Founded in 1937 by Elsa von Brander in New York, our first mission modernized urban transportation by coordinating bus and tram lines under a unified ticketing and planning system—making commuting efficient and reliable.
Since then, we have advised organizations and governments worldwide on efficiency and value creation. One example: our redesign of General Electric’s internal mail handling system increased throughput by 120%.Today, we focus exclusively on sustainability—the essential work of our time. We partner with Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) and Professor Karl‑Henrik Robèrt—global pioneers of the FSSD approach.
