Three-act strategic change: towards sustainable transformation
All too often, strategic change is associated only with its visible and symbolic aspects, i.e. the day when the executive announces a change of strategy, marking a salutary break, … necessarily salutary. However, strategic change must first and foremost be seen as a process. As Antoine Riboud, founder of Danone, once said: “You only discover […]
Are you as Merchant as Blaise Pascal ?
The Merchant World is all too often the poor relation of the six reference Worlds that enable us to visually map the Worlds present within an organisation, or between two organisations that need to cooperate. We carried out a World analysis on the motivational levers of the Corporate Banking teams of a major European bank: […]
The World of Laurent Berger: a leader at the crossroads of the Civic and Merchant Worlds
The World of Laurent Berger: a leader at the crossroads of the Civic and Merchant Worlds This is where compromises are made between the balance of power and the general interest.

This is the story of 3 rugby referees…
Three rugby referees share best practice during their World Cup preparation course The first referee says: “I whistle for every foul”. The second referee says: “I whistle every foul I see”.

Cooperation is bullshit ?

The key indicator is the number of cars produced. Factories must be able to produce cars of different brands. And the list of cooperative ventures to […]
New Renault – Nissan agreement: “One step forward, two steps backwards” in cooperation?
With the new Renault-Nissan cooperation agreement, and as in the nursery rhyme “One step forward…”, I am not sure that the players really know whether they have moved forward or backward, beyond the façade of speeches. The agreement that prevailed before, the RAMA (“Restated Alliance Master Agreement”), with its Byzantine contours, was only held together […]
Does the French pension reform bring us closer to a better World? (2/2)
Pensions: a technocratic and uninspired reform At a time of political manoeuvring that accompanies the review of the pension reform project in the Assembly, it seems interesting to apply our “Better World” grid to offer you a fresh and objective look. To sum up the reform project, it is about preserving our pay-as-you-go system, one […]
Does the French pension reform bring us closer to a better World? (1/2)
