About us

Mosaïca was born where easy explanations stop.

A behaviour never comes from nowhere. It takes shape in a culture, in relationships, in practices, in decisions and in a way of organizing work.

Our story

Before Mosaïca, there was a problem to solve.

  1. 2012

    Recruiting was not enough.

    The first workers recruited internationally leave the company. One thing becomes clear : bringing people in is not enough. Those who arrive, and those who receive them, both have to be prepared.

  2. 2019

    The question went beyond a single company.

    A series of gatherings, first as lunch-and-learn sessions, brings together leaders from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean around situations experienced in their organizations : integration, management, diversity, labour relations and welcoming practices.

  3. 2021

    Mosaïca takes shape.

    Mosaïca is founded as a division of Groupe Industriel AMI. The name is suggested by Lise Cardinal. The question is already no longer only about recruiting, but about better preparing managers, teams and the people who arrive.

  4. Today

    The question has widened.

    That experience has become a broader way of looking at organizations : their culture, their management practices, their decisions and the conditions in which people work, collaborate and find their place.

What we have learned from it

Behaviours are visible.
The systems that produce them are far less so.

An organization states intentions, organizes practices and produces a daily experience. Situations attributed too quickly to individuals are often better understood in the gap between those three levels.

  1. 01

    What is intended

    Strategic directions, stated values, announced priorities.

    What the organization says it wants.

  2. 02

    What is organized

    Responsibilities, structures, processes, tools and management practices.

    What it actually puts in place.

  3. 03

    What is experienced

    Welcome, integration, relationships, tensions and day-to-day experience.

    What people actually live.

Our work begins in the gaps between those three realities.

The people behind Mosaïca

Three perspectives. One organization to understand.

A management decision does not always produce the expected effect on the ground. An HR practice is not always experienced the way it was designed. A cultural difference does not explain everything.

Portrait of Lise Cardinal, honorary patron of Mosaïca

Our honorary patron

Lise Cardinal

Connecting the people who move ideas forward

Even before Mosaïca took shape, Lise Cardinal had grasped its spirit. She is the one who suggested the name, inspired by the singularity of individual paths and by the strength of what they can build together.

A recognized specialist in relationship networking, an international speaker and an author, she has devoted her career to making networks a genuine lever of trust, mutual support and development. She has written and co-written three books on networking : Comment bâtir un réseau de contacts solide, Réseautage d’affaires : mode d’emploi and Réseautage d’affaires : mode de vie.

As Mosaïca’s honorary patron, Lise enriches our thinking with her ideas, takes part in our Regional Roundtables and helps create encounters with people and areas of expertise that deepen the conversation.

Her experience, her perspective and her ability to build connections contribute to Mosaïca’s reach and to the depth of the thinking we want to bring out.

How we work

Understand what is at play.
Make the gaps visible.
Act on practices.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Look at the situation, its context and the different possible readings before concluding.

  2. 02

    Make visible

    Bring out the gaps between intentions, practices and lived experience.

  3. 03

    Act

    Turn that reading into decisions, practices, skills or tools that fit.

What we want to build

Organizations whose intentions are recognizable in daily life.

Managers prepared for the reality of their teams. Onboarding journeys that do not rely on improvisation. Cultures able to look at what they produce. Decisions whose effects are observed as closely as their intentions.

Our visual universe

The mosaic is not our decoration. It is how we represent organizations.

Distinct elements. Relationships. Tensions. Trajectories. Then, when you step back, a structure appears. Our mosaics express this way of looking at organizations : understanding the parts without losing sight of the whole.
