How Øystein is building a better working world
"I have a fundamental belief that you must be relevant to your customers. Of course, the professional advice we provide is important, but it must be placed in a context that is relevant to the individual client. We must provide more than answers to questions posed, and our collaboration must create added value. We must work closely with those who come to us, listen more than we talk and work together to produce viable solutions".
