Operational consultants in business improvement, growth and implementations.

Svartsögruppen

Why we exist

Svartsögruppen was founded because there was a lack of consultants with genuine operational experience. Not people who had read about turnarounds — but people who had executed them. Not project managers who plan — but project managers who deliver.

Dan and Magnus have both served as CEOs, won complex multi-billion tenders and turned organisations from loss to profit. That is the experience we bring to every assignment.

Svartsögruppen is an ambitious firm with a long combined track record from operations and consulting — using an analysis-driven approach and strong execution capacity to deliver results that last.

What we stand for

Get things doneDecisions and action over analysis and theory. We step in, find the way forward and go.

Exceed expectationsRight quality, every time. The client first — not the report, not the process.

Never give upWe find the solution when others get stuck. We stay until it's done, no matter how hard it gets.

Lead by exampleProfessional and human. Towards clients, colleagues and everyone we meet.
