Today we meet and ask five questions to Claes who founded Anchor Management Consulting 17 years ago.
I was an early participant in the start-up of Acando in 1999, as employee number 22. When my daughter Clara was born in the fall of 2006, I felt that I had reached the end of the road at the company. Therefore, I resigned without a plan and decided after a few months to start a partner-owned consulting company. This gave me the opportunity to create a structure that benefited both employees and clients.
My colleagues! I find it very stimulating to surround myself with driven and competent people who constantly challenge themselves in complex projects. We work on several projects in parallel and continuously develop. We also do fun activities together to strengthen company spirit and camaraderie. Most of the time, we carry out our assignments in teams and we do not respond to CV requests. We focus on delivering results and helping management teams succeed, every time.
My dream project is to get in early in the customer's problem formulation. Often the customer formulates the problems based on symptoms and does not see the root causes. The most rewarding projects are with customers with major profitability problems or who have previously failed with major changes. Seeing them gradually find solutions is very stimulating for both us and the client's employees.
I am proud that, 17 years after the start, I am still developing my knowledge and have many qualified people around me. I have also managed to balance the role of consultant with business management. Unlike larger consultancies, we can market all our projects.
Summer is my favorite. All seasons have their charm, but summer is bright and usually warm. Enjoying a coffee in the shade of a tree on Capri or under a parasol on the terrace in Torekov with a sea view is very pleasant.
