Jonas Ekenborn on Participating in Challenge 2: "A Wake-up Call" for Anpassa

Anpassa is a company specializing in producing and implementing functional adaptations and offering high-quality training for people with disabilities. During the fall of 2023, the company needed to undergo a major change, and business manager Jonas Ekenborn, along with rehabilitation engineer Pia Almqvist, participated in Challenge 2 to find new impulses and ideas.

Ekenborn describes the process in Challenge 2 as very inspiring, particularly the energy from both leaders and participants. "It was very exciting... everyone who was part of the project, both those leading it, but also the participants who were full of energy, open, happy, and positive!" he says, emphasizing how this energy was central throughout the entire process.

Participation led to concrete insights for Anpassa, which is now considering targeting both occupational health services and users more than before.

Additionally, the creative models in Challenge 2 inspired a new working method within the company, called "idea board," where all ideas are welcomed and evaluated. Jonas recommends other companies participate with an open mind and be prepared to reshape their original plans: "Try to formulate; what do I wish for? But then go in with a very open mind and eyes and be prepared to reshape it."

In summary, participating in Challenge 2 has been a valuable experience for Anpassa, providing new tools to navigate the company's ongoing transition.
