We are in the business of Change

As promised a while ago, we thought it would be useful to share the more long term thinking and work that goes into running and developing a design consultancy. In this series myself and other founding partners will be reflecting the past two and a half years, things we’ve learned and also about the future we all are quite excited about. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

At the moment of writing, we’ve been working on Nordkapp for exactly 950 days now, plus a few months of planning and preparations. Roughly a thousand days. Something that I am quite proud of is that apart from the daily craft of design, we’ve seen one massive economic downturn and still managed to actually keep on sustainable growth since the day one. Not bad from a bunch of designers still learning how to run a business.

Which leads me to this—If I were to pick one thing we’ve learned during the first thousand days, it is that the only constant is, and will be Change. Things will change, and they will change faster than you’d think. The peculiar aspect of this change is, that it’s quite hard to resist— when the industries, and the world around you is in flux, you have two options—either adapt and evolve, or get left behind. This is something that seems to happen on all scales as well, from micro to macro.
