Strategic outlook – ONE in 22
Our success in 2017 is an important stepping stone towards our new strategy and vision of becoming ONE in 22. ONE in 22 captures three dimensions: Our ability to work seamlessly across our organisation as One Firm, working shoulder to shoulder with our clients and setting the right teams with diverse capabilities, aiming to be the leader in selected market areas and to reach a revenue of DKK 1 billion no later than in 2022.
It is an ambitious and realistic goal and one that we are confident we can reach. Our journey so far is a testament to our ability to execute our strategy successfully.
