I am currently working out of Handhelds office in Deventer (Holland), where one of our subsidiaries is located. Right now it is just above 30 degrees in my office and all I can think of is grabbing a drink and   watch the game between Holland and Brazil. I have been working here for a week to get an insight in the sales process and also get some deeper knowledge on our coming projects and products. It has been a good week, very intense and even though I did not expect it I have seen some cultural differences compared to Sweden.

During the last weeks a lot of things have happened. First we had our yearly Business Partner Conference in the beginning of June. At the Business Partner Conference all major partners that we have throughout the world are invited for a few days of seminars, product launches and mingling. This year it was held at the brand new Elite Hotel Marine Tower. After a long day of seminars a boat took us out for a four our ride in Stockholm archipelago, a very appreciated event.

This week Handheld got certified according to the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 standards. Me and Christian has worked as project leader on this project. Which has meant no sleep for the last few weeks, we have for real been living in our office. Even though it is quite exhausting to work like this it is very motivating when you can see the end not too far ahead.

That’s all for me right know!
