Teams

Managers and their staff form a team, this team quite often being compared to a sports team or the crew of a ship. But it could just as well be compared to a battalion or a squadron. And while this metaphor from the military world is less often used, most likely due to the negative image of war, it is an even better illustration of what a team should be within a company: a leading force that knows how to set an example, guide, share and make itself respected; a clear, organised delivery chain; an esprit de corps that stands unified and united when faced with a challenge. As in any sport, good strategy, motivation and effort are amongst what it takes to be a winner.

Organisation

A company's processes, its resource and skill management along with its repositories constitute its lifeblood.
They are paramount to its growth.

Culture

Economic upheaval, technological trends and societal shifts all call for companies to change their corporate identity. External communication and its various channels make it possible to introduce radical change within a very short time frame. Who has never been surprised when reading the press one morning, to see that a completely unknown company has been given the same level of coverage as a group with 200 000 employees? Only to realise a few hours later, that two days earlier Suez had announced it was changing its name to Engie, for example!

Organisation

Human Resources Management Growing a start-up, moving from a period of high growth to a stabilisation phase or vice versa, coping with a suddenly very tight labour market; all of these factors can lead a company to rethink the organisation of its staff, its HR repositories and its human resources processes (recruitment, training, mobility and development).

Skills

Whether as part of a career plan, a company's need to improve its performance and outreach, an employee-set objective or a high-potential career path, employee skills tend to evolve at different rates and in different stages depending on an individual's profile and the company.

Leadership

Leadership is a crucial, if not the most important personality trait a manager must possess; pointing the way, facilitating, training, motivating and the ability to incite others are the foundations of "management facilitation". This vital quality makes it possible to avoid many pitfalls and save time on management-set objectives, by leading teams further, at a faster pace and with heightened enjoyment.
