People Who we are
New Future Formula is a management consultancy company, founded 2007. Our mission is to support organizations in Continuous Business Improvement (CBI).

- We inspire, evaluate and improve existing CBI-programs.
CBI is our name for lean, six sigma, continuous improvement and operational excellence - the umbrella for organizational strive for better, faster and cheaper.
Continous Business Improvement
CBI starts and ends with cultural change. Often, our starting point is to realize very specific improvements with clear meaning and clear targets. The improvements are typically equal to an effect by 4-16% of the revenue. We do it in a way that creates happy and committed people. In the end we have a “people’s movement” which means an aligned organization that drives waves of purposeful, profitable and understandable improvements on a continuing basis.
Our clients are
- Industrial groups who strive to be world class in CBI
