OUR DNA
Success is more than just a number’s game
Founded by Mads Qwist in 2015, Qwist & Associates is a Nordic consulting firm based on a vision, an idea: To do consulting differently.
Specialized in organizational & leadership transformation, our core strength lies in helping senior leaders appreciate and realize human potential, in themselves, their team and their organization. Working with Qwist & Associates means redefining success beyond mere numbers, for sustainable performance and meaningful work environments.
We are proud to support senior leadership teams all across the Nordic region in overcoming challenges like leadership misalignment, strategic execution struggles, cultural integration, and complexity from rapid growth or mergers.
OUR VISION
Rethink Leadership.
Rewire Performance.
We challenge companies to rethink leadership and rewire performance. For healthy high-performing organizations that last
We value real conversations over quick fixes. Curiosity over assumptions. And trust over performance theatre. Authenticity, integrity, and deep understanding are not just buzzwords to us — they are how we work, and why our clients choose to work with us.
OUR APPROACH
Business, Psychology and Transformation
Working with Qwist & Associates means moving beyond surface-level symptoms and into the deeper patterns that shape leadership and performance.
We pour our expertise in business strategy, organisational psychology, and hands-on transformation experience into leadership initiatives that address both the operational and human sides of transformation. Always mindset-driven, always tailored, always impactful.
OUR TEAM
Your Trusted Advisors
We’re not a big-box consultancy with layers of junior consultants. We’re all experienced senior consultants working hands-on with your leadership team.
