Oslo Konserthus

What Oslo Konserthus does

Excellerate AS is a privately held Norwegian consulting firm founded in 1988 (originally as Euro Business School), headquartered at Stortorvet 7, Oslo. It operates as a competence center for sales development, leadership development, and organizational culture transformation, serving large Norwegian and Nordic enterprise clients across hospitality, legal, vehicle rental, construction, retail, and technology verticals. The firm has served 200+ corporations and conducted 5,000+ development programs since inception.

The company's core intellectual property is the proprietary Rådgivende Verdisalg (Consultative Value Selling) methodology, supplemented by the KAM School for Key Account Management — described as Norway's first specialist KAM education program since 2001. Its technology stack centers on AI-powered tools: Mentr AI provides real-time natural language processing and generative coaching during sales meetings with a stated data flywheel from each conversation, while GAP Vision (and the 2026-launched GAP Vision AI module, co-developed with technology partner Computas) delivers AI-driven customer and employee insight analytics. Excello handles customer segmentation, and custom e-learning platforms such as WR LMS extend into digital compliance and onboarding.

Excellerate generates revenue through three streams: multi-year enterprise consulting engagements delivered by an exclusive network of independent senior consultants, structured Learning & Development programs, and recurring subscription revenue from AI software products. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting large Nordic enterprises through direct field sales, supported by content marketing (blog, e-books, customer case studies), events (including the annual Vekstdagen Growth Day), and a social presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around custom multi-year contracts.
