Assisting clients to achieve long-term growth

CONVICTIONS

Strategy consulting is a high growth segment of the consulting industry.

The corporations best fit for long term profitable growth are those which get on top of the business cycle and understand their industry’s long-term dynamics better than their competitors.

In order to bring value to clients, it has to rely upon two intertwined capabilities.

The ability to use strong and creative analytical approaches and the ability to integrate priorities and solutions for action from a senior management perspective.

It requires a total specialization with specific talents, approach and expertise.

lycka consulting specializes in strategy consulting and does not offer any other services in order to avoid dilution of competence. This focused approach ensures deep expertise.

CAREERS

Choosing a job is never simple

At first, it appears to be about the industry, the company, the immediate role, and the medium-term opportunities, along with the financial package. However, I believe it’s ultimately about how you apply your talents—whether you’ll have the chance to make a meaningful impact on important matters and who you’ll engage with daily, both inside and outside the organization.
