Every company will say they put people first. They know that without the full motivation and cooperation of people, nothing is possible. These are the basics. Nevertheless the alchemy is fragile especially when facing a challenge or a project. At our level we try to put ourselves in the shoes of our counterparts and understand their own referential and motivations. This is a key success factor of management.This is a key success factor for leadership that is important to integrate into transition management or project management
Let's be clear about commitment. Being committed requires intelligence and responsibility. On one hand the "plan" cannot be monolithic and targets must also be at a possible reach to be motivating. The art of commitment is to understand what really counts in the eyes of the customer and negotiate when the situation requires it. This is the essence of agility to well understand that aspect of the job. Being a service provider or freelancer should not make you forget it!
We believe without trust no prosperous business can occur over a long time. This is how we base our collaboration as transition director. When we enter the game, we give a prior confidence to those we work for, and those we work with. There is no valid reason why people would behave untrustfully. If so it is often because an important element was ignored. In all case the priority is to setup a trust climate because this is the most benefic experience for the company and employees. To achieve that one has to lead by example.

Transition Management
Successful setting of the contract and operations with end user satisfaction.
Contract profitability in line with expectations.
Continuous activity extension of the contract budget (+30%)
The continuity of service was ensured, organisation and methods were highly improved, with modern architectures & tools, and new information systems (ie : loans management) to fulfil the company strategic objectives.
Whether in Paris or Toulouse, I noticed that companies are promoting more a leader than a manager role. Nothing of this is really correct. If one is a leader but does not well organize and manage, does not show example, success is not on the way. On the opposite side if one is only managing but not inspiring the team progression will be poor.
Sometimes the company interests diverge from people’s expectations in terms of personal or collective values, all that which make sense and that you cannot claim but that you have to embody. This is what makes the leader job so interesting.
That is the advantage of being external of a company, we can play mediation and provide a fresh eye to the critical situations, with gentleness.
Therefore we should always consider win-win schemes and consider the point of view of our counterpart before providing guidance and experience.
Define your goals, harness digital for new strategies for success.
Optimize performance, organization, processes, methods and tools, in harmony with the value chain.
Master information with a long-term vision. Anticipate, choose wisely and progress.
