In an era of constant change and increasing demands for sustainability, TGS Edlund & Partners stands at the forefront with revolutionary leadership. Being a leading audit and advisory firm means more than just delivering services; it’s about inspiring, guiding, and creating real value for our clients and the wider community. We are proud to share our journey and the impressive results we have achieved through our comprehensive leadership and business acumen program.
E3P Leadership Program: The program that changed almost everything
To achieve our vision of becoming a leading player in Sweden and the Nordics, we identified that leadership within our firm would be crucial to our success. Hence, we established the E3P Leadership Program, developed in collaboration with an external leadership expert. Over the past ten months, our leaders, and partners have participated in this tailored program. The program has not only transformed our approach to leadership but also our business model and strategy. Through carefully designed modules and practical exercises, our leaders have refined their skills and taken our firm to new heights.
Through extensive testing, we have been able to measure a significant improvement in our leadership capabilities, with results showing increases by several units. This improvement has directly contributed to our business success, where in the past five months alone, we have seen an increase in new and additional sales of more than 800,000 euros, with the majority being recurring annual revenue.
A strategic transformation: From service firm to a selling advisory firm
One of the most remarkable aspects of our journey is how we have transformed our operations from a traditional service bureau to a sales-focused advisory firm. This strategic shift has been a central part of our new vision, which is built on three pillars: People, Planet, Profit.
People
Our employees are our greatest asset. We have focused on creating a work environment where they can grow and develop, which in turn benefits our clients and the community we serve. By prioritizing the well-being and development of our employees, we have fostered a culture of engagement and innovation.
Planet
Taking responsibility for our environmental impact is not only a moral obligation but also a business necessity. We have implemented sustainable work practices and are continually striving to reduce our ecological footprint. This commitment is an integral part of our business strategy and contributes to long-term sustainability for both the firm and the planet.
Profit
Economic success is crucial for driving our firm forward. However, our focus on sustainability means that we strive not just for short-term profits, but for creating long-term value for all stakeholders. By combining business acumen with strong leadership, we have built a stable and profitable foundation that benefits both the firm and society.
Leadership: The key to success
Strong leadership is the cornerstone of our strategy. It is through leadership that we can integrate our three pillars and steer the firm towards a sustainable and successful future. Our E3P Leadership Program has not only improved our leaders’ abilities but also inspired them to think long-term and strategically. They are now better equipped to navigate a complex and ever-changing world, making us a stronger partner for our clients.
This fall, we will launch the next round of the E3P Leadership Program, where the participants will be the future leaders and managers of our firm. By continuously investing in the leadership development of our employees, we ensure future successes and maintain our position as a regional industry leader, facilitating our journey towards our vision.
An inspiring future
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far, but we see this as just the beginning of our journey. Our success has shown that strong leadership, combined with a clear vision and a sustainable strategy, can lead to extraordinary results. We hope our journey can inspire other firms in our industry to also invest in leadership development and sustainability.
It feels fantastic to stand here today and reflect on the three important cornerstones that shape our future: People, Planet, Profit. In today’s global society, these concepts are central to businesses worldwide. By understanding and valuing our employees, taking responsibility for our environmental impact, and creating economic success in a sustainable manner, we can make a real difference together.
Let us continue our journey towards a more sustainable future, where strong leadership is our compass and “People, Planet, Profit” is our guide. Together, we can create a positive and sustainable impact, both for our firm and for the world at large.
