OUR CLIENTS & PARTNERS LOVE US
“If you have been left “underwhelmed” or dissatisfied in the past from failed consulting engagements, may I strongly recommend Hanei Consulting Group. There is a very likely chance that Hanei Consulting Group will make a profound difference in your business that subsequently will turn your company ON to new, invigorated ways of working”
Jeff Barna, President at Yokohama Tire Corporation
“I just wanted to thank Hanei Consulting for the work that you have done for us during this last project. It was a pleasure to work with you. You are one of the most professional consultants that we have had here, and the delivery of the project was in time, on budget and far exceeded the high expectations that we had. Your ability to communicate on many different levels, with many different people and get to the core of what is needed have been key to the success of this project. Your experience, attention to detail and your truthfulness have been of great use to us, in making the decisions that we need to make moving forward. I hope that we will be able to work again together in the future.”
Steven Hanny, Product Line Manager Crusher Parts and Services at Sandvik
“Hanei Consulting Group is clear, concrete, sensible, and perhaps most important of all: has a will to transform a rigid industry. Hanei is with you all the way from strategy to implementation (an increasingly unusual combination). Your go-to consultancy, in other words.”
Johannes Gustavsson, Digital advisor and author at Johannes Gustavsson AB
“I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for your work on Yokohama’s Sales Training initiative. Thanks to this unique ability/focus, you were able to make an impact much sooner than any other consultant with whom I have worked. And your impact was significant. You made it clear that no level of detail was too small and that you could be counted on to contribute in any ways needed to make this project a success. You delivered and we thank you. I also wanted to quickly mention that I am not alone in recognizing that Hanei Consulting Group makes for a very comfortable working relationship. My colleagues and I appreciate your business approach which is deliberate and purposeful, but at the same time flexible and very collaborative.”
Lynn Sweeney, Director of Sales Operation at Yokohama Tire Corporation

The paper plane approach
We believe the value lies in our clients’ organizations and its people. We aim to unlock this by combining art and science, where art is people and science are proven methods. We combine guts and data.
Imagine a paper plane and how fascinating it is because it looks so complex. A simple piece of paper has been folded and flattened until it is transformed into something unrecognizable. Sometimes it flies, sometimes it doesn’t. Then we have to adjust it and try again. If we unfold it, it is just a simple piece of paper.
We solve complex problems with simple solutions that take offset in our clients’ business models and are easy to understand without any buzzwords. Together with our clients, we will fail fast and forward, so we can realize quick-wins. We fail until we succeed.
We call it the paper plane approach.
Together we can fly to new heights. Come fly with us.
Our manifesto
WE BELIEVE
it has to make sense
If we cannot answer the “so what” questions, why do it? Everything we do has to make sense.
WE BELIEVE
in challenging the status-quo
If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got, as Albert Einstein once said.
WE BELIEVE
in having the right people
When good people meet, good things happen. Co-creating the right teams with our customers is key to successful projects.
WE BELIEVE
it must be simple
If it is simple, it is easier to onboard the organization and its people. Solutions must be simple, otherwise, they won’t fly.

Strategy
STRATEGY DESIGN
A strategy must be simple and your grandmother must understand it, otherwise, it will most likely fail and not work in practice. It is key to keep it simple.
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
A company’s organization must support its strategy. If you want to make the best pizzas in the world, you probably need a world class pizza maker.
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
Many strategies stay in nice PowerPoint presentations. To succeed with a strategy it must be implemented. It may sound obvious, but many companies fail in this phase.
Commercial Excellence
SALES
STRATEGY
Having the right sales and go-to-market strategies will help organizations prioritize their focus and unlock untapped potential.
CUSTOMER INSIGHTS AND SEGMENTATION
Target the most attractive customers and prospects, by identifying segmentation objectives and focusing on market potential across segments, geographies, and industries.
SALES
MANAGEMENT
To succeed in sales, having good salespeople is a must but the most important thing is having the right sales management to coach and develop the sales force.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
The customer is the king. That is why every touchpoint between a company and its customers can either be strengthened or weakened. A good customer experience will lead to loyalty.
PRICING
Pricing is key to become more profitable. Fine-tuning pricing can have a huge sustainable impact.
TARGETS & INCENTIVES
To ensure maximum impact from salespeople, implementing individual targets and the right incentives is vital.
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
CRM is one of the company’s most valuable assets as it involves the entire value chain. Data is the company’s DNA.
DATA
ANALYTICS
Study and use your data to understand your business with the goal of discovering new things and making the right decisions.
Project management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Many projects fail due to lack of project management, unclear objectives, people, culture, and ownership. The pyramids would not have been where they are today without clear project management.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE
Many companies have difficulties in managing one project, what about several? Imagine an airport without a control tower. We need to monitor projects in order to succeed.
PROJECT ORGANIZATION
Many projects fail due to lack of project management, unclear objectives, culture, and ownership. Having the right project organization will help to avoid that.
Change management
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
To succeed in any project, it is essential to have the right people with the right mindset. Projects often fail because they are not anchored to the organization.
COMMUNICATION
Change management is pretty much about clear communication. It is important to say the right things at the right time and to the right audience.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
Successful change initiatives start at the top level. Cascade the plan down in your organization and make sure to reward and celebrate success.
