Kintella improves dialogue between relatives and staff within the caregiving sector. Today, dialogue in the caregiving sector is inefficient and insufficient. Time is spent on coordination, not care. Dialogue is on practicalities, not personalities. By 2050, 17% of the global population will be 65+. In Denmark 65+ year olds will increase by more than 40%. Many of them in need of care. Global shortages in the caregiving sector leaves relatives to be the backbone of caregiving. Relatives who are juggling caring for elderly family members with holding down full-time jobs. Kintella offers multiple services through one user-friendly platform. We digitize and automate the coordination of calendars and tasks. We structure and target the communication. At the same time, we integrate with health care systems. Kintella started out of a personal experience of the founders. At the same time as a family member moved into a care home in Denmark, other family members moved into care homes other places in Europe. The family wanted to be able to stay close and follow the citizens in their everyday life as it was difficult to visit - especially during Covid-19 lockdowns in Europe. We were faced with having to coordinate a lot of tasks and calendar-topics - both with the staff and within our group of relatives. Moreover, communication from the care homes was poor in some areas which affected the quality of the dialogue with the family members and staff badly. We dream of the day when staff or a relative of a citizen in a care home comes up to us and says that Kintella has supported them in providing a better value of life for the person they’re taking care of.

Management Consultancy Founded in 2016, Personae (pɜː(ɹ)ˈsəʊnai) is a management consultancy that does business transformation on your terms. We are a motley group of highly skilled professionals with the one common goal of finding and releasing the potential in your business and leadership. As outsiders we help spot your opportunities. Once on the inside we help you shape the solutions, create the results as part of the team and reinforce the effects as trusted advisors. In addition to individual competences, our consultants also have deep and diverse experiences from clients in both the public and private sectors. Years of experience. Loads of tools and methodologies. Lots of successful projects. Oh, and yes some failures too. To DO we need to work the WHY before the WHAT – and always be certain of the HOW. And so, we help you understand WHY you need to act by asking the right questions. Remember that your business exists in an everchanging world governed by external factors such as politics and cultures, innovative technologies and a dynamic marketplace and, of course, your customers’ needs and ideas. Some companies struggle to keep pace, others beat the market. Where do you need to be? WHAT then is required to be in that sweet new position or to have those organisational capabilities enabling you to outperform others? Personae helps you develop and adjust the shape and content of your business. This may be the inner workings like the business or operating model, your process landscape or your tech capabilities. Or it may be your teams’ competencies, your products and services or the way you perform as leaders. Or all of the above. Now, understanding the WHY and knowing the WHAT leaves you with the task of getting it done. But going from blueprint to actual operations often leads to a road of failed initiatives or diluted objectives. Personae is born out of a HOW reality. Getting the job done is about the content, the process, and the people – all three areas must be dealt with in a structured manner. We work at a leadership level using change methods and project & programme management techniques to drive the change. We engage all relevant organisational levels in the daily operation to make the change stick and ensure the effect in your business.

We are behind af number of established transparent and sustainable online trading platforms. Both establishment and the further development of the platforms are based on many years of experience in the business, as well as on dialog between professionals. Let’s go back in time It all started at the cutting edge of international retail trade of FMCG products. Thousands of containers of tuna, sweet corn, coffee, pasta and numerous other products being competitively traded worldwide for decades. Hard core business capabilities formed the foundation of our company. This unique competence met the need for digitalization and the best available online e-commerce tech skill was added to the equation. Boasting a technology enabled online trading platform that was scalable and offered new and alternative routes to market for hundreds of suppliers to the retail industry was a logical next step. With increasing signs of worrying effects of climate change the global sustainability agenda, supported by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, forced us to look even closer at our own contribution towards a sustainable future. Today, our strategic journey and development efforts are steered towards finding new ways to fill the gaps in the global production and supply chains. With our business acumen, our platform technology skills and competences within sustainable e-biz thinking we intend to find new ways to redistribute, reuse, repurpose, recommission and reconfigure some of the vast resources that are wasted every year. In order to find a new use for them elsewhere.

Heaply is an upcoming plant-based confectionery brand on a mission to make chocolate eating for everyone. It is a colorful chocolate universe that will create a lot of smiles and that hopefully many people can relate to. Our portfolio currently consists of five tasty plant-powered (and addictive) chocolate products including milk-free chocolate coated almonds & liquorice and banana mallows covered with dark chocolate. We are furthermore constantly working on bringing even more cool ideas to life! We take pride in thinking different, using heaps of humor and that our products will convince non-vegan people too. Actually, our products are for everybody, and we know that sounds too much of a target group but hey... if you taste our choccies you will definitely understand. The lack of newness and limited options in the Danish confectionery industry, gave us the courage to get started and chase the position as frontrunner of plant-powered confectionery in Denmark. We are currently super busy with everything from new products, updates of our packaging, cool marketing initiatives and lots of SoMe stuff! We have a long way to go but our products taste fantastic! (at least that's what we think - and luckily we also had lots of positive feedback from customers all over Europe!) We will be needing hands in the future so if you feel you could help us to raise the bar a notch (or 100) then reach out - or keep us on your bucket list. We are always curious and open for a short talk.
