Freedom – a fantastic driving force
A Society operates in a free and dynamic consulting market, helping individuals follow their passion. Guided by our vision of “A Society Powered by Freedom”, we work to ensure that every consultant in our network achieves success on their terms, regardless of whether they’re their own boss, an employee at a consulting company, or part of a partner company.

Innovative employees continue to build a new generation of consulting companies
We have achieved our strong results by working with our four strategies: sales culture, specialisation, entrepreneurship and the best employees. We celebrate our successes, organise competitions, and spotlight new business and agreements. We support each other through various forums for business development and knowledge sharing.
Our values, “Passion & Execution”, pave the way for a decentralised leadership structure in which our employees feel comfortable making their own decisions and leading themselves within the given framework. This means that we can proactively solve problems and offer specialised, premium solutions to both our consultants and our customers.
Entrepreneurship permeates our entire business and the people who comprise it. This year, we saw several examples in which ideas and creative solutions put forward by employees became a reality. Among other things, these included the establishment of a new office in Örebro, the start-up of a search centre in Jönköping, new niche service offerings, and an improved structure for our work with public sector procurements. None of these initiatives would be possible without the innovation and drive of our employees.
The year in brief
Although 2022 has been marred by a terrible war not far from Sweden’s borders that has truly cut us to our core, we remain optimistic about the future. The technology industry in which we operate plays a crucial role in how we grapple with an increasingly complex reality. It is becoming more important to find common solutions that transcend international borders; expertise from all over the world needs to be used and heard. By enabling more individuals to follow their passion and realise their dreams, together we can create a positive change that has major societal impact.
Over the course of the year, we have helped more than 1,400 consultants get assignments. We also welcomed about 40 new customers, giving them access to the leading technology experts in the market, and increased our sales by 15% and our earnings (EBIT) by 50%. These are exceptionally good numbers of which we are really quite proud.
This year has been very good to us, but we have no intention to rest on our laurels. We will continue to build the next generation of consulting companies founded on passionate and energetic people. This is reflected by our recruitment and positioning strategy with regard to the tech and premium markets and in our great MMI of 4.4, as well as by 2022’s strong results.
