About Taight
From production floor to system architecture, building products and systems that create real business value.
Our Story
TaiGHT Consulting AB was founded with a clear belief: the best work comes from understanding the full chain, from first-line operations where tools must work under real constraints, through the systems and processes that connect them, to the strategic direction that determines where an organisation is heading.
Too many technology engagements start with code and never touch the business reality. Too many strategy projects produce slides instead of working systems. We bridge both, combining hands-on product development with strategic foresight and modern software engineering to build systems that hold together across the full chain.
Our work spans custom software development, AI enablement, product and system innovation, and future strategy. We help organisations see where their industry is heading, identify the highest-impact opportunities, and build the products and systems to get there, physical, digital, or combined.
Mission: Innovate tight, innovate right
Bridge the gap between first-line reality and future direction, through products and systems that create real business value.

Niclas Andrén
Bridger of Bytes & Brainpower (aka Owner, Coder, Strategist, Coffee Consumer)
I work at the intersection of industry, technology, and product innovation, with a focus on building solutions that create real, measurable business value.
My journey started in manufacturing, working hands-on with CNC machining and high-precision components. Over time, the focus shifted from building parts to improving systems, quality, processes, and how information flows through an organisation.
A defining moment came early in that transition. Through the Future Management Program at Kairos Future, I studied strategic foresight, trend analysis, and how to navigate uncertainty. Rather than simply changing roles, I took a step back to understand where industry and technology were heading. That perspective has shaped everything since.
Background
My formal education reflects that same pattern of intentional development:
Industrial foundation: Started in aerospace manufacturing, building the hands-on understanding of production that still grounds every project
Strategic foresight: Certified Future Strategist, trained to read where industry and technology are heading before choosing a direction
Leadership & quality systems: Industrial engineering studies plus IPMA certification, adding theoretical depth to 13 years of practical experience
Product engineering: Mechanical engineering and product development studies, bridging the gap between design intent and production reality
Software development: The pragmatic pivot into .NET, C#, and full-stack development, completed on distance while working full-time, and still deepening with advanced topics like parallel programming
A Rare Combination
Hands-on industrial experience
Structured improvement and leadership frameworks
Technical capability across physical and digital products
What Sets Me Apart Is Perspective
I understand:
The first-line reality, where tools must work under real constraints
The leadership view, where decisions depend on reliable data and clear systems
And the future direction, where technology reshapes both
That lets me lead the design and development of products and systems, whether physical, digital, or combined. They have to hold together across the full chain.
Through Taight Consulting AB
The focus is on product and system innovation, data-driven and operational systems, and exploring emerging capabilities such as AI and applied AR in real-world contexts.
The approach is consistent: understand the full context, challenge assumptions, and build systems that work, not just in theory, but in practice.
