The consultants

Swedegroup AB has adopted modern organisation principles by using the project form for the corporation in itself. Several self owned smaller firms have gone together as part owners of the joint company Swedegroup. Together with a few  other specialists, these form the "core group" of  Swedegroup. The Klippan Office core group is presented below.

For every new assignment a team is picked together. Depending on the tasks specified in the terms of reference this team is recruited not only from the core group. Some hundreds of external consultants are also available in an external network, which Swedegroup works together with. In the ideal situation Swedegroup as team leader recruits high qualified specialists from Europe or USA, to work together with a small group of well repudiated local consultants. The world wide experiences of Swedegroup has been a comparative advantage for Swedegroup when recruiting domestic competence.
