SoCentral utvikler likeverdige partnerskap med kommuner, næringsliv og innbyggere som vil utvikle et mer bærekraftig samfunn. Vi ble startet av tre gründere i 2012, og er et ideelt aksjeselskap hvor alt av overskudd brukes til videreutvikling. I dag er vi en liten bedrift med 8 heltidsansatte og 2 deltidsansatte, men med et stort miljø og nettverk rundt oss. Vi driver en inkubator med over 200 medlemmer på Sentralen i Oslo, og utvikler og leder prosjekter og samarbeid for å nå bærekraftsmålene. Eksempler på hvordan vi jobber finner du f. eks på www.paadriv.no eller www.inkluderingsdagene.no. Hvordan jobber vi? Store samfunnsutfordringer krever at vi jobber på nye måter. Hos SoCentral forventer vi mye av oss selv og hverandre, og er opptatt av å ha tid til alt livet har å tilby. Som vår kollega i SoCentral vil du ha stor frihet til å løse dine ansvarsområder på den måten som passer deg best. Samtidig forventer vi at du tar ansvar og innbyr til tillit. Det er ikke et strengt hierarki eller avdelinger i SoCentral, men vi har alle tydelige ansvarsområder. Du vil derfor måtte forholde deg til mange “ledere”. SoCentral eksperimenterer med løsninger på viktige samfunnsutfordringer. Det er derfor uunngåelig at vi ikke alltid får til det vi ønsker. Det er ok. Det er faktisk helt nødvendig. For vi vet at vi lærer vel så mye av det som vi ikke får til, så lenge vi greier å dele åpent og spørre om hjelp når vi trenger det. Hos oss må du derfor være åpen for og villig til å dele halvferdige tanker og idéer fortløpende. SoCentral er kunnskapsdrevet og vi er avhengig av at ny kunnskap deles både internt og eksternt.

The Missing Maps project maps the most vulnerable places in the developing world.  Building on the excellent work done by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and others in mapping as emergency response, the Missing Maps Project aims to map the places in the world where the most vulnerable people live in a proactive way. Instead of responding to a natural disaster, conflict or epidemic, regions vulnerable to crises are identified and mapped in anticipation of crises, meaning that when one occurs, local people, NGOs and other responders can start using the maps and the data from the word go, saving valuable time, and potentially, lives.The Missing Maps Project is an open collaboration founded by the American Red Cross, the British Red Cross, Humanitarian OSM Team (HOT) and Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

Today, Dogu has a team of 19 brave nerds working from 5 offices to build and operate amazing products: SalesScreen and LiveScreen.The name Dogu is an acronym for Data og Utvikling which in Norwegian means Data and Development. We would have trademarked it, but Dogu happens to also be a Japanese mythical figurine dating back to over 10 000 years ago.So, what sets us apart and what makes us special?Aside from our finesse at the most important of startup sports, such as foosball, pingpong and beer pong, we do a LOT of activities together. We have a monthly budget for team building, which can be used for anything from Friday lunches at a restaurant to GoKarts and Lazer Tag to buying a new BBQ grill or Playstation 4 to play. But it’s not the STUFF that’s important, it’s the PEOPLE. Every day, we talk about the importance of building great culture. We invest in our people, in a BIG way!Professional development and growth is hugely important to us and we place a premium on face-to-face time and team building activities. We serve as groomsmen in each other’s weddings, we enjoy hanging out together on the weekends, and we plan each other’s bachelor parties. As cliche’ as it may sound, we really are best friends… and at the end of the day, that commitment that we have to each other pours out in our passion for building great products.We have a very horizontal leadership structure and do things not because we have to but because we want to. This company is 100% employee owned and we all care about the growth and success because we are invested in it… I’m not talking financially, I’m talking emotionally. We care about what we do and while one of our product mottos is “Never stop at “good enough” when you can be GREAT!”, we strive to go beyond great. We want to be known as entrepreneurs who dream big, plan well and dare to do the impossible.In addition to what sets us apart as people, there are some unique traits that set us apart as a company:1. We are bootstrappedDogu has never received outside funding. This has taught us a great deal about the need of creating great products that people are willing to pay money for, being cost-savings minded and adopting an agile approach to all aspects of our business.2. We are employee-ownedDogu is 100% owned by 12 of its employees keeping shareholders’ and employees’ interests completely aligned.3. We are profitableSince 2012, the company has been been profitable every single year.4. We are growingSince 2012, Dogu has grown its revenues by over 185% year-over-year.5. We are idea-drivenTop-to-bottom decision making is not our strongest suit. We always encourage everyone to come up with, debate and implement new ideas.6. We are distributedBack in the day, Dogu was located in one office in Trondheim. Our team is now distributed across Norway (Trondheim, Oslo, Bergen), USA (San Diego), France (Bayeux) and Holland (Amsterdam).7. We are flexibleWhile sitting together is necessary sometimes, we do not believe that you need to sit in an office from 9 to 17 to do your best work. We empower our team to work from where they want and on a flexible time schedule. All one needs is a laptop and a good internet connection.8. We are geared upAs true digital craftsmen, we want nothing but the best tools to do our work. We use the best tools available, such as Slack, Zoom, Office 365, Dropbox, Pipedrive, Trello, Github and of course, SalesScreen.9. We are brave nerdsWe love technology and are never scared to push the boundaries of what is possible. Our team may not be the largest but our developers are surely amongst the brightest.10. We are business mindedTechnology is only useful when it helps individuals and organizations achieve what was previously not possible. We strive everyday to understand our customers and find ways to help drive their business to become more profitable.11. We are agileWe are a small team and we cherish this. It has forced us to be agile in everything we do, to iterate quickly through possible solutions and to continuously bring improvements to our products and to our organization.12. We are independentWe are a small company with big responsibilities and we flourish with team work. But we are also good at taking ownership to get things done when we see something that needs to be improved.13. We are trustworthyIn the course of a few years, we have gone from being a 3 man unknown consultancy company to becoming a company with Products trusted by some of the most renowned companies in the Nordics: Nordea, Gjensidige, Subaru, Schibsted, Privatmegleren, Visma.14. We are familyWe see the Dogu team as a tightly knitted family who shares memories together and will keepon writing great stories. That also means that we try to include our better halves for social events.15. We are DoguIn December 2015, Dogu’s employees wrote and collectively approved the following internal vision: Dogu shall strive to be excellent and offer the best working environment possible while creating great stories for generations to come.

In 1994, two programmers started working on a web browser. The idea was to make a really fast browser, capable of running on limited hardware, keeping in mind that users are individuals with their own requirements and wishes. Opera was born. Our little piece of software gained traction, our group grew, and we formed a community. We stayed close to our users and our roots. We kept improving our software based on our user feedback, as well as our own ideas on how to make a great browser. We innovated and strove for excellence. Fast forward to 2015. The browser we once loved has changed its direction. Sadly, it is no longer serving its community of users and contributors — who helped build the browser in the first place. So we came to a natural conclusion: we must make a new browser. A browser for ourselves and for our friends. A browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. And so, Vivaldi is born.

Interaction with machines is constantly changing. Automation is increasing, but the number of machines we interact with is also increasing. These conditions require new and easier ways of interacting with machines to allow more people to control a greater number of machines with less effort and training. That’s why we are ushering in a new paradigm of control systems. Ntention are building a system of interaction between the people and the machines that are user-centered – not machine centered. The machine will understand the user – not the other way around. Our goal is to understand the intent of the user and translate it into machines. This is how we are moving beyond motion capture and into the world of intention capture.
