Organization& Governance
Your organisation is one of your company’s most strategic assets. When transformed with discernment, it becomes a powerful lever for performance, capable of providing radical solutions to your challenges in terms of competitiveness, strategy implementation and responsiveness.
This is why executives and managers must embrace it at all levels: to simplify and enhance agility, align the operational model with strategy, and anticipate future challenges.
How we support
our clients
We work with our clients to design tailor-made organisations inspired by the most successful models, with a view to boosting economic performance and promoting employee engagement:
We firmly believe that an organisation is only valuable if it belongs to those who bring it to life. Our approaches integrate transformation issues from the outset, gradually involving managers so that they take ownership of, deploy and feel responsible for their organisation's performance.
Our
expertise
Design and implement
a new organisational structure
Strategic developments, cost pressures, market transformations, integration of new activities… There are many reasons to overhaul an organisation.
Our approach combines the rigour of organisational engineering with the art of setting things in motion to design organisations that work in practice — not just on paper.
We translate your strategic ambition into a robust operational model, rooted in your economic realities, capable of adapting over time and bringing your strategy to life on a daily basis. Structure, processes, roles: each component is designed with the complexity of the company’s actual operations in mind.
We also ensure that this target is developed in collaboration with those who will bring it to life. By mobilising key players early on, we ensure ownership of the model, facilitate implementation dynamics — including social dimensions — and create the conditions for success.
Our tools provide a comprehensive and clear overview of the issues to be addressed and enable the joint development of organisational targets. The aim is to maximise overall value for the company, shareholders, customers and employees.
Simplify and streamline
to regain performance and peace of mind
In an environment marked by complexity and unpredictability, restoring simplicity and agility within an organisation becomes a strategic imperative. Far from being mere buzzwords, these fundamental levers, when placed at the heart of the operational model, strengthen execution capabilities while optimising costs.
We have developed pragmatic approaches that produce lasting results by mobilising management around a meaningful project – both business and human.
Our systemic approach leads us to focus on both team performance and the quality of their interactions, working on all levers of organisational efficiency: structure, governance, management, culture, project-based working, portfolio management, managerial roles, etc.
Our interventions bring immediate simplification effects, while triggering a sustainable dynamic by changing both the practices and the mindset of the organisation.
Strengthen the
global/local dynamic.
How can you take full advantage of your global presence?
Internationalisation creates as many opportunities as it does complexities: operational burdens, multiple decision-making levels, tangled relationships, high coordination costs, slower transformations, etc.
To capture its full value, leaders must constantly adjust their organisational model:
- Should they centralise to control costs or give local teams more autonomy to accelerate development?
- What level of harmonisation maximises synergies without hindering local adaptation?
- How can they streamline relationships between business units and countries?
These challenges also call into question the role of central functions – financial holding company, strategic function, management control, operational function? – and require clarification of the rules of engagement between central and local entities, as well as the conditions necessary for a successful global transformation.
Whether it’s rethinking an existing organisation or supporting internationalisation, we help our clients – from international SMEs to CAC 40 companies – build effective ‘global/local’ models.
Thanks to our expertise in organisation and transformation, we design approaches that mobilise each level in a coherent manner, without depriving stakeholders of their responsibilities. This is what enables transformations that are rapid, profound and sustainable.
Our strategic
collaborations
These projects reflect our commitment to helping our clients combine economic, social and environmental performance in the pursuit of sustainable success.
A global FMCG player aims to double its revenue by 2030, and the Executive Committee has identified the globalisation of its indirect purchasing as a lever for achieving this. In a highly decentralised organisation, we supported this organisational transformation driven by the central teams through:
- The implementation of a global/local organisational model accepted by all, enabling the expected savings to be achieved one year ahead of schedule
- The emergence of operational hubs, enabling the pooling of skills and the professionalisation of the function
- Unified purchasing governance and operational buyer communities
- Purchasing directors fully involved in the transformation, multiplying initiatives and promoting success stories throughout the company
- A purchasing function repositioned among business teams as a value-added player
A global player in consumer food products wants to reposition its Information Systems function to resolve issues of overly long development times and low added value for the business. To achieve this repositioning, several levers are being activated simultaneously:
- Regionalisation of local teams
- Implementation of a product organisation aligned between global and regional levels, with clearly defined business contacts
- Agilisation of practices and overhaul of core processes
Due to numerous complexities and organisational inefficiencies, a global industrial player in the construction sector wanted to transform its organisation based on a 10-year vision in order to:
- Strengthen functions and promote collaboration between them
- Improve anticipation and focus within the group
- Professionalise offer management and technical development
To achieve this, our intervention consisted of:
- Identifying growth and performance challenges
- Defining the target structure and governance
- Designing detailed organisations and operating methods
- Rolling out the organisation across the entire group
