Daniel Andersson, Application Consultant
Daniel works as an application consultant and team leader. He has a competitive spirit and does not give up easily. For this reason, an unsolved problem on a Friday afternoon can occupy Daniel’s mind until Monday morning.
Daniel’s interest in 3D graphics and programming attracted him to Configura. Daniel had finished his Computer Science studies in Västerås and was jobhunting when he read about Configura.
“The article said that they were a leading IT company and that they invested a lot of resources in creating a stimulating working environment. This is important to me. After all, you spend a lot of time at work. Plus, my work is very stimulating and developing.”
Daniel is the team leader for the Swedish branch of CET Office. The group is comprised of four application consultants who mainly work with customers and projects in the office furniture market. ”We have adapted our software to make it easy for our customers when they, for example, want to draw and design an office. The solutions that we offer eliminate many unnecessary steps, which makes our software much easier to use and more intuitive. It allows users such as kitchen or office furniture salespeople to spend more time on providing a creative solution and focusing on design, instead of working with rules and administrative details.”
Last year, Daniel participated in Configura’s “New as a Manager” training program. As a team leader, he is responsible for making sure that his team members are able to develop and reach their professional goals.
His management training has whet his appetite. “I achieved greater knowledge and insight about myself and how people work. An important aspect of being a team leader is the ability to see things from someone else’s perspective and to understand their reasoning. We are constantly faced with new challenges and in those circumstances I have to be able to encourage my colleagues to share ideas and suggestions that can lead to a solution for the problems at hand. My experience is that Configura nurtures a creative environment that makes people want to stay.”
This autumn, Daniel will be doing more leadership training. “I’m very excited. This training allows me to develop and expand my competence.”
