I have been lucky enough to benefit from the support of “Culture Works” (formerly Lifran) during 3 years as a CEO of Actiris. ​ Their support had a huge impact on the whole direction committee as well as myself as a participative leader.​ As their most impactful qualities I would like to mention : ​ A high positive impact to grow participative leadership at Actiris since 2016 because of their integrative approach on the entire system.​ Strong capabilities to help leaders collectively and individually to grow their consciousness of / to integrate what it takes to succeed the change journey.​ An ability to bridge the conceptual level with the reality of the teams and the structural enablers.​ An effective and contagious… tough empathy ! ​ In short, they have been a strong team at our side.​

Cultural changes were needed to address our long term business challenges and help was more than welcome to shape and initiate this journey. I’ve known Lionel for many years and, with what I consider to be his unusual and powerful approach, he has always exceeded my – high – expectations. Once again, his focus on collective intelligence and his ability to maneuver diverse teams in full confidence tremendously helped us align on shared ideas and actions. His work on collective dynamics were key for both business results and team enthusiasm.​

We experienced Lionel’s outstanding facilitation skills to shape our strategic thrusts, grow the ExCom team dynamics and shape our values with the extended LT. The results have exceeded our expectations in content and level of buy-in. A great and flexible partner with mastery on topics that ally business matters with human dynamics.

As a young company in biotech, Dynacure has a small core team in constant evolution and under pressure to perform. Since 2017, Lionel has regularly supported us in several ways: build stronger team efficiency with a higher quality of conversation and unite the management team behind a common goal. He definitely incarnates “hearts, minds and hands in business”. ​

Elia has undertaken a deep culture change including a revised leadership model. From our collaboration on both topics, I consider CultureWorks and Lionel as trusted activators of change. Bringing strategic insights and structure in part of our implementation, they have helped us to think through meaningful initiatives at top level and in the organization, in an open and challenging style. ​
