For SeniorTeams and Groups Working in English

English is the language of business.  There are now more people speaking English as a second language in the world than there are native speakers of English.  More and more international companies, whether their headquarters are in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Spain or Holland need to run workshops and strategic team meetings in English.  Many French companies have decided that if they wish to stay effective in their foreign operations it is too much to expect all of its overseas executives to learn perfect French.  So the compromise, in electronic mail, in telephone conversations and in team meetings or workshops is to speak English.  One of the first things that Carlos Ghosn did was to come up with a mini-dictionary of vital words in English so that his Japanese and French reports could speak the same langage.  Even Rémy-Cointreau, one of the most prestigious names in French business has French employees reporting to Dutch managers in English.   Xerox requires its technicians in France to work in English, and the list goes on...  We can facilitate workshops in English in Europe and we also have the multicultural sensitivities which are necessary in modern business.

We have a proven track record in facilitating meetings in English and French on the topics that concern every management team :

• Strategic Analysis

• Strategic Choice

And many other subjects.  Our contribution to your meetings can be tailored to meet your precise needs. Within a few days after the end of the meeting we send back to you a transcript of what happened during the on-site or off-site meeting, with a record of all actions or charters which were decided upon by the group.  We have a wide knowlede of meeting facilities, chateaux and activity-based locations in the Paris area of France.
