"Nothing can be built without a diagnosis as accurate as possible, but above all, mostly accepted by all the stakeholders of the company!" Anthony Riboud

In other words:
✪ Soak up your environment and assess your impartiality before acting
✪ Involve the stakeholders impacted by your decisions: shareholders, top & middle management, staff, partners (business and trade unions), customers, suppliers.

The "Imp'Act" approach allows you to address urgent or important issues from a new perspective: by weighing your attitudes, actions and their direct, indirect and induced effects.
What are the impacts? Positive or negative, they are real. Is the content, or the style of the decision relevant?

Self-employed, I will be your contact throughout your evolution.

Corporate leader, in order to focus more on your business development, you need to:
✪ Increase your risk management control in emergency–like situations or through exponential growth
✪ Evaluate the cost of inaction to anticipate possible issues in case of a status quo
✪ Develop methods that promote staff’s autonomy

Examples of missions:
✪ Coaching Subsidiary managers’: Unlock individual talents and collective intelligence within the local organization as both are assets in complex situation with multiple actors;
✪ Implementation of a suitable operational mode: a contextualized approach tailored to the country or the region, the level of business development and local partners;
✪ Coaching Managers’: process analysis and activity’s valuation reflected in the collective and individual performance system adapted to the environment.
