Äventyret expands its offering: Launches consultancy Uppdraget

The award-winning product and service design agency Äventyret is launching Uppdraget, a new consultancy business providing individual experts in technology, design and change leadership. (Stockholm, 4 November 2024)

The move is a direct response to the demand that has built up over the years, where clients have often asked for access to Äventyret's specialist expertise to strengthen their own operations. Uppdraget, led by David Wallin, a consultancy manager with a long track record in the industry, has already proven its model with a number of clients and consultants on board from day one.

David Wallin, CEO of Uppdraget, sees a natural connection between the two businesses. "With Uppdraget we can offer clients a flexible solution that complements Äventyret's holistic perspective. Many consultancies want to offer end-to-end solutions but often lack what it takes to succeed all the way. Together, Äventyret and Uppdraget have everything needed to deliver the best of both worlds."

Äventyret's CEO Joel Bergqvist also sees advantages in separating the consultancy business from the traditional agency business. "For over ten years, Äventyret has received requests to provide individual consultants. But we see that agencies that do that end up with a fragmented culture, and that quality can suffer. Through Uppdraget we can meet the client need without compromising the culture and team focus we have built up."

Äventyret, with offices in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Örebro and Mariehamn, has over the past decade helped millions of people through products and services developed together with clients in both the public and the private sector. Through Uppdraget the agency can now also offer individual consultants in web and systems development, app development, project management, UX and UI design, data science and engineering, test and QA, as well as interim solutions in senior technical roles.

New opportunities in the wake of the downturn

The economic downturn of recent years has created new opportunities for specialised consultancy services, something David Wallin sees as an important factor behind the timing of Uppdraget's launch. "When companies and public agencies look ahead, the need for fast, flexible expertise is peaking. Uppdraget is ready to meet that demand, and we can already see that our model creates value both for clients and consultants."
