When projects become more complex, clearly defined assignments are not always sufficient. Permitting issues, strategic choices, work peaks, and specialist shortages require flexible solutions. Ecogain is therefore launching its comprehensive resource service—a resource that is tailored to the customer's needs and focused on results.
Organizations within energy, industry, and civil engineering operate in increasingly complex project environments. Needs change over time, and internal resources are not always sufficient. To meet customer demand, Ecogain has developed the comprehensive resource service, which combines strategic support, management, and specialist expertise in a single role.
A resource shaped by need
Unlike a traditional consulting assignment, the overall resource is not based on a fixed template. The approach is tailored to the customer's project and organization. This may involve providing support during a critical licensing process or an intensive project phase, but also driving a strategy process forward or contributing specialist knowledge in areas such as wind power, solar power, or mining.
"In my role as a comprehensive resource, I step into the customer's organization and work closely with the business on a daily basis. I am in contact with many different employees and contribute my experience while learning about their working methods and culture," says Evelina Risberg, Senior Environmental Specialist at Ecogain.
More than a traditional project manager role
The role differs in terms of its breadth and continuity. Instead of delivering a specific result within a specific assignment, it involves long-term collaboration where several perspectives are handled in parallel.
"The biggest difference compared to a regular project manager role is the number of issues I handle simultaneously. Working as a comprehensive resource gives me broader insight into the customer's needs, which allows me to provide more comprehensive advice," says
Josefin Ohlson, Corporate Lawyer & Senior Project Manager at Ecogain.
In practice, the work may involve strategic advice, legal expert support, coordination between departments, project progress, and follow-up over time.
When internal resources are insufficient
The service is particularly valuable when projects require extra capacity or specialist expertise beyond what is available on site.
"The need is clearly evidentwhenthe customer's internal resources are insufficient, especially in extensive and complex environmental permit processes. In such cases, we can contribute both experience and relief as a comprehensive resource, while ensuring that the processes continue to move forward without placing too much strain on the customer's organization," says Evelina Risberg.
For the customer, this means increased power to act and reduced vulnerability.
Security, speed, and specialist knowledge
One of Ecogains' clients, Sunna Group, highlights both Josefin Ohlson and Ecogains' support as crucial in legally complex matters:
Sunna Group uses Ecogain as its legal sounding board. Josefine's availability, speed, and deep knowledge of environmental and real estate law are crucial to my cases. Her professional and friendly approach, together with Ecogain's extensive knowledge base, creates a secure process where she effectively helps me navigate complex legal issues.
How the comprehensive resource makes a difference
Many projects extend over a long period of time, and when conditions change along the way, continuity becomes a challenge. Here, a comprehensive resource can create space for the right questions at the right time.
"In my case, through organization, planning, and administrative work, I have created conditions for the project manager to focus on substantive issues and the actual project management. By taking care of administration and coordination, we have reduced the burden that otherwise takes a lot of time and energy, which has led to a more efficient way of working in the project," says Evelina Risberg.
With Ecogain as part of the team, the customer gains more than just extra capacity. The role creates structure, momentum, and security, shortens the path to decisions in complex processes, reduces bottlenecks in the organization, and provides access to specialist expertise that might otherwise be difficult to obtain. This allows work to continue smoothly, and the organization becomes better equipped to handle both current and future challenges in projects.
