SpeechDesigner starts as part of a research project to help people improve their Norwegian pronunciation. The language is melodic with a strong rhythm, which poses a challenge to non-native speakers.
The team at SpeechDesigner wants to address this challenge by creating a coaching course that achieves outstanding results in a short time.
The majority of participants in the course are professionals from the private sector, such as foreign business professionals or healthcare workers.
One of the core values of SpeechDesigner has always been delivering high-quality coaching. Implementing quality management elements such as regular inspections and continuous improvement measures created a high-value result for customers, putting SpeechDesigner on the procurement list of multiple government agencies.
To be able to provide coaching services to governments and their agencies, SpeechDesigner has to provide objective evidence of the effectiveness of the pronunciation coaching.

Why is Pronunciation so important?
Authentic Communication Skills Convince And Close Deals
I remember my first project very well:
We needed to outsource a larger piece of work and perform a tender to select the best solution.
Each bidder also held a 30 minute presentation to present their solution and answer any questions. Presentations were held in English.
The presentation was a the best chance for the company teams to shine and convince us that the collaboration with them would be smooth. Our team consisted of seasoned English speakers
With the bidders coming from across the globe, we saw many good solutions on paper, but during the short presentations it was very challenging to follow some bidders, simply because of their strong accent. While trying our absolute best to follow them, it was clear that the collaboration with them could pose unknown challenges.
In the end, the bidders with a strong accent that made it difficult for us to follow them did not win the deal.
This was only the first of many projects, but the "invisible writing on the wall" was the same for all projects:
Teams with authentic English communication skills close more deals.
Knowing the vocabulary is not even half the deal. Assuming they all know the vocabulary and the solutions all work well, authentic pronunciation and communication is what makes the difference, positions companies higher and closes deals.

Why SpeechDesigner is so effective
When I was first introduced to SpeechDesigner and the SmartMotion method that utilizes the Mind-Body connection, I had a feeling this would be good - but I would be surprised.
As an engineer by heart and education, I pay attention to details and like to self-optimize. In this, I have used the mind-body connection in various ways before.
For example, when studying for university exams, I would sometimes create small choreographies to better remember patterns in the study material.
I would only use small movements as I would also do this while taking the exam - and yes, the professors did ask me if everything is okay, if they should call a nurse :-D
I achieved very good results with this method!
Why is the Mind-Body connection so effective?
Our mind, as the central nervous system, controls our body. And our body is synchronized with our mind...or rather, it should be. Because once mind and body are synchronized and act as a single unit, outstanding results are just around the corner.
That's also why the SmartMotion method works so well.
