STRATEGIC 9 - Sets You Apart

"Just a small ooopsie..." — but what happens when that "ooopsie" affects millions? At our annual Qday with the entire QGroup, knowledge sharing takes center stage. This year, we embraced a TED Talk-inspired format, and one of the highlights was our Jakob Carlsson's talk: "CrowdStrike – The small ooopsie." Jakob took us on an eye-opening journey about how a small misstep in processes at a major vendor can ripple through entire industries, impacting organizations and people’s daily lives. It was truly an inspiring session that challenged us to reflect on the importance of mindset: ➡️ How do we respond to unforeseen mistakes? ➡️ What can we learn to prevent similar situations? As we now wrap up this year and head into the holidays, Jakob’s talk is a great reminder to take a step back, reflect, and learn from both successes and challenges. A huge thank you to Jakob for sharing these valuable insights! In a world where many companies rely on the same solutions, the details really do matter. Wishing everyone a reflective and restful holiday season! What are your biggest takeaways from this year? #knowledgesharing #tedtalk #techconference #CrowdStrike

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: We only work with the best of the best. This weekend, we celebrated our amazing colleagues at our annual Christmas party in ROME! A huge shoutout to our party general Mikael Kretz – you’ve truly raised the bar once more. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, you proved us wrong! And a big congratulations to Adrian Landborn for finally taking home the QGroup Business Award after being nominated year after year. Your strategic thinking and outstanding dedication inspire us all 🌟 As the year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect and celebrate everything we’ve achieved together ⚡

Best of the best! Strategic 9 sponsrade Sofie Rosencrantz vinner VM i landsvägscykling 🚴♀️🏆 Precis som med våra konsulter är hon handplockad för att hon är den bästa av dem bästa. Hennes resa mot framgång är en inspirerande påminnelse om vad som krävs för att lyckas inom både idrott och IT-konsultvärlden. Vi ser likheterna med vårt arbete: - Planering: Att ta sig an utmanande lopp, liksom komplexa IT-projekt, kräver tydliga mål och en genomtänkt plan. - Anpassningsförmåga: I cykling är förutsättningarna ofta oförutsägbara, precis som i teknikutveckling. Framgång kräver flexibilitet och rätt beslut vid rätt tidpunkt. - Innovation och uthållighet: Kontinuerlig innovation är en av nycklarna till att både våra projekt och Sofie når nya höjder. På Strategic 9 lever vi efter devisen att strategi och passion är grunden för framgång. Våra kollegor ser den tydliga likheten mellan sadeln och skrivbordet – det handlar om fokus, uthållighet och att aldrig ge upp. Ett stort grattis till Sofie för din otroliga prestation! Du är en sann inspiration! 🎉

The stars aligned and we come across the outstanding talent Nina. She’s a true rockstar with a rare blend of engineering expertise, leadership skills and the artistry of a dancer. We’re thrilled to have her on the team!

Jakob Carlsson took the stage at Foo Café and walked the community of 2600 through the global impact of Crowdstrike, which affected 8.5 million Windows devices worldwide. His deep interest of the topic and ability to break down complex challenges into actionable insights left the audience inspired and sparked some great discussions. Thank you, Jakob, for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You continue to inspire us all! How can we better handle big IT incidents in the future? 🧐   📸: Benjamin Björk 📍Goto 10 powered by Internetstiftelsen #Cybersecurity #Crowdstrike #TechInsights #FooCafé #2600meetup
