Established in 1999, FSN Capital is a leading private equity adviser in the North European region with EURO 2.1b under management.
Software evaluation
FSN identified two candidate strategy execution management (SEM) solutions.
Following an evaluation process, they selected i-nexus based on the availability of – and familiarity with – three critical key reports: X-Matrix, Bowling Chart and Action Plan.
Problem statement
Hard to maintain multiple interconnected spreadsheet X-Matrices and Bowling Charts in spreadsheets.
Pain
Real impact of strategy deployment was hampered by too much focus on templates and tools.
Root cause
Spreadsheets not good with regards to version control and to enforce and maintain links between goals, KPIs and projects.
“We were really struggling to efficiently manage and deploy strategy in the portfolio with the historic spreadsheets as they become hard to use in policy deployment throughout the year. The match between our strategy framework and the Hoshin basis of i-Nexus as well as the reporting features made us go for i-Nexus as our strategy deployment tool” Knut Rosjorde, Chief Financial Officer, FSN Capital Partners AS.
Driving consistent strategy execution across multiple portfolio companies.

“Our FSN Execution Framework is critical to our success yet we were managing it with numerous spreadsheets. Now we’ve replaced these spreadsheets with a collaborative solution that makes policy deployment much easier both within our portfolio companies as well as for FSN itself.”Knut Rosjorde, Chief Financial Officer, FSN Capital Partners AS
