Deciding with greater precision

Conseils

Clarify a situation. Inform a decision. Structure the response.

Overview

The problem people name is not always the problem to address.

A retention difficulty may come down to a management practice. A cultural tension may signal a poorly defined responsibility. A request for training may point to a process that needs revisiting.

Advisory work connects the decision, the structure, the culture people live and the employee journey before recommending anything.

A decision is tested on the floor, in the roles and in daily practice.

Areas of engagement

Five levels, one organization

Our consultants work where decisions, structures, practices and people all need to move in the same direction.

The area most often behind the engagement Strategic planning sits at the first level : it sets the direction the other four have to support.

Engagements

Six ways in

Each family matches a recognizable situation. Framing tells us which one is yours.

  1. 01

    Strategy and planning

    The executive team has to settle on a direction and confirm the organization can carry it.

    What we examine

    The context, the priority issues, internal capacity and cultural conditions.

    What the engagement may produce

    A direction, priorities, a plan translated into responsibilities, and follow-up.

    Describe a planning situation
  2. 02

    Organizational audit and diagnostic

    Observations pile up without anyone knowing which ones explain the situation.

    What we examine

    The practices, processes, responsibilities and dynamics that keep the gaps in place.

    What the engagement may produce

    A documented diagnostic, causes told apart from symptoms, and priorities that are justified.

    Describe an audit or diagnostic situation
  3. 03

    HR structuring and tools

    The HR function has to be created, restructured or equipped.

    What we examine

    How roles are distributed, the processes, the policies and the employee journey.

    What the engagement may produce

    Clarified roles, processes, policies and guides people can actually use.

    Describe an HR structuring situation
  4. 04

    Culture, management and cultural intelligence

    The stated culture and daily practice no longer tell the same story.

    What we examine

    Cultural reference points, management practices and the consistency between values and behaviours.

    What the engagement may produce

    Shared reference points, clarified management practices and better-equipped managers.

    Organizational culture Cultural intelligence
  5. 05

    Onboarding, integration and retention

    Arrivals go badly, or departures come too soon.

    What we examine

    The full journey, from pre-arrival welcome to inclusion, and the preparation of the teams receiving people.

    What the engagement may produce

    Priorities, onboarding tools and an action plan that is tracked.

  6. 06

    Training needs assessment and materials

    Training is requested, with no certainty it will settle the situation.

    What we examine

    The real skills gap, and what actually belongs to structure or to management.

    What the engagement may produce

    A needs assessment and materials designed for your teams.

Getting your bearings

Four modes of engagement, four distinct needs

You don't have to choose the vocabulary of consulting. Start from the need.

You have to decide

Conseils

Clarify the situation, examine the options, settle on a direction and structure the response.

You have to verify

Audit

Examine practices and responsibilities against a defined framework.

You have to understand

Diagnostic

Identify the causes, tensions and dynamics that explain a situation.

You have to implement

Ongoing support

Support adoption, adjust practices and hold the course over time.

The Intégramètre is not a fifth mode. It is the proprietary tool we bring in when an engagement concerns onboarding, integration and retention.

Proprietary tool

The Intégramètre

An online tool for diagnosing, prioritizing and steering onboarding, integration and retention. It examines practices, locates the gaps, turns them into priorities and then into an action plan whose progress can be tracked.

Its structure draws on the ISO 30415 standard, translated into concrete, observable elements.

Approach

Four movements, adjusted to the engagement

01

Clarify the situation

Define the decision to be made, the scope and the people concerned.

02

Cross-reference facts and practices

Connect the data, the processes and the teams' experience.

03

Set the priorities

Tell the urgent from the essential and settle the decisions that commit the organization.

04

Design, then support

Build what is required, then support implementation.

Possible deliverables
  • Diagnostic
  • Recommendations
  • Strategic plan
  • Action plan
  • Clarification of roles
  • Processes
  • Policies
  • Onboarding guide
  • Training materials
  • Tracking dashboard
  • Implementation priorities

No single engagement produces all of these deliverables. They are selected according to the situation and the scope agreed at framing.

Next step

Describe the situation before choosing the service.

You don't need to know whether your need calls for an audit, a diagnostic, an advisory engagement or ongoing support. Tell us what is happening, what is holding, and the decision you have to make.
