2024
Thank you to all of you who see the importance of our work explaining cultural differences and tackling the challenges of a diverse workforce.
2024 was an exciting year for us. We continued to expand our illustrated concept explaining cultural differences globally and we refined our work on the cultural differences between Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
We had the pleasure to work with well-known international companies including Nike, Siemens, TotalEnergies, Engie and L’Oréal, and to travel to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerland. 40% of our lectures and courses took place outside Norway in 2024.
In Norway, we had the pleasure to again be re-invited to speak for DNB, Equinor, Aker, Visma and BI Norwegian Business School. We also held lectures for many other companies for the first time about the peculiarities of the Norwegian culture. I also had the pleasure to be the host for the national conference of Tekna and to speak for the Norwegian Space Agency. Elise and I also worked digitally with Italian Barilla and Finnish Metso.
In total, we managed to give 45 lectures and courses in 2024 for large and small companies, universities and organizations. We had a fantastic collaboration with Høydepunkt and Evento in Norway, Management events in the Nordics and London Speaker Bureau internationally. The rest of our time was spent on growing Mondå Forlag, our little Scandinavian Publishing House.
In 2024, Mondå Forlag printed 20 000 books which included two new titles, one translation, one new edition and four re-prints. We broaden the scope of the publishing house by releasing our first book on language “High on the Pear: Funny Norwegian Translations” and on parenting “Where Babies Sleep Outside” by Cécile Moroni.
Book sales through bookshops, tourist shops, Amazon, our websites and direct sales to companies increased by 44% in 2024. In 2025, we plan on publishing one new title in English and release a new edition of “Nordmenn uten filter” in Norwegian, bringing our offering to 13 books in English, Norwegian, Chinese and French.
We look forward to working with you again.
Best regards,
Elise & Julien
