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 [...]

(See my earlier posts for introduction to the series.)
How should the teams for design be built? There are thousands of handbooks how to build effective teams, so let’s not get into the generics. There’s one specific aspect of design teamwork that I would like to emphasize, and that is the collaboration of interaction design and [...]
Week 9/2010
Short weeknote this time around.
I’m back from the holidays to a fast week. We are learning new right and wrong challenging ways of doing things from various requirements our projects are bringing us. An example of a challenge is to organize management structure so that decision making takes 3 days and the work must be [...]
Week 8/2010
On this weeknote; a guest editor, and a few happy events.

We came up with a easy point based workload estimation concept which we will hopefully build into an actual web service soon. [...]

“Weeknotes are updates about what your business has been doing over the past seven days or so. They’re about reflecting on your work, your achievements, and what’s on deck.”
In order to fulfill our promise of transparency, we here at Nordkapp are participating in the idea of Weeknotes. This thing was most likely started by Schulze [...]
The Hunger to change the world
There’s a saying that people come to our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. It’s my time to move on. I have been fortunate to have the amazing people at Nordkapp in my life for last year and four months. It’s mind boggling to think how far we have come with the company.
