kaastrup|andersen - in short
Our starting point
It is a fact that a lot of change projects never reaches their goals or only partly shows the planned results. One of the primary reasons is that the changes are executed and implemented too slowly.
When time passes in a project, the number of factors in the surroundings that affects the project also increases. It heightens the risk that the projects are diluted and the efforts and investments that have been made, creates poor or no value for the company.
To us, managing projects is all about creating progress, but that is easier said than done. If we take a closer look, there are both a high degree of complexity and a lot of dependencies. Most often it is the stakeholders and the cooperation between them that influence whether the project manager is able to create successful progress. This makes the personal competences crucial, as well as awareness and training of the personal competences. Without the right passion and with deficient training, the possibility of creating progress will be negligible.
Our story
kaastrup|andersen is a good example of classical entrepreneurship, starting in the living room on the second floor in the Danish town Struer in 2001. The company started out in Struer as the two entrepreneurs were former employees of Bang & Olufsen.
It quickly becam apparent that further development of the company required a more central location in Jylland, and Silkeborg became the choice. Silkeborg is perfectly located in relation to the customers that we work with. At the same time, the city is close to several educational institutions that we also involve ourselves in and work with.
Projects have always been at the core of our work and in 2007 we sharpened our focus on project management. Until now, kaastrup|andersen has grown, achieving 8 Gazelle awards, the latest in 2017. This fine development has created a strong culture revolving around management of projects.
