Company offerings and what they do
When I’m thinking about the statement ”It is not so much about what offerings you have but instead about what your offerings do” I find it interesting what a strong brand can do with a consumer offering.

Admiritus i Sydsvenskan
När Sydsvenskan besökte Sony Next Career Center för att göra ett reportage om telekombranschen i Skåne så fick jag tillfället att berätta om mig själv, Admiritus och de karriärval jag gjort. En länk till Sydsvenskans artikel finns här. Att kombinera interimschef med ett eget företagande kändes från början som en spännande kombination. Nu känns den…
