Martin Tugwell, Chief Executive of Transport for the North , emphasises the need for a just transition, and highlights how Zemo’s Delivery Roadmap will have a key role to play.

Our CEO, Anders Jensen, recently gave an insightful interview for Motor-magasinet while visiting Denmark. Since acquiring Dansk Bilglas A/S in 2022, one of the country's leaders in vehicle glass repair and replacement, we've been actively expanding our operations in collision repair. Anders discussed the strong potential of the Danish collision repair market and Cary Group’s strategy for expansion. With promising opportunities in Denmark, Cary Group is eyeing further acquisitions beyond Crashpoint A/S and Elkjærgruppen. Anders emphasized the group's commitment to growth and developing an efficient business across the region. This reflects Cary Group’s ongoing pursuit of strengthening its presence in Denmark. With proven success in markets like Norway, Anders Jensen highlighted the value of SMART-repair technology: "Using SMART-repair, we’re handling both small and medium-sized damages more efficiently than before. We’re eager to bring this innovation to Denmark, as it’s been a huge success in Norway. We’re currently testing it in Sweden, with plans for Denmark next."

It is rare and challenging for businesses to last beyond the first generation of ownership and leadership, and rarer still for them to last into the third generation and beyond. There are many reasons for this, but a common one is that a company, once it has created its breakout, successful product, will cease to innovate and change. When vigilance on this front diminishes, it is nearly impossible for a company to remain competitive and survive. When Robert Pasin started work for the very successful company his grandfather had founded, Radio Flyer, he was surprised to discover that his family’s company had fallen prey to just this. Innovation was minimal and as a result, the company was in danger of a decline. He undertook to rebuild a culture of innovation and discipline, and was remarkably successful; Radio Flyer was recently named to the top ten Fast Company list of Most Innovative Companies for 2023. Watch Robert’s Tugboat Institute® talk and learn what strategies he employed to turn their biggest weakness into their greatest strength. #FUNomenal #radioflyer #innovation #pragmaticinnovation #TugboatInstitute #EvergreenCEO #EvergreenJournal

TRANSFORMING DIGITAL VISION INTO PROJECT PRECISION IS OUR CORE "We aim to transform the digital vision of construction, creating projects with greater precision in everything from initial agreements to planning and execution, making construction processes leaner and more sustainable." These words came from our CEO Jens Fobian-Larsen when he recently spoke to Licitationen about our growth plans. As a company, we are a combination of a consultancy, engineering and technology company, and we combine three areas of expertise: strategy & management, technology and construction. This is the main reason why we are often chosen to partner on large, complex building and infrastructure projects that require specialist skills to ensure progress and efficiency in design and execution.  Read more in the article in Danish, also about Rolf Carlsen's focus on business development and internationalisation as CEO of CN3 Group (article requires subscription) https://lnkd.in/d2jmspf8 #dkbiz #CN3 #digitalconstruction #innovation #engineering #VDC #AI 

I was recently interviewed by National Public Radio (NPR) on the potential purchase and reintegration of Spirit AeroSystems by Boeing Companies. Having run a much smaller company that had a decent amount of experience in acquisitions, mergers and divestitures, I can tell you they are complicated endeavors and it takes an intense amount of work and focus. At this scale (with Boeing and Spirit) it is exponentially more complicated and demanding. I question if this is the best use of time, attention and resources for these two companies at this time... Putting two damaged and dysfunctional entities together does not (magically) make them better and / or fix their problems. It seems it might be somewhat of a diversionary tactic (on Boeings part) and that both companies might be better off getting (insanely) focused on their operational, manufacturing and quality issues. Public safety and peoples lives are at stake. https://lnkd.in/gNU-xReF
