”In 2013 Project Institute Finland helped us to deploy their ABC Project Model, which has turned out to be one of our best investments. Maintaining the focus is important in order to reach our growth and geographical extension goals. Company management needs to be aware of the resource usage and business benefits of the chosen projects. More organized pro-ject culture has been a key success factor for us!”Mika Hagberg, CEOSerres Oy
