- Hi, nice to be here! I have almost 30 years of experience in the IT industry, but I am actually an economist at heart. I started my career in accounting, but quickly realized that information technology is more exciting and forward-looking. Because I am curious and also needed to balance my career with some children, I have since had many different roles including system development, project management, consultant, IT manager, HR manager, sales and business management. My most recent role was as Regional Manager at Sogeti, where I was responsible for the Scanian operations consisting of about 110 people.
- The starting point is always the customer's needs," says Stina. "The first thing I do is to get a picture of the business by listening to the employees. I also take the opportunity to listen to what they want, can do and what drives them. This is very useful to have at a later stage when it's time to make improvements. After this, I often see what needs to be done to get a lasting result, but it is not always easy to explain to the customer that you need to change something in a seemingly decent part of the business to remove a pain in another part. Once the plan is ready and the management team is checked in on it, it's just a matter of rolling up your sleeves and getting started. I work at all levels, from the receptionist to the board, and often make several parallel changes at the same time. It can be small things that make a big difference, to major system changes.
- The common challenge they now face is to seize the digital opportunities. Before someone else does and perhaps finds a smart solution for your most profitable segment. Some industries have come further than others, such as media, financial services and consumer retail, while there is so much more to be done in industry and healthcare, for example. There are far too many companies and organizations that still see IT as a cost and not an enabler. This can be devastating in the long run, I believe.
- "I've always had an inherent drive to make things better," says Stina. "So far, it hasn't led to me grabbing any opportunities myself and developing that business idea. So far, I've gotten that opportunity in some dose at most jobs I've had and had enough fun with it. Making a difference is nourishment for me. However, I greatly admire all entrepreneurs who actually make something of their ideas.
- Communication and working methods Digitalization has made the world smaller and smaller, changes in the world are happening faster and faster, and the increased transparency places high demands on the ability to adapt. It is high time to start working based on agile principles, not only in the world of system development, but throughout the organization. This includes, for example, responsiveness to customers, responsibility and mandate far out in the organization, transparency in communication not only internally but with everyone in your ecosystem, including customers. This is of course a big change for the traditional managers, CFOs and buyers who want nailed down budgets and specifications. One reflection I have made recently is that SAS-Janne's "Tear down the pyramids" is more relevant than ever! Maybe I should read it again. It was a while ago...
- Of course, I would make sure that everyone in my family comes out. My photos and movies are also dear to me, but since I live as I learn and use cloud services, they will probably stay too. If I have the time and opportunity, I will probably also bring some of the paintings that my husband likes. Most other things can be recreated. Stina Berggren will work on strengthening our offering in business development and change management. She will also have a special focus on Skåne and the Öresund region. We at Anchor are very happy that we have managed to attract a star like Stina. She will make us all better!
