32 SIT and one of Swedens biggest bakeries launched a innovation project with the aim of identifying distinctive values. Äntligen Subs ( At Last Subs ) was launched autumn 2008 The bread is already the forth biggest in the Swedish sale charts, with a doubled price in comparison to its toughest competition. Distinctive value: Easy to eat with one hand on the go. SIT Tool: Multiplikation 2009, SIT 35

Possible solutions where created to fulfil the differentiated value. 4. The concept behind Äntligen Subs was created. Tool: Multiplication 5. Äntligen Subs has today a volume of 180,000 packages a week and is Sweden's forth best selling bread. 2009, SIT 36

39 What value? What attribute? 2009, SIT

40 It has been a very positive experience to work with SIT in this project. In projects it is often a question of internal resources and competences versus need for consultants in projects and the same goes for this project. And the decision to go for consultants is even higher in the financial crisis we have at the moment. Now, with the result in the hand, together with the whole experience through the project as well, I must say that this was really value for money and it is not likely that we could have such a high quality result without the involvement of SIT. At the same time it was a pleasure to see how SIT took the project leader role without it being part of the scope of supply. It will be my pleasure to pay the last invoice , Thomas Möller, Alfa Laval AB 2009, SIT 43

In addition, a very minimalistic design was achieved, rendering award prizes for its innovative design. The difficult thing is that people believe that creativity is a personality trait of the best people in the company, but if you apply the right methods, like SIT, you generate many, many useful ideas. Today [4 years later] the company is still rolling out many of the 149 usable ideas generated.
