For this project, we will use our competence and experience from the power industry and our extensive knowledge about the power regulations”, concludes Rune Sjursen.

Proactima supports Sval Energi

On June 2nd, Capricorn Norway became part of Sval Energi after a successful acquisition and subsequent integration project. Proactima has assisted with project management and professional expertise to ensure that the integration project was carried out as planned and in accordance with the objectives that were defined. This was achieved despite the challenges that Covid-19 has presented to the project, the company and the community in recent months.

Initially, Proactima assisted Solveig Gas (now Sval Energi) in being pre-qualified as a licensee on the Norwegian continental shelf in early 2020. When it became clear that they would buy Capricorn Norway, Proactima was asked to assist in this process based on the our long experience with integration projects on the Norwegian continental shelf. Proactima’s effective model for such projects is based on principles of good change management with a clear understanding of where the organization is, and a clear description of where it should be by Day 1, as an integrated company. Furthermore, proper focus and fulfillment of objectives is achieved through good planning and comprehensive risk management across the various workflows, where key personnel from both companies participate.

“Proactima’s expertise, capacity and toolbox have been important parts of the success of the integration project,” says Abdelkarim Abbou, CEO of Sval Energi. “Proactima’s consultants have worked closely with us in the project, guided us safely through the various phases and made sure that we maintained our focus and energy on the right things. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Proactima team for their efforts and look forward to continued good cooperation in other areas and new projects, ”he rounds off.

Proactima contribues to a successful start-up for Go-Ahead

On Sunday December 15th, a new chapter in the Norwegian railway history was written with the new railway reform, as Go-Ahead as the first privately-operated railway transportation company started operations in Norway.

Go-Ahead will be operating the Sørlandet-, Arendal- and the Jæren routes and has established its head office in Stavanger. Managing director Cathrine Elgin and the Norwegian Minister of Transport Jon Georg Dale both celebrated the opening by travelling the newly renamed Sørtoget from Stavanger to Oslo.

Proactima congratulates Go-Ahead with a successful start-up! We in Proactima are pleased to assist Go-Ahead in establishing themselves in Norway with services within risk management, security, HR, emergency preparedness, crisis communication, ISO certification and management system. In addition, Proactima also provide our cloud based risk- and quality management tool – UXRisk.

Proactima’s competence in these important areas has been most valuable to us

Crisis management training

In November, Norges Bank carried out a full-scale emergency preparedness exercise: a bombing at the bank’s offices in London gave the preparedness organisation an authentic test.The exercise involved several partners at the bank’s offices in both Oslo and London.

Proactima supported the bank in planning and carrying out the exercise, along with contributing 17 persons as role players.

“The training gave us a lot of the answers we needed. We saw that much of the preparations are adequate, but there are some areas where we could be doing even better. I’m glad that the errors and areas to improve were found in an exercise and not in a real incident. In addition, we look forward to conducting a similar major exercise in 2018,” says Norges Bank’s special adviser, Simen Østgaard.

Norges Bank has a general agreement With Proactima for preparedness services.

Findings from the exercise will now form the basis of a further, sharpened practice run for the preparedness organisation.
