Interim management to accelerate strategic initiatives for a lighting company

Lampdirect is a supplier of commercial LED lighting and provides customers with energy-efficient lighting solutions. Lampdirect is owned by World Wide Lighting (WWL), keeping a strong commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility as investors.

 

The challenge

The CEO was looking for help on key strategic topics that could set them apart from competition. However, he was hesitant to bring in a traditional consultant because of the price tag and the lack of pragmatism. He did however consider working with external (freelance) specialists, and contacted Sweav.

“ For this type of work, I prefer working with Sweav over working with the usual consulting suspects. Mainly because it’s easier to bring in an interim expert in a very specific domain without the need of hiring a full team. Next to that, it’s more reasonably priced, and the still heavily involved founder makes sure I get what I need very fast. ”
Carel van de Boetzelaer
CEO at World Wide Lighting

Our Collaboration

Two Sweavers (ex EY Parthenon and McKinsey) were hired to bring consulting skills and deep expertise on certain topics that kickstarted internal teams towards their strategic objectives. Think about building a B2B relational sales organization, benchmarking lifetime value, customer acquisition costs or to realize company wide cultural change.
