About Gugin
We are specialised in helping companies succeed across cultures, by reconciling the differences and turn them into sources of Syngergy. Our clients are companies who are moving into new areas, companies who are going through a merger or acquisition or companies who need to become better at utilising the cultural diversity within their own organisation.
Background
Gugin was established in 2001 by Finn Majlergaard with the purpose to create an international business consulting firm, which could help companies succeed in a globalised world. Gugin has its headquarter in Copenhagen, Denmark, but works on projects all over the world.
In a world with rapid change you constantly need to change your processes and operating models in order to stay competitive and being able to pursue the opportunities that arise. Therefore we found it crucial to invest a lot of resources in development of tools and frameworks for companies facing these challenges of globalisation, commoditisation and global alliances.
We have 3 main areas of activities; research, training and consulting. They fuel each other, and this way we continously deliver solutions based on experience and innovation.
In 2011 we spent more than 3500 hours on research.
