Descartes Conseil DNA is in managing processes in finance, people and organizational issues. We support both leaders and management teams in delivering better performance and in managing sucessfully transformation projects. We are also able to operate directly and to take in hand day to day management in finance and business operations when necessary. But first, we assist executive Managers and provide them with both training and individual mentoring to leverage benefits from collective intelligence in their teams. We can provide organizational coaching too and create a framework to increase commitment from all employees. We work with systemic approach tools and we strongly believe in "Holacracy" system as an added value in management. Last but not least, Descartes Conseil has developed a unique concept of 6 training modules enhanced by individual coaching to support any Manager willing to change its practice.
