We do projects differently.

Long and light.
Things don’t happen over night. That’s why projects at Sweav are usually part-time, 3-4 days per week. This will leave you with enough time to pursue non-work activities.
Collaborative.
You will no longer be the ‘know-it-all’ consultant. You come part of the client team and work side-by-side with clients to realize the goal.
Pragmatic.
Our clients are usually quite pragmatic. They need smart people who solve a complex problem and realize results. Less stakeholder management, more getting things done.
