek the thrill of creating something we&#8217;re proud of, whether it&#8217;s a solution to a problem, a website, or a great song. Through my professional life, I have also learned the importance of iteration (repeating and improving). It&#8217;s incredibly crucial for developing a website, just as it is for creating a well-produced song.</p>

Meet Benjamin Huynh

At Consid, he dedicates his time to creative and interactive design, and during the summer break, he pursues his great passion for food. Take part in a summer greeting from our Art Director, Benjamin Huynh, whose understanding of all aspects of businesses and ability to "zoom in and out" between each area also gives him the strength to run a summer restaurant.

_dsc4942-2-1

<h3>Creating impact as an Art Director at Consid</h3>
<p>Benjamin Huynh is one of our experienced Art Directors based at Consid&#8217;s Jönköping office. For 2 years, Benjamin has been part of Consid, bringing his extensive experience in AD and UX/UI design.</p>
<p>– I structure and design by seeing the big picture. When a client comes to us saying they need X, we try to understand what the client wants to achieve to determine if the solution is right. By identifying the underlying problem, we can pave the way to the solution. What should we do, why should we do it, and how should we do it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Benjamin continues:</p>
<p>– With experience under my belt, it&#8217;s easy to think that the work becomes easier, but each meeting presents new exciting challenges that need to be tackled in their own arena.&#8221;</p>
<p>Design needs to be connected to the client&#8217;s specific impact goals, based on the client&#8217;s business objectives. Moreover, good design can be defined by the ten principles set by German designer Dieter Rams. Additionally, the connection between design and impact goals allows for evaluation of design efforts. Value is realized when products are used, as we can start measuring and comparing them against the set metrics, explains Benjamin.</p>
<p>– When the client is genuinely interested and curious, we, as partners, have a greater chance of achieving measurable and excellent results. These are the assignments I call &#8216;gems&#8217;,&#8221; shares Benjamin, who works with multiple clients simultaneously.</p>
<h3>One of many creative ideas</h3>
<p>Benjamin&#8217;s desire to create something that leaves an impression on the recipient has been with him for a long time. Growing up in a family involved in the restaurant industry, his passion for food has developed, while he has also gained insights into how to work practically and strategically with the needs, desires, and challenges of customers.</p>
<p>– One of my big dreams is to one day cook for the Nobel Banquet. But right now, I&#8217;m focused on realizing one of my restaurant ideas that I have saved among my notes on my mobile.</p>
<p>The summer restaurant, Lilla Delin, that Benjamin mentions, has opened on the beach in Skummeslöv, Båstad, in a converted container. Benjamin sees significant advantages from his experience as an Art Director when it comes to planning and opening the restaurant.</p>
<p>– I have placed a strong emphasis on the connection between the big picture and the details, especially concerning the restaurant&#8217;s graphic profile. For example, I chose a pink shade to stand out on the beach and create a visual contrast to the blue tones of the sky and sea, as well as the green and yellow tones of the sand and grass, sends Benjamin greetings from Båstad.</p>

Meet Christian Møller

We are welcoming Christian Møller, our new Product Owner in Copenhagen. Christian's unwavering commitment to growth and compassion intertwines with Consid's vibrant culture, propelling them to new heights! Prepare for a journey where positivity and determination collide – together with his colleagues Christian leads the way in the dynamic cityscape of Copenhagen.

<p>– People say I am positive and easy-going. Friends and family say I am <em>too</em> positive and easy-going. To which I say: ‘Thank you!’ and smile. I am also very stubborn and competitive, which you will discover if we ever meet for a friendly game of practically anything.</p>


<p>– The holy trinity. I had a very memorable first interview with Carl Hagberg, CEO Consid Denmark, Martin Nygren, Head of International Recruitment, and Christoffer Thiel, Sales. It quickly became clear to me that Consid is a company where you are allowed to dream big, and if you work hard those dreams will come true.</p>


<p>– I really like to welcome new colleagues – luckily for me that seems to happen every single month. We are forming an energetic culture built on trust and compassion. And when I say compassion, I also mean honest, constructive feedback – in my opinion this is the way! Watching the team grow and seeing our culture flourish, is what I cherish and look forward to the most.</p>


<p>– I love to build products and services that are serious about their CX. I take pride in awesome graphics and animations, wholesome end-to-end customer journeys as well as tech standards and DevOps that leaves end users feeling impressed and properly cared for. If a user experience a serious bug and are kind enough to let us know about it, I will do everything in my power to turn that unfortunate experience into a good one by solving it as fast as possible.</p>

Pride Month, a month dedicated to highlighting the collective struggle for equal rights within the LGBTQIA+ community, is now nearing its end. To shed light on the issue of equal worth for all and contribute to increased knowledge on how to work towards a more inclusive world, Consid has handed over the floor to some of our employees throughout June. From different perspectives, they have raised questions and thoughts concerning inclusion and LGBTQIA+ matters on our social media platforms. The purpose has been to foster a more open debate and allow more voices to be heard in order to deepen understanding of issues related to LGBTQIA+ and equality.

<h2>Pride Month: Word&#8217;s from Consid&#8217;s employees</h2>
<h3>Johanna Hjalmarsson, UX designer</h3>
<p>– For me, it is important to share and be open and transparent about what life can be like when living outside the norm, regardless of which norm it may be. Because if we don&#8217;t share how it is, how will people then understand and learn to see things from multiple perspectives and how they can contribute or influence? Therefore, it feels very exciting and rewarding to be a part of this panel conversation, says Johanna Hjalmarsson, UX designer at Consid.</p>
<p>Johanna Hjalmarsson, who works at Consid in Linköping, began the month by participating in a panel discussion organized by Sankt Kors and East Sweden Tech Women during Linköping Pride Week. The theme was inclusion in the workplace.</p>
<p>– As someone who lives outside the heterosexual norm, I need to &#8216;come out&#8217; in every social context and with every person I meet. It contributes to an almost constant stress and concern about how people will react or if they will have biases that color their perception of my professional competence or me as an individual. Therefore, I strive to raise awareness among those who do not experience this themselves, so that through their actions and choice of words, they can contribute to creating a more inclusive atmosphere for me and other LGBTQIA+ individuals both within and outside the workplace, says Johanna Hjalmarsson.</p>
<h3>Danny Lam, UX designer</h3>
<p>Similar to Johanna Hjalmarsson, Danny Lam from Consid Gothenburg also discussed the process of coming out when the floor was passed to him:</p>
<p>– It took me many, many years before I came out to anyone. What no one told me was that coming out is not a one-time event—it is a continuous process. A process that is always equally nerve-wracking and frightening. You don&#8217;t know how others will react. Most of the time, it is an unnecessary worry; people are generally accepting today, even in small Sweden. But the fear still lingers. The fear that someone might suddenly change their tone and body language, the fear that someone might be disgusted, the fear that someone might even become aggressive. The fear is constantly there, every time you enter a new room, a new context, a new meeting. Should I say &#8216;partner&#8217; instead of boyfriend/girlfriend? What if they keep misgendering my partner? Should I say anything at all?&#8221;</p>
<h3>Therese Ericson, Regional Manager and Office Manager at Consid in Karlskrona, Sweden</h3>
<p>A crucial factor for many in daring to be themselves, for example, in the workplace, is the tone and atmosphere that prevails. Creating an open and inclusive environment often starts with leadership and a manager who takes the lead. Therese Ericson, Regional Manager and Office Manager at Consid Karlskrona, writes about how, as a leader, she must set the tone and provides her best tips for creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.</p>
<p>– For me, having an inclusive corporate culture that includes everyone is a matter of the heart, and unfortunately, it is far from a given in all companies. As a leader, I can make a difference and have an impact. It is up to me to set the tone for how we should be in our office! says Therese Ericson.</p>
<p>Therese continues:</p>
<p>– It is important to educate oneself and stay updated, open up your mind, especially if you belong to what is considered the norm, react and take action immediately when you see the possibility of exclusion, consider how you communicate, which words you use, and listen and provide support!&#8221;</p>
<h3>Filippa Ahlcrona, HR and recruiting at Consid in Malmö, Sweden</h3>
<p>It has been over 50 years since the first Pride parade, also known as Christopher Street Liberation Day March, was held in Manhattan. It served as a way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising and demand equal rights and protection for the LGBTQIA+ community. Filippa Ahlcrona, from Consid in Malmö, writes in her post about why the issue of LGBTQIA+ rights is just as important to discuss today as it was back then:</p>
<p>– This is an important issue because acceptance is still not a given. Often, people believe they are inclusive/accepting, but unfortunately, old and outdated patterns of behavior and thinking still exist. We have made progress, but we still have a long way to go. I believe it is important to discuss these topics in the workplace, for understanding leads to acceptance (most of the time). There are still outdated myths circulating that do not align with LGBTQIA+ individuals, and at work, we spend 80% of our time.</p>
<h3>Thank you for sharing!</h3>
<p>Equal worth for all, the right to be oneself, and the freedom to love whoever one chooses are fundamental principles at Consid every day of the year. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences during this month!</p>

Michael-CPH

Director of Sales and Business Development in Denmark

Meet Michael Lund-Andersen

Our new Director of Sales and Business Development in Denmark, Michael Lund-Andersen, has settled in at Consid after a few months in his new role. Recently, Michael and his colleagues establishes presence on H.C. Andersen Boulevard in central Copenhagen when moving in to our office at Holckenhus, an old renaissance mansion. Which also happened to be Michael's home back in the early 2000s. Get to know Michael Lund-Andersen as he tells his story within the digital business and IT industry – and writes a new one together with Consid.

<h2>Building a Future in One’s Former Home: Michael Lund-Andersen&#8217;s Journey with Consid</h2>
<p>For almost two decades Michael has worked within the digital business and IT industry, holding several senior-level positions.</p>
<p>– Throughout most of my career I have helped develop my clients’ digital journeys. The scope of these positions and subject areas extends to a wide range of responsibilities including; sales/account management, market strategies, and team management in different business areas, says Michael Lund-Andersen.</p>
<p>Michael has demonstrated his competences by navigating the ever-evolving digital market. Notably, he accomplished this by running his own company back in the 2010s and successfully expanding Novicell&#8217;s operations in Copenhagen from a modest team of 4 to a thriving workforce of over 50 people. Which is why he brings in a lot of valuable expertise to the newly established Consid office in Denmark, as he has taken the start-up journey several times before.</p>
<p>– When you start from scratch with a limited setup it is extremely important that you are dedicated and patient during ups and downs. It takes a lot of hard work to build up something new and you can’t really predict where the process will take you which is a huge part of a journey like the one I have started with Consid.</p>
<h3>Focus on finding the brightest IT consultants in Denmark</h3>
<p>Back in April, when Michael started his journey with Consid, he made himself a new goal &#8211; to build a workplace with the combination of skilled people, a good work/life balance and a fun place to work. As the Director of Sales and Business Development he will be responsible for the <a href="https://consid.se/en/office/copenhagen/">growth in both client intake and recruitment of top-level IT experts</a> and secure that the Consid’s spirit will be integrated in the Danish part of the organization.</p>
<p>– One of the primary reasons behind my decision to join Consid, is our dedication to solve things quickly and to the point. There is no complex hieracia interfering in the strategy for how we should run the business in Denmark.</p>
<p>Michael continues:</p>
<p>– Consid Denmark should be built for the Danish market with the best values and processes from the mothership. In Consid we firmly believe that building a good business and deliver a high quality can be achieved without the need for complex organizational structures. I am excited to be a part of this journey and I look forward to writing a new chapter together with Consid.</p>
<h3>A creative place to work – with high skills</h3>
<p>In May 2023 Michael and his colleagues got the keys to our new, newly renovated, premises in an old building with a lot of stories to be told – one of them is Michaels:</p>
<p>– Our new office is Holckenhus at H.C. Andersens Boulevard is a happy reunion with my old home. Holckenhus was my home in the early 2000’s, where I and a group of friends lived in the old renaissance mansion, Michael tells us.</p>
<p>With its rich artistic history, Holckenhus was used as a meeting place for artists and intellectuals in the 18th century, with the most famous residents being Marie and P.S. Krøyer. Later, the building was also used as a workshop for Vilhelm Hammershøi. Today, Holckenhus houses several arts and cultural organizations that continue to build on the rich artistic heritage in the building. As well as Consid, developing digital solutions for the future.</p>
<p>At Consid, offices have become an integral part of the brand, as the surroundings contribute to the company’s strategy of enhancing employee well-being. At Consid, the office is not merely a place to work but rather should feel like a second home, a place people willingly choose to be.</p>
<p>– In less than 6 months we have expanded with over 20 new colleagues in Denmark and counting, and over 7 new clients since February 2023. I am really looking forward to writing a new chapter, with Consid,  says Michael.</p>

Jan Bidner, Office Manager at Consid in Umeå.

jan-bidner

Office Manager at Consid in Umeå, Sweden

Meet Jan Bidner

Jan Bidner, a multifaceted IT expert, has returned to the IT consulting industry. As the new Office Manager for Consid in Umeå, he places emphasis on people; employees, users, and customers. Discover why Jan chose to return to the industry and join Consid, and get to know Jan, who among other things has a background as a hospital clown.

<h2>IT comebacker Jan Bidner&#8217;s Vision: &#8220;Umeå&#8217;s Premier IT Workplace&#8221;</h2>
<p>Jan Bidner, the Office Manager in Umeå, is passionate about digitalizing businesses and doing it the right way. To understand the problem before delivering a solution.</p>
<p>The lack of digital solutions focused on users even led him to leave the IT consulting industry after nearly 15 years at Sogeti and Umeå University. After a detour through his own company, Bidnerdonethat, and the communications agency Gullers Grupp, he is now back.</p>
<p>– And now, it&#8217;s Consid. Why? Because I genuinely care about digitalization. Not just providing solutions and pre-packaged technological answers. Designing around people&#8217;s and organizations&#8217; needs is a matter of professional pride for me. Digitalization should happen on the customer&#8217;s terms. Period. It is for these reasons that I return to the IT industry—and particularly to Consid—because I believe we share this focus. It is in the interaction between people and technology that value and impact are created, shares Jan Bidner and continues:</p>
<p>– It also feels like customers have started to awaken more in that regard. They are no longer just ordering technology solutions but have begun to awaken more in terms of needs, problems, and users.</p>
<h3>Experienced and versatile IT expert</h3>
<p>Jan has a wealth of experience starting from 2003 in the IT industry. He has worked as a requirement specifier, web designer, project manager, strategist, UX designer, and gamification expert—before venturing out and starting his own company. As an entrepreneur, he has helped companies &#8220;develop their operations and digitalize their customer journeys using design-driven methods.</p>
<p>What experiences do you bring from your career into your role as the Office Manager in Umeå?</p>
<p>– As a systems developer, I&#8217;m driven by curiosity and the desire to understand and explain, and then to transform and improve, explains Jan.</p>
<h3>Always focused on people</h3>
<p>As a leader, Jan&#8217;s strengths are his attentiveness, curiosity, and lack of ego. He also prioritizes people, particularly employees.</p>
<p>– The most important thing is not to know everything, be right all the time, or consistently pursue your own agenda. One must listen to employees to channel the group and meet the organization&#8217;s needs. However, one must also be the one who makes clear decisions in the end. Employees should feel secure in that. Customers too. I&#8217;m quite adept at analyzing needs and behaviors. In addition, my 20 years of moonlighting as a hospital clown have also taught me a lot about attentive meetings, adds Jan.</p>
<p>Jan Bidner has a clear vision for his role as the Office Manager — to make Umeå&#8217;s office the city&#8217;s best IT workplace. He is supported in this vision by Consid, which has been awarded Sweden&#8217;s Best Employer for the past two years.</p>
<p>– I believe we will succeed. We have a solid foundation to build upon at the office, with competent consultants who are also very kind. We have a positive atmosphere that I&#8217;m confident will spread to everyone who becomes part of our organization.</p>

lars-napret

Regional Manager for Consid in Northern Germany

Meet Lars Napret

Meet Lars Napret, our new Regional Manager for Consid in Northern Germany. With the dot-com bubble as a starting point, he adds over 20 years of experience in the IT consulting sector to Consid. Now, Lars Napret is going to write and tell Consid's story further in Germany.

<h2>He is setting the foundation for Consid&#8217;s organic growth in Germany</h2>
<p>When meeting Lars, he has just visited our office in Karlskrona together with several of the Consid employees from <a href="https://consid.se/en/office/hamburg/">Hamburg</a>. Consid&#8217;s founders Peter Hellgren and Henrik Sandell were also present.</p>
<p>– There was everything from informative presentations to late-night barbecues. A completely different corporate culture than many of us have experienced at previous German workplaces. We had fun days together, says Lars Napret.</p>
<p>Like the founders Peter Hellgren and Henrik Sandell&#8217;s journey with Consid, Lars Napret started his journey in the IT consulting sector during the dot-com bubble. A flourishing time that turned the opposite for many.</p>
<p>– When I started my journey in the IT consulting sector, I had to use both my skills in web development and business administration. I spent my first 10 years at Logica, then worked for 3 years at a smaller consulting firm and most recently, I have been at CGI for 10 years. I have been in the IT consulting sector for over 23 years now, and the time has been marked by both challenges and opportunities.</p>
<p>Lars&#8217; latest role at CGI was as Vice President Consulting Services responsible for over 100 employees in three industries: retail, telecom, and media.</p>
<h3>Why Consid?</h3>
<p>Lars shares that he had long had a desire to work for a Swedish company. Already in 2004, he had plans to move to Sweden, which never materialized. In addition, Lars and his wife spent a lovely honeymoon driving around in Sweden. But a message on LinkedIn was to awaken the idea of Sweden again.</p>
<p>– As Vice President Consulting Services at CGI, I received thousands of messages on LinkedIn. But since the message came from a Swedish company, I spent some time looking at the website. I ended up on the page for Consid&#8217;s office, saw the pictures, and thought &#8216;wow&#8217;, says Lars with a smile.</p>
<p>Initially, Lars was just playing with the idea of becoming a part of Consid. But after each meeting, it became clearer to him that &#8220;the Swedish corporate culture that Consid has was what I was missing&#8221;.</p>
<h3>Tangible corporate culture</h3>
<p><a href="https://consid.se/en/news/swedish-it-company-makes-waves-with-successful-expansion-into-hamburg/">Consid makes waves with successful expansion into Hamburg</a>. With 23 years of experience and strong relationships with the best in the industry, Lars is well aware of the opportunities in Hamburg&#8217;s IT market.</p>
<p>– The fact that virtually all major players in the IT consulting sector are present in Hamburg makes competition for expertise tough. At the same time, the economy is strained. But there are market shares to be won, especially in the public sector where we are about 3 years behind with digitalization compared to Sweden.</p>
<p>As Regional Manager, Lars is now laying the foundation and creating space for Consid&#8217;s organic growth in northern Germany. In this work, Lars&#8217; strong storytelling ability fits well, and becomes even clearer as he continues to tell us about Consid&#8217;s why in Germany.</p>
<p>– Consid&#8217;s Swedish corporate culture is our value proposition – it is and will continue to be tangible for both employees and customers. I want to create a credible experience of the corporate culture for everyone at Consid&#8217;s meeting place in Hamburg, says Lars, hinting that they are now visiting many exciting office spaces to find the right one in both Hamburg and possibly even in other German cities.</p>
<p>Lars continues:</p>
<p>– I also want to position Consid as a hands on partner for digital business models. We don&#8217;t just want to implement concepts, but also develop both strategy and solutions by sharing insights.</p>

Meet Dena Waern

In an era where data is generated from almost everything we do, she hunts for real-time curves and never shies away from an analytical challenge. Dena Waern is our Data/Business Analyst and one of the Consid employees who helps our clients become data-driven. Meet Dena as she reflects on how data creates insight and how the world's focus on AI creates significant needs to truly understand data.

<h2>The Data Enthusiast who Prefers Numbers over Words</h2>
<p>With over 10 years of industry experience in the automotive sector, Dena has worked in everything from data analysis, innovation project management, programming, automation, to testing. However, when the pandemic hit in 2020, she decided to pursue a long-term goal: to take the next step in data science.</p>
<p>– I prefer numbers over words and began a specialist education within data science. Right after completing the training, I was able to apply my skills in the field, Dena shares.</p>
<p>After another year, she joined Consid,  with Volvo AB as a client. When asked why she chose to switch to our consulting firm, Dena is quick to talk about the people.</p>
<p>– The culture is so important to me! At Consid, we support each other in the team. It is a genuine company where, for example, we work on equality and diversity for real, she says.</p>
<p>Dena also highlights that at Consid, she was able to get her desired direction for her role, focusing more on data and, most importantly, helping clients create value from data.</p>
<h3>The World&#8217;s Focus on AI Creates Significant Needs to Truly Understand Data</h3>
<p>Currently, the most exciting part of being a Data/Business Analyst for Dena is gathering information to project how things will look in the future, leading to faster and better decisions.</p>
<p>When talking about the future, AI naturally comes up as a topic of conversation. Dena predicts that companies will develop their own AI tools and create &#8220;a kind of company-specific ChatGPT that can streamline processes significantly, placing higher demands on data scientists.&#8221;</p>
<p>– The tools to collect data already exist. The question is: How can we use them? What processes can we simplify, and how can existing organizations become more agile with the help of AI? An exciting development for us who have expertise in both business and data analysis, she adds.</p>
<p>Dena is now looking forward to working with even more consid employees who are passionate about data and want to be part of the effort. <a href="https://consid.se/en/career/open-positions/">As we are looking for people to join Consid.</a></p>


Get to know our colleagues!

Meet Lena Fahrenkrug

Consid continues to accelerate in Germany after a remarkable start. With Hamburg's vibrant and creative business environment as our first step, we are now placing great emphasis on building the company we have always wanted to work for, and one that quality-conscious customers want to work with. One of our new employees who is shaping this journey is Lena Fahrenkrug. Our enthusiastic, structured, and curious Sales Manager in Hamburg.

<h2>Sales Manager in Germany: &#8220;Consid&#8217;s Swedish corporate culture is our absolute advantage&#8221;</h2>
<p>We are thrilled to welcome Lena Fahrenkrug to Consid, and Lena is equally excited, as she will be building up our sales team in <a href="https://consid.se/en/office/hamburg/">Hamburg</a>.</p>
<p>– I have a bachelor&#8217;s and master&#8217;s degree in business psychology, specializing in marketing and sales. At that time, my heart was most passionate about marketing, and I started at a marketing agency. Within that time, I became a freelancer in the field of consulting, Lena explains.</p>
<p>But as she had her own business, Lena also needed to work with sales to secure assignments and to succeed.</p>
<p>– For me, sales are not just about delivering good results in numbers. It&#8217;s about matching people with needs by getting to know them. There is nothing I love more than seeing people happy.</p>
<p>Therefore, Lena continued to work in sales. Most recently, she worked at one of the top three staffing and recruiting companies in STEM &#8211; SThree.</p>
<p>– At SThree, we had a 360-degree approach, which meant that we worked with both clients and freelance IT experts. I had to find clients and build all client relationships from scratch. In this time period, I developed my negotiation and objection handling skills. I managed to build relationships with clients such as Dräger, Boeing, and Generali. How did I establish those working relationships?<br />
People want to be heard; therefore, I listened and found a way to help them.</p>
<h3>&#8220;Consid&#8217;s Swedish corporate culture is our absolute advantage&#8221;</h3>
<p>It was during the fall of 2022 when Sweden&#8217;s best employer came to Germany. Lena confirms that <a href="https://consid.se/en/news/swedish-it-company-makes-waves-with-successful-expansion-into-hamburg/">there is a huge interest in the Swedish corporate culture in Hamburg</a>.</p>
<p>– At Consid, I have the chance to build the most rewarding, engaging, and healthy workplace. I decided to choose Consid when I saw the corporate culture at the Swedish offices. It inspired me &#8211; seeing is believing.</p>
<p>Lena continues:</p>
<p>– All of my new colleagues, that I have met at Consid, always have a positive attitude, show engagement, and create real impact. Consid&#8217;s Swedish corporate culture is our absolute advantage and thus shapes our future growth and profitability.</p>
<h3>Creating a digital world by caring about people’s needs</h3>
<p>In addition to building a sales team that will achieve success through collaboration, Lena will also open work relationships with new clients. With the goal of contributing to a better society through innovative digital solutions.</p>
<p>– I am a very curious person. I always want to understand and learn. I cannot code, and most likely never will. But I have developed a great understanding of IT to understand client needs.</p>
<p>Consid&#8217;s vision of building tomorrow&#8217;s infrastructure and striving to offer solutions that enable sustainable development of both our society and our economy, fits well in Hamburg. Hamburg has long been recognized as Northern Europe&#8217;s economic center – with many skilled developers and other IT personnel, as well as some of Europe&#8217;s top IT education centers.</p>
<p>– What motivates me is creating a digital world to match humanity&#8217;s future needs. Therefore, I must understand the interest of a client within the bigger picture and match them with skilled motivated people.</p>


Meet Fabian Ottho

Meet Fabian Ottho, one of the first employees at Consid in Oslo. He tells us about his day to day job as a Key Account Manager, and what it is like working at the office in Oslo.

<h2>6 quick questions with Fabian Ottho</h2>
<h3>What does your professional background look like?</h3>
<p>&#8211; I started my career as a salesperson at Elkjøp and was named Norway&#8217;s best salesperson in the period 2013 to 2014. At the same time, I completed my bachelors at BI in Trondheim, and had an exchange year in Suzhou, China. After finishing my degree, I worked in sales at Visma and Norsk Gjenvinning, before I started at Consid.</p>
<h3>What made you choose Consid?</h3>
<p>&#8211; Having the opportunity to build something new from scratch is something I see as a &#8220;once in a lifetime opportunity&#8221;. At the same time, you have the security of solid owners and a well-established company in Sweden as a backing. Consid has big ambitions, and I see it as a good opportunity to build experiences and relationships in a growing industry.</p>
<h3>What does a typical day at Consid look like?</h3>
<p>&#8211; A typical day involves working closely with customers and projects. In addition, we work with tenders, which is extra exciting when we bring in large customers such as Oslo municipality. Furthermore, a lot goes into creating new customer agreements and setting up consultants with projects ahead of time. Now the focus is on the new employees that start in February, since we get everything from .Net, UX and Java. It will be fun!</p>
<h3>What is the best thing about Consid?</h3>
<p>&#8211; The best thing about Consid is the great team I have around me every day. What a skilled group of salespeople, HR, market and, not least, consultants. Something that also makes working for Consid extra fun is the investment in you as an individual, you are seen and noticed and there is a strong focus on developing the employees socially and professionally.</p>
<h3>What are your top tips for achieving successful results as a Key Account Manager?</h3>
<p>&#8211; Being successful in sales is complex. One must be available and show your face, often. Build relationships with customers and the surrounding network so that the customer feels that we do all the work for them so that they can shine in front of their boss again. It is also important to have industry knowledge and know which stack your customers are on. In this way, you know which consultants you can offer to the customers, before they start. For me, it is also important that the consultant is involved in the sales process, and is not thrust upon them with an assignment they do not want. Then you get satisfied customers, consultants and the job becomes much more fun.</p>
<h3>What do you like to do in your spare time?</h3>
<p>&#8211; During the weekends, I like to be at the cabin and relax both in the mountains and by the sea. This is where I relax and gather my strength. I am particularly interested in training and diet, and I am also a huge fan of Chris Bumstead. We&#8217;ve also got a Nintendo Switch in the office, so the lunch break is often used to crush my colleagues.</p>

sandrareinecke-2

First day as a trainee at Consid 

Today we welcome our new talented trainees to our Consid offices all around Sweden. One of them is Sandra Reinecke. We met up with Sandra for a quick chat to ask about her expectations of the trainee program, why she first hesitated to study computer engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and about her commitment to teach young people programming. Read our chat below!

<h3>Hello Sandra and welcome to Consid! You are one of our new trainees, what caught your interest in joining Consid Next Level Academy?</h3>
<p>– I browsed video interviews with previous trainees and immediately felt that &#8216;this is something I want to be a part of&#8217;. As a trainee at Consid, I get a mentor throughout the program while getting the chance to participate in relevant training, so it will be a perfect start to my career!</p>
<p>We meet an thrilled Sandra at our office in Stockholm. This is where she will work together with other trainees and IT consultants, learn new things and have fun.</p>
<p>– The fact that Consid and the trainee program Next Level Academy have received many awards and prizes, makes me feel that I have joined a great company, she says happily.</p>
<p><a href="https://consid.se/en/news/next-level-academy-named-one-of-swedens-best-trainee-programs/">Consid Next Level Academy has been awarded as one of Sweden&#8217;s most attractive trainee programs</a> – according to the students themselves.</p>
<h3>Straight from computer engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology</h3>
<p>Sandra arrives at Consid right after from her studies at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. But she notes that it was actually only a few years before she &#8220;dared to embark on an education in computer science&#8221;.</p>
<p>– At first I was a little unsure if computer technology really was the right path for me, since the majority of those who study the education are boys. I didn&#8217;t feel like I fit in. But I&#8217;ve always enjoyed math and problem solving. So when I realized that programming is also a form of problem solving with room to be creative, I got hooked.</p>
<p>– In 10 years, I also believe that we will have a more equal IT industry and that there will be as many women as men studying IT in Sweden.</p>
<p>Now there is no doubt that system development is perfect for Sandra. She lights up when she speaks about further specializing in the field.</p>
<p>– But I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll discover more areas within the field and get the chance to learn plenty.</p>
<h3>Teaching young people programming</h3>
<p>Sandra&#8217;s passion for programming and technology has also resulted in other young people to develop their skills. Within the non-profit organization Hello World, she teaches programming.</p>
<p>– I think that all children interested in programming and technology should have the chance to learn more. I want to be a role model when it comes to these topics and show that it is something that everyone can learn, no matter who you are.</p>
<p><strong>What are your top three tips for young people who are considering a career in tech?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>
<blockquote><p><strong>Be brave enough to start and believe in yourself! It can be difficult in the beginning, when you are learning something new, but if you are stubborn it will pay off.</strong></p></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote><p><strong>Ask for help! There are lots of people who already work in tech, get in touch with someone and ask questions. Linkedin is a great site for finding different companies and people who work in the industry.</strong></p></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote><p><strong>Learning to program can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start, but the truth is that where your start doesn&#8217;t matter because once you learn one programming language it becomes easier to learn another.</strong></p></blockquote>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Before Sandra continues her first day as a trainee at Consid, we take the opportunity to ask about her expectations of the trainee program.</p>
<p>– I will learn lots of new things while I will get the chance to get to know many ambitious and smart people. It will be a great environment to develop in. I&#8217;m super excited, concludes Sandra and joins the group of new trainees.</p>


Meet Albin Willman

6 quick questions with Albin Willman, our full stack developer in Gothenburg.

<h2>6 quick questions with Albin Willman</h2>
<p><strong>Describe your professional journey leading up to today?</strong></p>
<p>– My professional journey began when I, through my ex-job supervisors&#8217; network, ended up in the start-up scene. I started as the first developer at a small company that dealt with patient recruitment and data collection around clinical studies. There I was from &#8216;git init&#8217; to production-set platform that generated actual revenue. Then it was time to return home to Gothenburg and become a consultant to get some more impressions. I worked for a few years with debt collection web, e-commerce and CMS tools before I ended up at Consid. At Consid, I ended up where I had begun, working with clinical data as when I started my career – but now on the academic side. I joined SCAPIS – a project sponsored by the Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation to promote basic research on heart and lung diseases. In this project, Consid&#8217;s mission is to build a database and tools to be able to make extracts for researchers.</p>
<p><strong>What challenges have you encountered while working with SCAPIS?</strong></p>
<p>– SCAPIS initially put one of my own ideas to the test. We code mainly in Java and when I started working with the project I had barely read a series of Java code in 10 years – so I had to learn a lot of what was new technology for me. I was mainly brought into the project because of my background in clinical data – and the idea was to act as a link between the development team and the academic side, acting as a client. One thing I detected was the cultural difference between academic research and agile software development. In academia, one&#8217;s career and opportunities are driven by the publications one produces. A publication is completely static, when finished, you can never change anything and what you have written will be part of your CV for the rest of your professional life. This differs noticeably from code – where you can fix bugs or make changes relatively quickly and easily. Before realizing this culture clash, there were a lot of challenges regarding what it took for something to count as ready to publish.</p>
<p><strong>What does a typical day at Consid look like for you?</strong></p>
<p>– I work 95% remotely and with young children my days are not entirely coherent. A standard day starts with a first session of an hour and a half before someone else on the team is up and running, perfect time to graze off some mail-pull-requests and code undisturbed. Then there is a break to leave the children at the preschool before it is time for morning meetings, stand-up with the team and general reconciliations. After that, it&#8217;s back to coding – or work with more basic feature co-op programming, where we together in the team build in a way so that all developers understand the basics. Other tasks included are some micro-estimates, juggling estimates with our PO and occasional discussions with our architect.</p>
<p><strong>What is the best thing about Consid?</strong></p>
<p>– The trust, I feel that Consid trusts what I do, and in my turn I trust that Consid is there to support me when the need arises.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have any tips for other Full Stack Developers who have made a difference in your work?</strong></p>
<p>– The main thing I want to tell you is that communication is important if you want what you build to do any good. Keep in mind that it can be very difficult to describe problems, especially in writing and if the person you describe the problems to has completely different skills and experience than yourself. I always try to challenge myself to understand where I may have misunderstood an order after I read it. In the long run, in my experience, and I&#8217;ve tested both, it&#8217;s much more wise to ask one or two control questions that you think you have the answers to than to build the wrong thing. On top of that – don&#8217;t marry a language or a specific stack, it&#8217;s way more fun to try new things and programming is programming in the end.</p>
<p><strong>If you had to look to the future – what do you think the IT industry will look like in 10 years?</strong></p>
<p>– I&#8217;ve been in the business for ten years and although a lot has improved, pretty much everything is the same. Tools and methods that emerge continuously facilitate – but the biggest changes in working methods has arrived in the past two years when the corona pandemic, forcing flexibility in work to a greater extent. So I think the basic dynamics will be the same in 10 years, even though the products that we build will be much cooler and the tools to build them will make it much more efficient. Things like more intelligent IDEr with AI-driven code-completion I see are in the direction of the key.</p>

Lily Tsui

IT consultant, Consultant Manager and the new host of Consids podcast "Utveckla"

Meet Lily Tsui

Learn about Lily Tsui, her role at Consid, how she started in the industry and future desires for her podcast. Lily is a IT Consultant, Consultant Manager and the new hosts of Consids podcast "Utveckla". A podcast by developer - for developers and everyone who works with system development. Let’s deep-dive into Lilys thoughts about her commitment to attracting more women and non-binary people into the IT and Tech industry.

<h2><strong>Get to know Lily Tsui</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Hi Lily, what are you doing at Consid?</strong></p>
<p>–I work as a Consultant, but also as a Consultant Manager. As a Consultant, I sit with customers as a Project Manager or Product Owner and Scrum Master – so it&#8217;s very mixed.</p>
<p><strong>How did you get into the it and tech industry?</strong></p>
<p>– I was really lucky, you could say. It was an old ex of mine who said, &#8220;you like IT and data, right? Wouldn&#8217;t computer and systems science be interesting?&#8221; So I applied, and got into my first pick – computer science and systems science with a focus on business systems at Stockholm University. I didn&#8217;t understand anything the first year – what is an ERP system? But it was the best choice ever, I love working with IT. I have been at Consid for five months now.</p>
<p><strong>You are the new host of Consid&#8217;s podcast Develop, what made you take that chance?</strong></p>
<p>– I love learning new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. I&#8217;ve listened to the podcast before and learned a lot, so I&#8217;m looking forward to learning even more new things from interesting guests.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Utveckla&#8221; is a podcast created by developers, for developers and everyone who works with system development.</em></p>
<p><strong>Is there any particular topic that you already know you want to delve into? </strong></p>
<p>– I think AI is very interesting, we&#8217;ve had a couple of broad sections about it, but it would be fun to delve into something more specific in AI.</p>
<p><strong>You are also the chairman of the association DataTjej. Tell us more!</strong></p>
<p>– DataTjej is a non-profit association that was started in 1998, so we just celebrated 25 years. We are trying to attract more girls, women and non-binary people into the IT and tech industry, but also get them to stay.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it important to have an equal industry?</strong></p>
<p>– The industry is not very equal today and unfortunately, statistically speaking, fewer women and non-binary people are looking to work in the IT field than before. It is alarming that in 2023 we are going backwards, at the same time as AllBright came out with a report that shows that Sweden lacks around 70,000 people in the IT and Tech industry for 2024. We simply cannot afford to lose a large group of people who could potentially work in the industry. There are a lot of myths about the IT industry and it&#8217;s not marketed to girls and non-binary people in the same way, which I think can be a bit of a deterrent. Today we know that everything gets better when we have different types of people involved &#8211; with different types of experiences and backgrounds &#8211; in an organization. It benefits everyone.</p>
<p>Lily is also involved in Consid&#8217;s mentorship program – to inspire young women and non-binary people when it comes to technology. Through Q Mentoria, we want to show all the exciting opportunities that the tech world offers and share our knowledge and expertise in the areas that a potential study and career path in tech can entail. Within the mentorship program, our knowledgeable employees share their knowledge and experience. <a href="https://consid.se/en/about-us/equality/">Read more about Consids gender equality platform Q by Consid.</a></p>

Meet Marcuz Larsen

The team at Consid in Copenhagen is rapidly growing at rocket speed. One of the people involved in establishing our first office in Denmark is Marcuz Larsen. We sat down with Marcuz, our new Senior Frontend Developer, to get to know him and how he will contribute to our journey to next level in Denmark.



<h2>Highly experienced Frontend developer joins Consid in Copenhagen</h2>
<p><strong>Hi Marcuz – you are the new Senior Frontend Developer at Consid in Copenhagen. A warm welcome! We are curious to get to know you better. Who is Marcuz?</strong></p>
<p>– I am an outspoken person, but at the same time I am an introverted 32-year-old guy. People in the office already call me a legend – thank you Lukas! I always try to stay grounded, humble, and want to make sure those around me are doing well. My brain is always running at high gear, and I always have a business idea or programming project going on. I would consider myself being ambitious, driven, and focused on becoming the “best in class.” My close family, friends, and colleagues would say that I talk too much, which is probably due to my many thoughts that need to be expressed – or simply just a trait I have inherited from my mother, Marcus says.</p>
<p><strong>We are so excited to have you on our journey in Copenhagen, Marcuz! What attracted you to Consid as an employer and workplace?</strong></p>
<p>– My entry point to Consid was through Carl Hagberg. He is a close friend of mine and my former boss from the travel industry. He introduced me to Consid in Sweden and the upcoming journey here in Copenhagen. Besides Carl the reason for choosing Consid is that I believe in team-work, people, and results. Additionally, I was trapped in a full-time position where I felt that my progress had reached a standstill.</p>
<p><strong>Consid has had a rocket start here in Copenhagen. What are you most looking forward to as a part of the journey?</strong></p>
<p>– I am especially looking forward to the growth, success, and to contribute to establish Consid’s culture in Denmark.</p>
<p><strong>And as a Senior Frontend Developer - what do you want to develop and what software do you develop in?</strong></p>
<p>– Mainly, I use JavaScript and all the frameworks it offers – React, Vue, Angular, React-Native and NodeJS. Right now, React, React-Native and NodeJS are the frameworks I currently work with and have been working with over the past 6 years. I am particularly interested in programming wow-experiences with complex gesture events and animations for web and applications. I would enjoy continuing to enhance the user experience in the financial sector through applications and websites – to be honest there is so much clutter out there.</p>
<p>Curious about Consid and our open positions in Copenhagen? <a href="https://consid.se/en/office/copenhagen/">Have a look at our office in Copenhagen</a> – and join us on our journey to next level. Together – towards a digital future.</p>

An annual summary of the past year at Consid

22 highlights from 2022 - Consid's best year yet

When entering 2023, we can now look back and reflect on a tremendous Consid year. 2022 will go down in history as Consid's best year by far. So we want to do what has become a signature for us at Consid - celebrate success and pay attention to good initiatives together! There are many highlights, but we want to spotlight 22 of them…

<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong>We are Sweden&#8217;s best employer &#8211; all categories &#8211; for the second year in a row&#8230;</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For the second year in a row, we have been named <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/news/consid-has-been-named-swedens-best-employer/">Sweden&#8217;s best employer</a> &#8211; all categories. We achieved this together, and that is the most important highlight. Because is there any clearer receipt than being nominated for an award where the companies&#8217; employees get their say?</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="2">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and career company for the 8th consecutive year!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, we have been awarded Career Company for the eighth year in a row – something that very few companies have managed! This is how one of our employees, Robert Carpvik, described Consid in connection with the award:</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Right from the start of my journey at Consid, I have been positively influenced by the enthusiasm and commitment that exists within the company. There is a clear entrepreneurial and progressive spirit at Consid that encourages development. We have much fun together while constantly achieving new successes, which is one of the keys to the growth that Consid stands for.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="3">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We continued to grow and are now closer to 1700 Considare</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What is better than 1150, considare? Well, another 525 new considare! This means that we enter 2023 with close to 1,700 employees. In the troubled times currently prevailing in the economy, Consid goes against the grain and hires. We have continued to create jobs and expand during the current crisis and will continue on the same path. <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/career/">Join us on our journey!</a></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="4">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We established Consid in Denmark&#8230;</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During the autumn, we not only became more employees in Sweden but also in <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/office/copenhagen/">Denmark</a> when Consid stepped in to challenge the Danish IT market. There is something special about being on the road, on the way to where new opportunities await. To create value in a new context. The Danish expansion has started in Copenhagen, with several collaborations with customers and partners. Now the aim is to pass 30 employees in Denmark during 2023, which creates solutions for a better tomorrow.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="5">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and Germany…</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We steered our journey even further south, to <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/hamburg-we-are-here-now/">Germany</a>, with the first stop in Hamburg! Where order, structure, and economics work, we want to add something spectacular – the best employer anyone can imagine and the best digital competence available. Our first consultants are now employed. Thanks to a balance between customers in the public sector and prominent private players, demand for Consid&#8217;s services has increased steadily in recent years. It has been largely insensitive to economic conditions. Within five years, our goal is to be the largest in Northern Europe. Read more about our establishment in Germany!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="6">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> &#8230;and in 8 new cities in Sweden!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During the year, we have continued to expand also within Sweden. Skövde, Södertälje, Trollhättan, Trelleborg, Ängelholm, Karlskoga, Alingsås, and Borlänge now have Sweden&#8217;s best employers in town!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="7">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> Our establishment in Oslo took off</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Shortly after our expansion to <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/office/oslo/">Oslo</a>, we made a name for ourselves in the Norwegian market. Above all, we are winning a coveted contract with Norway&#8217;s most significant employer: Oslo Kommune. At Consid in Oslo, there is now competence in all IT services, which will play an essential role in the <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/news/consid-sign-coveted-contract-with-norways-largest-employer/">new agreement with Oslo Kommune</a>. Steffen Breen, CEO of Consid Norway, says:</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It feels fantastic that we have received this trust from Oslo Kommune, and it shows Consid&#8217;s enormous potential here in Norway. We won the assignments in all the categories we applied for and look forward to taking Oslo Kommune to new high levels&#8221;.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="8">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We took our sustainability work to the next level </strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through our efforts towards Ukraine immediately after the Russian invasion, we have shown that Consid&#8217;s sustainability work is so much more than climate and reports. Our commitment to sustainability is also purely practical efforts directly aimed at the Ukrainian population. But we have also stepped up our involvement within the UN Global Compact, with two new certified experts, and reported to the Science Based Targets Initiative. <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/about-us/sustainability/">Read more about how we are building the sustainable society of the future</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="9">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We strengthened our equality platform Q by Consid</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">At the same time, we have continued to break new ground for women in the tech industry through our equality platform Q by Consid. We have strengthened our equality platform with the initiatives Q Community, Q Meet, Q Mentoria &amp; eQualizer. For us, equality comes first. <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/about-us/equality/">Q by Consid</a> must work for an equal and equal tech industry &#8211; for real.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="10">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> Our employees&#8217; commitment to Ukraine</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided to do everything we could to help those affected by the inhumane situation. We offered developers from Ukraine to come and work with us in Sweden &#8211; this by providing the person and family with accommodation and help with other moving-related issues. Due to the worrying development of events in Ukraine, we also started an internal collection with our partner organization, War Child, in collaboration with SOS Children&#8217;s Villages. Our employees collected SEK 100,000, which Consid doubled to SEK 200,000 – a sum that went directly to psychosocial support for children in and from Ukraine. We also skipped the Easter eggs filled with goodies and instead donated diapers, food, and supplies to Ukrainian children and families in refugee camps through our partner organization War Child and their partner organization Novoe HopePacks. Unfortunately, the war has characterized this year and will follow us into 2023.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="11">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We focused on digitization in Almedalen&#8230;</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Because Almedalen is a tremendous democratic festival, in its absolute best sense, we at Consid arranged seven talks to focus on digitalization. But it was above all one of them that reached new heights: Ukrainian drone pilot and developer Oleksandr Radzikhovskyie. Hearing him talk about how drones are used both for espionage and as psychological warfare in Ukraine was fascinating.<a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/podd/live-fran-almedalen-dronarpilotens-berattelse/"> Listen to Oleksandr Radzikhovskyie</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="12">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and illuminated the parties&#8217; digitization agenda!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">One topic conspicuous by its total absence in the party leadership debates was digitization, even though we are at a historical stage where digital transformation is changing everything. There is an ambition that Sweden will be the best in the world in making use of the possibilities of digitization. But only some parties take digitization seriously. Even fewer seem to have digital leadership. We have tried to influence Swedish politics&#8217; focus on digitization for over ten years. But we always stay energized &#8211; before the parliamentary elections, we produced a well-read report on the parties&#8217; digitization policy.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="13">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> Folkhemmet 4.0 was released in bookstores</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The pandemic became the firm forward button that catapulted us into the digital future. Not only the outside world has changed. We are changed. When <a href="https://www.bokus.com/bok/9789152725931/folkhemmet-40-digitaliseringen-forandrar-allt/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-oqdBhDfARIsAO0TrGGakef1ZvGIpG1jCxPOd0Pdwh3VgHNhuXIqRwGYPAmgAftcfFRIdKUaAsJXEALw_wcB">Folkhemmet 4.0</a> – the book depicting the digital transformation – was released in bookstores, the pressure was enormous. Not so surprising as the book contains answers from Sweden&#8217;s leading actors in digitalization. Such as: Hélène Barnekow, Michael Björn, Alok Alström, Anna Felländer, Anna Wikland, Jan Gulliksen, Joel Hellermark and Helena Samsioe and others.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="14">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We met again in our offices (the pandemic let up)…</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During the year, the pandemic released its tight grip, and our offices have returned to what they were made for – meeting places where all types of meetings are welcome. Suppose it is customer meetings, workshops, after-work, or other festivities. For over 20 years, we have worked to create a place where our employees feel inspired, seen, filled with energy, and have space to drive our customers&#8217; digital transformation journeys. Do you pass by one of our over 40 offices? Take the opportunity to say hello – here we want everyone to feel at home and find new friends in our colleagues to create digital magic together. <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/about-us/our-offices/">Find your nearest Consid office</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="15">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and had the honor of inviting the future to us!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Our over 40 Consid offices were filled one day in November by curious children of various ages. It was time for &#8220;Bring Your Child to Work Day,&#8221; &#8211; one of our most appreciated activities at Consid. The idea of the day is to create understanding and balance in life and contribute with inspiration between family members. We accompany our children to preschool and school to see what they are doing, look at their latest school project and see what environment they move in. Shouldn&#8217;t it be just as evident that the children can come with us to see what we do during the day? During the day, the children were introduced to the fantastic programming world. A small code presentation that inspires the children about the world of programming started the day, to be replaced by simple coding in Scratch and HTML. In the afternoon, Minecraft was played on a shared Consid server. A day entirely to our taste!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="16">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We celebrated role models and success at our annual gala</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But we didn&#8217;t just get to meet again in our offices. In Stockholm&#8217;s most powerful venue, Stockholm City Hall, we gathered for the most festive party of the year &#8211; Considgala! This year, all expectations were met in content and attendance when we praised role models as usual as we grew in number &#8211; our reasons to celebrate produced more and more.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="17">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We organized Sweden&#8217;s first E-Sports Championship for companies&#8230;</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The year offered a significant e-sports focus at Consid. Through our collaboration with the Swedish E-Sports Association, we strengthen and develop e-sports in Sweden. Therefore, organizing history&#8217;s first Sweden Championship in e-sports for companies was extra fun. The victory was driven home by Region Kalmar. Are you eager to bring home the Championship title together with your colleagues? Keep your eyes open during the beginning of 2023! And we can already reveal that we have a lot of new things going on in the world of e-sports!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="18">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and the world&#8217;s biggest e-sports hackathon – for the 6th year in a row!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Can you code, do e-sports and contribute to a sustainable society simultaneously? Yes, at <a href="https://www.considition.com">Considition</a>, you can! And this year, with this year&#8217;s partner Axfoundation, the challenge was developing intelligent circular solutions for future e-commerce. After a thrilling final, a weekend in Prague awaits the winners, who will visit Europe&#8217;s largest conference on machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="19">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> Our trainee program Consid Next Level Academy, grew in step with our trainees…</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Our first batch of trainees left during the year. But exciting missions awaited. And no one is happier than us that we continue to have the honor of developing together with you. At the same time, the trainee program has been replenished with new stars. We now have three generations rolling in our blocks. In the spring of 2023, we will welcome a new generation of trainees!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
<ol start="20">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> …and became the most popular in Sweden!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The students had their say. In a survey conducted by career companies, Consid Next Level Academy was named Sweden&#8217;s second most attractive trainee program &#8211; according to the students. We call that a quality stamp.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="21">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> Consid achieves record results</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We have been on it several times. 2022 is a record year for Consid. <a href="https://considcms.wpengine.com/en/news/consid-publishes-record-breaking-figures/">During Q3, our turnover increased dramatically by 51.6 percent to SEK 454 million &#8211; in organic growth</a>. We are thus writing up our expected annual turnover of two billion SEK to SEK 2.150 billion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="22">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h3><strong> We continue to create digital magic!</strong></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We are experts in digital transformation, communication, and development. We help companies and organizations make visions a reality through sustainable digitization, from strategy to goal – from idea to reality. We have continued to do that in 2022 and will accelerate in 2023. Towards #nextlevel</p>
