REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS & COURSE PARTICIPANTS

TO ALL COMPANIES THAT NEED TO DEVELOP THEIR BUSINESS FROM AN ORGANISATIONAL,

PRODUCT, OR MARKET PERSPECTIVE

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

"I have been working with BACKSTROM iMPACT and Christel Bäckström since 2018. I highly recommend her to any company that needs to develop its business from an organisational, product, or market perspective. Christel is an incredibly efficient and intelligent business developer. She has the ability to see both the big picture and the details, and she can translate that into the right processes and activities. With her courage to take calculated risks, combined with her analytical skills and knowledge of strategic development, as well as her experience in establishing new collaborations, she has been a strong support for me as a CEO and for the entire management team. Thank you, Christel!"

COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS AND WORK ENVIRONMENT

COURSE

"A major benefit of Developmental employee-ship (UM) is that everyone, both leaders and employees, has gained knowledge of both the leadership model and the UM model. This has provided us with a shared and clear language, increasing everyone’s motivation and potential to take collective responsibility for the results we aim to achieve and for our shared work environment. The alignment between managers and employees has had a very positive impact on how we approach our work, interact with one another, and view the organisation as a whole."
