Services

Our clients are large complex organizations as well as start-ups from different industries around the globe. Being a global oriented company we enable our people to grow as we continue to grow our base of clients. We form enduring client relationships: more than 80 percent of our work is with clients whom we’ve served before. We tailor our approach to the needs of each client. Every project we undertake is as unique as each client we serve.

We work with clients, public and private organizations, so that they:

  • Focus their thinking on the future

  • Recruit the best candidates for the job

  • Understand their talent and milestones

  • Develop strategies for success – execution

  • Implement those strategies

However, they do have one thing in common; a willingness to change and to develop insights into how to create an organization that can easily handle – and benefit from – change and development.

Why Starcommand?

Because we make a difference. Management and advisors are well-established businessmen. These people can not only give advice, they also have hands-on experienece from running organizations. We will not leave you with a “top-notch” report to show for the Board of Directors. At the end of the day execution will outsmart any plan and Starcommand will provide the tool. That’s how Starcommand was created.

Recruiting and Enduring Values

Starcommand is hiring experienced consultants and researchers. At the moment, we hire in both Sweden and Spain.

Starcommand’s Enduring Values:

“Dedication to people development is essential to maintain you come here, we make the implicit promise that we’re going to provide you with developmental opportunities you cannot equal anywhere else.”

In our minds, organizations are open systems, therefore they are influenced by many factors, out of which only a few are possible to affect directly. However, the one factor that an organization can affect, and which may actually be the ultimate performance affecting factor, is its people. Thus, organizations today are increasingly talking about and looking for “star people”, typically those who possess multi-dimensional skills, several expertise areas and impressive social skills and strive to work in teams. Naturally, it’s a tempting thought to create an organization consisting of star people only, and we believe that everyone can. Not via recruiting them, but because everyone can be their own star-in-command. Provided with the right tasks and knowledge, a good social environment, the ability to lead a balanced life and the ability to tear down the walls in one’s mind, everyone can affect company performance in a positive way, and potentially become a star. These stars may not all look the same, but nor do those in the Milky Way…

We are Stars in a Joyful, Creative, Learning Organization that via the Systemic Approach Open up our client’s Mind to a more Successful Future. It’s because of this belief that we aim our forces in two directions, at the organization as such since that sets the conditions for developing star people. But, also at the people who are to perform in the organization, in order to help them free their potential and enable the creation of unlimited minds.

Self-governing, one-firm partnership

“This is about how we manage ourselves and what kind of organization we want to be. This is not a firm of leaders and followers; it’s a firm of leaders who want to have the freedom to do what they think is right for the institution. From your very first day with us, you’re not only expected to do your assigned task, you’re expected to step forward and do something about the issues and opportunities you care about. The only way we can keep such a large collection of outstanding leaders is through self-governance – so that people feel that they can control their own destiny and that they can make a difference in this place. “One firm” simply means that we’re all in this together and that all our incentives, evaluation processes, and the like apply firmwide.
