A service shaped around the situation
Not every need requires the same solution.
Sulonen Solutions services can be limited to one clearly defined task or built into a longer-term development partnership. The aim is not to sell the largest possible package, but to find a sensible way to get the necessary work done.
The work may begin with a short discussion, a focused assessment or a clearly defined project. When needed, the responsibility can expand into part-time development leadership or a demanding interim mandate.
01
Temporary leadership responsibility
Interim Management
An experienced leader for a situation where decision-making, profitability or change cannot wait for recruitment.
When is this service suitable?
- A leader or key person is temporarily unavailable.
- The business quickly needs a new, clear direction.
- A company in crisis needs a rapid turnaround.
- The change requires cost reductions and significant structural changes.
- The owner or board needs an experienced person to lead the execution.
What do you get?
- A clear mandate and decision-making rhythm.
- A prioritised action plan.
- Hands-on leadership and execution.
- A controlled handover to your own organisation.
- A strong track record of completed transformation projects
02
Outsourced executive-level development expertise
External Development Manager
You gain an experienced C-level and executive management developer as part of your organisation without a full-time recruitment. The workload is scaled to your needs, while responsibility, continuity and participation in the company’s daily operations remain genuine parts of the cooperation.
The client gains access to decades of experience, networks and contacts only to the extent needed—quickly and without a lengthy recruitment process.
Typical responsibilities
- Prioritising, leading and monitoring development initiatives.
- Developing sales, profitability, processes or systems.
- Supporting the executive team and preparing decisions.
- Bringing together partners, suppliers and the required specialists.
- Building operating models, responsibilities and monitoring practices.
How can the cooperation be arranged?
- For example, 1–3 days per week or a pre-agreed number of hours per month.
- Participation in an executive management meeting, for example once a month on site.
- Required departmental, project and follow-up meetings via Teams or at the client’s premises.
- When needed, a client email account and access to agreed systems with appropriate permissions.
- The scope, mandate and objectives are agreed in advance and reviewed regularly.
03
Regular outsourced maintenance service
Maintenance and Back-Office Support
We take care of agreed ongoing maintenance and back-office tasks with a small but regular workload. The service may include publishing content, updating intranets and websites, and maintaining sales materials, pricing information and selected systems.
The service suits a company that needs continuity and a named person responsible for the work, but not a full-time internal resource. Maintenance can begin directly in existing channels or after a separate implementation project.
What can we maintain?
- The company’s LinkedIn channel and agreed regular posts.
- Intranet news, instructions, contact details and other current content.
- Website content covering services, personnel and current topics.
- Sales materials, price lists and essential product and service information.
- Agreed tools and systems used to maintain commercial or operational information.
How does the service work?
- A weekly or monthly rhythm and workload are agreed for the work.
- The channels, systems and tasks to be maintained are defined in advance.
- The client provides the required source information, or we agree where it will be collected.
- Completed changes and open tasks are documented.
- The service is limited to the agreed maintenance tasks and is not an unrestricted general administration resource.
- Broader renewals and new implementations are defined as separate projects.
04
A defined task. A clear outcome.
Standalone Projects
We deliver clearly defined development projects from planning to implementation. The objective, scope, responsibilities, schedule and completed outcome are agreed before the work begins.
A project can solve a specific practical problem or build an entirely new service, system or operating model. It may be one of
the examples below—and much more:
Intranet and Internal Communications
Needs assessment, structural design, intranet implementation—for example on SharePoint—content migration, a publishing model and implementation support.
New Transport Route or Service
For example, adding Scandinavian road freight to the current service offering: market and partner analysis, support in contract negotiations, pricing foundations, processes, instructions and implementation.
Systems
Requirements definition for a TMS, CRM or other business system, comparison of alternatives, support in supplier selection, implementation and go-live assistance.
Processes and Instructions
The quotation–order–delivery–invoicing chain, responsibilities, work stages, exception handling and documentation of practical instructions.
Sales and Pricing
Sales model, quotation process, price lists, management of purchase and sales prices, customer monitoring and the required tools.
Current-State Assessment
An independent assessment of processes, systems or commercial operations, together with a prioritised plan for solving the identified problems.
Continuity after the project
Projektin valmistuttua vastuu voidaan luovuttaa kokonaan asiakkaalle tai move into a light maintenance service. For example, we can maintain intranet content or update the purchase and sales prices of a new transport service in the client’s tools.
05
Experience shared as practical insight
Lectures and Speaking Engagements
Practical talks for educational institutions, companies and industry events.
Topics
- Freight forwarding and international logistics.
- B2B sales and sales management.
- Sales tools and commercial processes.
- Leadership, change and practical decision-making.
Format
- A single lecture or keynote.
- A lesson or broader training programme.
- An internal company workshop.
- Content can be tailored to the target audience.
Does this situation sound familiar?
The service starts with the need, not a ready-made box.
The cooperation can be built as a light or extensive engagement. What matters is that the objective, responsibility and next step are clear.
Is development not moving forward?
Daily work takes all the time, and important initiatives have neither an owner nor a rhythm.
Is there a leadership gap?
A temporary resource gap or change requires an experienced leader quickly.
Does sales need more structure?
Objectives, activity, monitoring or customer messaging do not form a coherent whole.
Is a process leaking value?
Responsibilities, systems or information flow create waste and unnecessary work.
Does something new need to be launched?
A new service, operating model, customer relationship or market needs someone to make it happen.
Is an outside perspective needed?
Management wants a direct, experienced and independent assessment of the situation.
Next step
Not everything needs to be solved in the first conversation.
In a quick Teams chat, we can identify what matters most and whether Sulonen Solutions is the right partner for the next step.
Leadership. Development. Execution.
