I help groups converge to tackle critical challenges.

Individuals and groups gain coherence, agility and performance through transformation from within (self-organising teams).

Assignments and talks for

You want to involve the people concerned in a decision, a project or a tool, or help a large group converge.

Your team needs to regain its capacity to act together, often in the middle of a transformation.

You have an important decision to make, a complex situation to unblock or a change to go through.

I start from the group's own resources rather than from outside expertise.

Systemic

I look at the interactions between people, the organisation and its context.
Participatory

I don't arrive with a ready-made solution. I create the conditions for the people concerned to build a fitting answer.
Experimental

Ideas quickly become concrete trials, adjusted along the way.
Research-based

My practice draws on a PhD in social sciences and on years of fieldwork.

Drawn from my doctoral thesis, it helps teams of teams converge within a few days.

Listen to each other

Each person says what they are going through and what matters to them, including what usually stays unspoken. The group forms a shared picture of the situation before looking for solutions.
Agree on priorities

Together, the group chooses the few challenges to act on now. The others are noted for later.
Pool resources

Skills, time, equipment and data are shared according to rules the group sets for itself, as commons.
Create the essentials

The group makes few solutions, but essential ones, published so that others can reuse and adapt them.
