NORTH Consulting is a boutique consultancy operating out of Iceland.  Owned and managed by Maria Kristin Gylfadottir, a native of Iceland,

NORTH, or “norður” as we say in Icelandic, represents our home´s location on the world map. Iceland lies between latitudes 63 and 68°N, and longitudes 25 and 13°W  Being one of the four main directions NORTH is also the direction all other directions are measured from.

Our mission is to help companies, public entities and non-profit organisations in developing and delivering new products, projects and services. Doing so will improve their sustainability and profitability but also  contribute to a more inclusive and better society for all.

Our vision is simple: “Make the world a better place for YOU to work in and a better place for US to live in.”  We want to help the world discover your innovative ideas, products and services.  We use insight in our decision-making and we only take on projects we believe in.  We are honest consultants and we will tell you if we don´t think your idea can fly!

We are a one-stop-shop for grant funding and also provide guidance on loan funding.  Our 360 degree service model brings your project idea to real life implementation.

We are your partner in business development, new product/service development and strategy planning.  Sometimes an outsider´s view is just the what you need to move forward with your business idea or your strategy planning. We help you develop your innovative  idea and provide you support in developing a strategy for your business or organization.

We can team up with your partnership as formal partner, particularly in entrepreneurship, education and culture oriented project, or in guiding you through the writing of a proposal and/or managing your project so that you don´t have to spend time on the hazzle of reporting.

We are your host in conferences and thematic workshops and help you in building up the spirit in your team.  We are practitioners of participatory leadership and as such believe that employee´s opinion is strength in decision-making.
