According to recent surveys, more than 70% of medium-large companies are planning or running a “transformation program”. They want a step-change in their business & operations performance, fast and broad impacts on their P&L, as well as deeper adaptations to moving strategic environments.
Whether it is part of a digital transformation plan, cost reduction, business reorganization, integration of post-merger subsidiaries… we help executives to set a realistic level of ambition, to dare reinvent themselves, to rely on collective intelligence with an approach that “makes sense” for the people and ensures a quick and sustainable return on investment.

The key actions to plan when starting a transformation process
The initial diagnosis enables to define the key start actions: ensure that the relevant level of ambition is shared, select the right levers, dare to reinvent practices and organisation when needed, define the ROI and what can be promised to shareholders, define how to measure results, monitor impacts and orient actions, start to generate adherence among teams.
How to unleash the energy of your employees to succeed in your transformation
A transformation must be thought of as a journey involving management and teams. Beyond making sense (Why-What-How), transformation must inspire and take advantage of collective intelligence. We bring leaders and co-workers together during key events (Boost & Engage sessions), or by using our digital platform (Mews Booster). We reinforce alignment and motivation to change and allow everyone to become an actor. We foster a strong collective dynamic by combining emotional and rational interactions.
Succeed the digital transformation with the women & the men of your company
While many companies only focus on technology, tools and data to initiate their digital transformation, we are convinced that it is key to first consider human and managerial issues, as this move will be a cultural shift. Therefore, assessing the digital readiness is a critical prerequisite and will help to put the organisation in line with its ambitions. Through a digital readiness diagnosis, we build together a realistic action plan that makes sense for management and teams.
