dobedo analyses and sorts business conversation. There are many frameworks available today for businesses that require the presence of a consultant and then extensive analysis. The dobedo engine not only does away with the need of outside expertise but also measures how successful a group or organisation is in realtime. Swede has taken dobedo through extensive product development and testing. An initial product is due to launch early 2008.

Hyper Island - school of the future
Swede has been working with Hyper Island for several years. Now on the board of advisors, we're currently looking into the setup of new courses within the areas of Experience Design and Service design. Since the start in 1996, the methodology of Hyper Island has been a true success. Today, Hyper Island runs long term programs in Stockholm and Karlskrona in Sweden but they still dont employ any teachers, instead being commited to group learning from within the design industry itself.

what others say

"Usually my heart sinks at the thought of 'brainstorming', 'breakout groups' and 'innovation workshops', but the guys from Swede restored my faith in the creative development process. They have a refreshingly original approach, which makes working together both rewarding and fun. Most importantly though it is their sheer pace that sets them apart as an agency. When most people are stiil talking about an idea, they have already mocked up the prototype!"
Simon Walker - Group Strategy Director, Emap plc

"It is rarely that you get business sensibility out of a design organisation. Swede is one of the exceptions. From the get go, Swede stepped up to the plate to bring a design lead approach to launching our new company, but never once lost sight of the business imperatives and never gave us 'design for designs sake'. They are also fun to work with"
John Philpin - Founder and President, Beyond Bridges

"Once in a while you happen to meet people, who can work through very complex projects, knowing how to navigate through constantly changing requirements, and still managing to deliver something beyond expectations given a too short amount of time to do so. That they are also great to not only work with, but can also have a chat about basically anything, is not half bad either"
John Kellden - Founder, DoBeDo

"A strengthened value proposition is now wholly integrated into our company's foundation and has placed us in a far more advantageous position to receive equity funding and stakeholder support. This was due mainly to the Swede's clarity of thought, strategic direction, ability to think outside of the box and finally their great experience within an ever-proliferating media landscape"
Arjun Chatterji - MD, Playmetv
