EXPERTISE

BUSINESS ANALYSIS

Understand deeply to align strategy and reality

Problem: Organizations often rush to solutions without understanding the real problem, leading to requirements that miss the mark, stakeholders who resist adoption, and systems that fail to align with actual business value or organizational culture.

Solution: Before defining any solution, we start with strategic business analysis to understand your business context, your stakeholders, your value proposition, your data lifecycle, and organizational values. Then we address both organizational and technological change implications, identifying risks, constraints, opportunities, and competency gaps to ensure business transformation success.

Offer: Comprehensive analysis deliverables including specifications, requirements management matrices, test scenarios and UAT plans, stakeholder mapping with RACI matrices, business process documentation, decision tables, and change management procedures that bridge the gap between current state and desired future. Generative AI accelerates our analysis while enabling deeper deliverables. Offered as dedicated agents, AI accelerates the collection and analysis of your data with two minimum objectives: identify trends in your operations, particularly your processes and decisions; reveal hidden dependencies that traditional methods miss.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Integrate product vision and project discipline to deliver value

Problem: Digital projects still too frequently deliver solutions that nobody uses. Why? Because product vision gets lost in project mechanics. For example, agile teams move forward without strategic direction and actually only produce at a steady pace, without value for the client or beneficiary.

Solution: Integrated product-project leadership that bridges strategy and execution. Ensure you're building the RIGHT thing (product management) the RIGHT way (project delivery) with an adapted approach using an agile framework and/or waterfall methodology, or hybridizing both, so the solution fits your culture.

Offer: Comprehensive set of deliverables including product vision and roadmap, value-driven backlog management, exhaustive project execution (scope, schedule, budget, quality, risks, communication), and knowledge transfer so your team maintains both product and project excellence. Additionally, use of generative AI to accelerate resource planning, identify risks inherent to any transformation, and propose optimizations based on your organization's data.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Co-create to empower and sustain the change

Problem: Technology deployments fail when users resist change, lack the capabilities to adopt new solutions, or revert to old habits after initial launch. Without sustained adoption, even the best digital solutions become costly investments without business value.

Solution: Change catalysis that empowers employees by adopting a trusted facilitator posture. We create modular learning environments where each profile discovers solutions and develops competencies at their own pace, through concrete short-term wins that build confidence and momentum. This ensures changes stick and deliver sustainable organizational value.

Offer: Comprehensive support including e-learning modules, videos, manuals, interactive exercises, and serious games adapted to different learning styles. Key performance indicators (KPIs) track what matters: satisfaction, skill acquisition, adoption velocity, incident patterns, and emergence of community champions. Generative AI personalizes learning paths and accelerates content creation while providing on-demand support: giving users AI-powered guidance exactly when they need it, scaling expertise across your entire organization.

CLIENTS

Delivering a high value-added service requires not only achieving results but also ensuring absolute discretion. Consequently, client names are not published online. However, some clients have graciously agreed to serve as references. You are invited to read their testimonials on LinkedIn.

I have had the pleasure of serving clients across a diverse range of sectors, including the automobile, pharmaceutical, and luxury industries. My experience also extends to the public sector, NGOs, and software publishers specializing in R&D and security. Additionally, I have worked with companies in the energy, education, banking, and insurance sectors.

Currently I am working for a Swiss public department as Enterprise Architecture Repository Manager; therefore I am only available for short assignments as workshops and conferences, specifically around generative AI, its architecture and adoption.
