Advanto is me — Christian Sjöström. I help Sweden's regions, government agencies and companies deliver complex IT projects, while exploring how AI can make project management and development simpler.

Read more →I often step into projects where a lot is already in motion and many interests need to be aligned — in healthcare, in government agencies, and in other essential public services. My job is to create structure, calm and momentum.
I help organisations plan, coordinate and carry out change where stable operations and clear communication are essential.
I help organisations create structure, make well-grounded decisions and hold the whole together over time.
I plan and lead go-lives with a focus on buy-in, clarity and a controlled rollout.
When a project has lost direction or a serious incident has hit, I help analyse the situation, rebuild momentum and regain control.
I help clients set clear expectations of suppliers, follow up on deliveries and make sure the project reaches its goals.
I'm glad to share what I've learned. My training and mentoring build on real projects, practical examples and open discussion.
A course I've built for IT project managers in the public sector. Five half-days, my own material — and one simple starting point: projects are about people more than plans.
On the difference between administering a project and leading it.
Warning signs, and the art of pausing and recalibrating.
Delivery capability versus rhetoric — and when to escalate.
A project isn't done until it delivers value in the organisation.
Influencing without authority — priorities, politics and real cases.
By day, I lead IT projects.
In the evenings, I test what AI can really do.
One evening my wife said: “Christian, you should build an app.” Thirty hours later, the first version of Familjegaraget existed. Today it's used by real families, and I shared the whole build openly on LinkedIn.
Talk the idea through before anything gets built.
A well-considered foundation, written down first.
Flows and looks that feel right.
Testing all the way through, not just at the end.
The AI writes the code. I review and decide.
I've built six AI colleagues with names, voices and areas of expertise — and I'm testing how far they can go in real project work. Everything is tested in my own company first. The goal is simple: understand what actually works before I recommend anything to anyone.
Can my AI colleagues join a Teams meeting and chip in when spoken to — with their own voices?
Can an AI colleague compile steering-committee materials from project data?
Document analysis and risk reviews — a human always reviews and decides.
My thoughts on projects, people and technology. No newsletters, no sales pitches. Just things I've been thinking about.
An engagement, some training, or just comparing notes — get in touch. I usually reply the same day.
