Leadership Development

Bicycle wheel detail black and white

A Nordic company in the bicycle industry, designing and manufacturing grips, lights, chain guards, reflections, and rim tapes, was undergoing an extensive growth phase under its new CEO. The company needed continuous support in executive and expert searches, assessments, coaching, and culture workshops. Additionally, there was a need for an interim HR manager to complete the HR function while recruiting and onboarding a new HR Specialist.

SLG consultants provided comprehensive support, including conducting search processes and offering second opinions on searches. They completed leadership assessments, followed up with 360-evaluations, and provided coaching for management team members. SLG also supported the CEO in decision-making regarding management team members and fulfilled an interim HR position to stabilize the HR function during the transition period.

The transformation resulted in significant improvements, including:

  • The company achieved growth in both topline and margins.
  • Development of a well-functioning management team.
  • Establishment of a robust HR function with well-performing HR processes.
