Managing the human and political dimension

Any change within a company’s departments gives rise to reticence, concerns and obstacles, which can translate into an operational dimension and prevent the transformation process from running smoothly. Operations are a key part of the company, as they must be able to deliver the strategy and business objectives.

This implies that the human and political dimension is not negligible in the success of a complex project. Our experience of this type of operational consulting assignment enables us to anticipate this type of problem.

The involvement of in-house teams and regular reporting to the various project sponsors enable us to ensure buy-in or, to guarantee the smooth running of the project, a clear understanding of the issues at stake, in order to maximize results.

Governance, sponsorship and management

Governance is a key dimension in the success of an operational mission, whether it concerns supply chain and logistics, capacity or industrial performance. Who is the sponsor on the customer side and on the consultant side, who is the project manager in charge of steering and reporting, how to handle information flows and provide the right solutions at each stage… To deal with all these dimensions, companies need experienced consultants who are used to managing this type of transformation mission, and who can be mobilized quickly.

We guarantee smooth exchanges and a clear operational framework throughout the mission, with weekly reporting by the project manager and regular exchanges with the various sponsors. This teamwork is essential to ensure alignment between the customer and the consultants throughout the assignment, and to guarantee the conditions for success.
