Our Focus
Technology
Is technology an asset or liability for your organization?
In today’s fastmoving world there is one force that has gained unprecedented power – technology. At the same time we can say that technology has lost some of its differentiating power as everyone can now create, build and run businesses supported by technology without deep technology skills.
Nevertheless, technology is at the center of almost all decisions done in companies of our time and thus has a strategic role rather than operational. It belongs to executive discussions and boardrooms.
The promise of technology puts a lot of pressure on companies and leaders to get a grip of the new, understand the opportunities and rebuild the companies to fit the new surroundings. But technology is a driver, a force and an asset – we need to look at the world and companies through this lense, assessing the opportunities and threats to our business. Strategy and structure deserve a new round and fresh thinking.
For us at Grip technology is the driver changing societies and companies. We assess the direction and force and are alert for new opportunities in all spaces. We analyse cooperations and acquisitions to understand the underlying assets. Be it AI or data strategy or a total revamp of the future roadmaps we are your trusted partner and happy to work with you, your board or executive team to get a new grip on what is out there.
We help you

Technology is strategic. We help you treat it that way.
Strategy
What are the strategic questions in 2026? And until 2035?
It is our strong belief that a company needs a direction. Setting a level of ambition to a time frame triggers thinking and action. It gives your team or organisation inspiration and freedom to perform. Today people want to understand why and where, not just what and how.
Having a vision gives you direction, but having a strategy gives you an outline of getting there. In today’s world many questions that used to be operational have become strategic, like technology choices. As a broad outline we think that any questions around how to win the market are strategic.
In addition to target setting, market decisions, positioning, customer, product and service area choices and investments – leaders today need to address geopolitics, sustainability, technology, innovation, value networks and organisational, cultural and structural considerations as part of strategy. For this, you need a thorough and shared understanding of trends and disruptions – and the opportunities and risks they bring along.
Having been working with modern strategy questions in the frontlines of digital and leadership for 3 decades, we think we can help you out. We don’t care if your starting point is a challenge, a strategic question or holistic strategy for the next strategy period – we are here to find answers together.
We support you in
- facilitating executive- and board-level strategy dialogue
- clarifying ambition and long-term direction amid uncertainty
- making market, portfolio and capability decisions
- shaping growth and renewal strategies
- identifying and evaluating strategic alternatives
A good way to start is to ask yourself, what are the most critical strategic questions for us.
Leadership
Do you have all leadership capabilities and management systems to effective execution?
As a leader you have to love both planning and executing. You have to live on many levels all the time, short-term, mid-term and long term. Sometimes only focus on big picture, but to be ready and eager to deep dive when necessary. Always with the same passion and energy. If you don’t have a support structure this will soon wear you out.
Thus having an efficient management system designed for you and your company is like a life insurance. It gives clarity and efficiency. It combines the right people with the right direction and gives them authority and mandate to perform. It also gives them the right renumeration for their hard work.
Our organisations are often still siloed and functional as they have been from the 1960es. The agile revolution has tired to break the barriers and change ways of working but it is not an answer that fits all organisations. Thus it is a crucial decision hpw to update the organisation and how to design it to fit the next decade. Nobody wants constant updates, but everyone needs flexibility.
Coming from both leadership roles and academia we have the right combination of pragmatic and theoretical experecience to look at organisations and their performance today. We love to work with both seasoned leaders and upcoming z-generation – everyone deserves a well funtioning workplace.
We help you design
- coherent and strategy-aligned management systems
- organisational structures that enable both flexibility and accountabilit
- effective decision-making models
An effective management system enables organisations to perform under pressure – and sustain performance over time.
