The logic of clusters
A concerted training program within the enterprise makes it possible for its
management team and its staff to quickly adapt the management tools proposed
to their department and to the entire organization.
Groups are constituted in the form of clusters and which follow the actual
architecture of management teams, each group being composed of an executive
and his/her direct collaborators. In small and medium sized firms (PME) of less
than 50 persons, a single cluster is set up.
Two simultaneous comprehensive actions
Initially the intervention comprises two simultaneous actions:
- a horizontal action of methodological support involving the management
teams and the staff
- a vertical action, in at least two basic units (service, agency,
workshop), involving operatives (workers, employee) and the supervisors of
those unit
This simultaneous horizontal and vertical action makes it possible to ensure
a better integration of the socio-economic intervention in the company strategy,
and to solve operational and strategic dysfunctions which are often interconnected
.
Within enterprises of up to 50 active members (small and medium sized firms),
the action is integrative: it combines the horizontal action with the vertical
one, the latter then involving all the personnel, including the CEO.
- A carefully designed action pace : the chronobiological process.
The socio-economic intervention is adapted to the specific biological rhythms
of the company activity. Those rhythms must be modulated enough
to impact a real impulse to action, but compatible with the company activity
and living pulsations, so that its members might assume as well the normal activity
in their field as the implementation of improvement actions and the new management
practices.
The implantation year is thus schematized :
