Discovering the Spices
Germany in the spring of 2008: Lonely project managers sitting at their desks, standing at workbenches, and being helplessly submitted to the constraints of their work. All project managers? No! Against all odds, a small, steadfast group was to be found on an isolated island in the North Sea. Even a raging storm couldn't stop these four top managers from their plans of creating something completely new in technological consulting!
Sven Scholz, Marco Schluroff, Florian Kirstein, and Gisbert Dörner have known each other since their previous positions at the same large engineering service provider. At that time it became clear to these experts that what they wanted could only be found in their own company. "Inflexible work processes and formalities often limited our ideas", Sven Scholz explains. "We wanted something fresh and more fun at work!"
Fresh island breezes helped them clear their minds. While cooking together, a breakthrough was made. "It was very simple, like most good things in life," Sven Scholz describes the "foundation experience". "We seasoned our food and immediately we knew that was it: SALT AND PEPPER! Mission statement and name in one. Just like each person has his or her own individual taste in food, we want to offer our clients their own, previously unknown, world of taste. The special touch for each project.
Thus, SALT AND PEPPER was born, an extraordinary technological consulting firm. It fits well that the "Four Islanders" are all passionate cooks. For the future, there's no need to worry. Neither they nor their clients will be left cold when it comes to the topic of food and spices!
