This is what some clients have said about our collaboration:

Steinar Valade-Amland has been in charge of the process of developing a new growth strategy for Triagonal and he has driven the process with a clear focus, enthusiasm and knowledge, and his background in the design industry has been indispensable in the entire process. Through workshops facilitated by Steinar we have managed to find Triagonals DNA and with that in mind developed a strategy for future growth and external communication in general.
 

Steinar has transformed the strategy into an operational plan with specific and manageable objectives. Over all, we have benefited greatly from working with Steinar in all phases of the process - from facilitating workshops to strategic planning.

Thorough and encompassing, the resulting report, consisting of a thorough analysis based on desk­top research and utilization of Steinar's wide-reaching network within the business, as well as a focus group conducted to analyse and assess the potential for market entry from a competitive point of view, gave an insightful review of opportunities and potential pitfalls in the Danish market. All in all, we were very pleased with the report Steinar produced, and will likely use him again for similar engagements.

At design-people we have benefited greatly from the strategic sparring with Steinar Valade-Amland. We have received qualified sparring around positioning as a design agency, which services to prioritize and how to communicate these. Thus, his consultancy has contributed directly to the positive development design-people is experiencing.

Steinar's contribution to our effort to promote Greek Design has proven more than valuable. His inspiration, experience and expertise has helped us make many important steps in the field of design  - both as an organization, but also as a country. We still receive positive feedback after both our exhibition in 2013 and after the series of seminars in 2016. We hope that we can continue our joint efforts to develop and promote design in Greece, as we trust that we always achieve our goals when working together with Steinar - for one basic reason; he knows every important aspect of design, he truly believes in it and he really loves it…
Eri Manousou, Head of Communication, Hellenic Industrial Property Organisation

I have worked with Steinar on different projects for BEDA since 2012. In that experience I  have benefitted more than once from Steinar's lengthy and qualitative experience in the European Design community and his ability to reach out to a vast and rich network that includes influential policy makers, lobbyists and trade associations in relation to creative industry and design practitioners. Steinar's deliveries are of consistently high quality and relevance, whether in the form of surveys and follow-up reports, facilitating workshops or developing policy papers and strategy recommendations. Therefore I warmly recommend working with Steinar in any project related to the European Creative Industries.
