At Prohoc we have started the new year on a new path. We believe that the world of projects is getting even more COMPLEX, FAST-PACED and TURBULENT.

In parallel to this we also see a change in the dynamics of work and how the younger generations are breaking the pattern of traditional engineering careers. These bring challenges to our customers, and we aim to be the number one PROJECT PARTNER to rely on.

EMPOWERING PROJECTS is the definition of what we do. We have defined four cornerstones that we need to have in place to be successful with our new strategy.

  • EMPOWERED PEOPLE
  • STRATEGIC CUSTOMERS
  • PROJECT PARTNER SERVICES
  • PRACTICAL TOOLS AND PROCESSES

During this year we are focusing on improving our doing in all these four key elements. We’ll be sharing more insight to these in our following blog entries.

Our new PEOPLE-CENTRIC STRATEGY brings also new responsibilities within our management team. Following roles and responsibilities are effective since 1 January 2018.
