Lars Karlsson: CapacityNow

I have three children. They are the best that ever happened to me. I love you ❤️.

Nobody has ever written a better song to a child than Paul Bono Hewson of U2. There are genious and genious. Bono is one.

This is his song to his child; The Orginal of the Species. Tonight I dedicate this song to you; Louise, Martin and Malin. You all three, special. An orginal of your own species.

U2 in Chicago 2005, performing this amazing song.

“Baby, slow down

The end is not as fun as the start

Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

I’ll give you everything you want

Except the thing that you want

You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

I kneel ’cause I want you some more

I want the lot of what you got

And I want nothing that you’re not

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don’t have to be shy about it”

This week I am spending a few days at our Manchester office in Trafford. For Brexit planning.

First we have had a Management Team meeting and secondly we had the Monthly Board meeting here in Trafford, Manchester.

It was also great to meet colleagues and staff here in Manchester.

Obviously a lot of Brexit planning to help our clients – old and new – with Brexit consequences and challenges related to trade, borders, customs and security.

And a great view from the office windows. We cam allost touch the Theatre of Dreams (Old Trafford).

I was interviewed about Brexit consequences for Swedish business and the article is oublished in todays’ issue of Dagens Industri (Swedish ”Financial Times”).

The main question was (and is) why is business not prepared for Brexit.

“It is allmost unbelievable that so few companies have prepared properly for Brexit”

There are many reasons. The most evident ones are the percieved uncertainty of what is going to happen. While we in reality already know from a Customs perspective to maybe 80% what will be needed – and thus should all companies in trade, value chains and supply chains involving United Kingdom prepare accordingly. A trader not doing the preparations properly are gambling and could face enormous difficulties both in realtion to cost, speed and predictability. A Brexit analys and action plan should include and cover 50-55 areas. Start preparing today or even better yesterday. We have still not met one single trader that has been prepared enough…
