DON’T WORRY. BE STRATEGIC.

I’m at your service, in 6 different ways:

Full-day training sessions, on “How to Be Strategic”. For up to 50 people across the company (senior executives, high potential talents, central functions, etc). **500+ sessions** delivered to over 10,000 alumni since 2006. **Discover my Speedy Training**

Short, sharp, strategic thinking skills top-up for the whole company. Each lecture lasts 60 to 90 minutes for audiences of up to 500 people. **8 talks** to choose from. All focusing on making the company better & quicker at thinking strategically. **Discover my Lively Talks**

Facilitation of strategy setting & company innovation away-days. For boards and management teams of corporates & start-ups. Typically working in hand-in-hand with the CEO and the Strategy Director. **50+ away-days** facilitated since 2008

Consulting — High-impact consulting projects. From a few days (issues diagnostic, problem clarification, etc) to a few weeks (inventing new business models, crafting pilot schemes, testing business plans, etc). Always combined with **some element of skills transfer** to the client

Sprints — Strategic business ideas delivered to you on demand. No upfront retainer. Only pay for the ideas you like. Strategic thinking at speed on a purely variable cost basis. The only way we earn a fee is if we deliver an idea that knocks it out of the park. **No idea, no fee**

One on one conversations. From a couple of hours every other week, to long in-depth days. In person or via Facetime / Zoom. Coaching for specific work issues, or broader strategic thinking skills. **Every situation is unique**, and every flavour is available.

About Me

Based in London & Paris, and working globally, I'm a strategy trainer, consultant, facilitator & coach. I specialise in helping teams and organisations solve complex problems. A French & British rocket-scientist by training, I've been lecturing on strategic thinking and complex problem solving to the CEOs and management teams of major corporations and consulting firms around the world for the best part of 20 years.

making smart people smarter

I started my career in management consulting (with Deloitte), and then completed my MBA at INSEAD. I've been working as a strategist ever since, first with Kalchas (a medium-sized Bain and McKinsey spin-off) and then with Instigate Group, where I've worked with some of the leading organisations in media, retail, consumer goods, financial services, industry, and consulting.

I currently divide my time between three areas of equal interest & excitement:

Designing & delivering strategic thinking sessions (training, talks, etc)
Facilitating strategic away-days for boards and management teams
Conducting high-impact strategy projects & ideas generation challenges
