Workshops

The Management Fresco

Understand, build connection and transform management practices.

La Fresque du management is a collaborative, immersive workshop built around a game board and themed cards. In small groups, participants explore the links between employees’ needs, the organisation’s expectations, psychological drivers and management practices.

They question their certainties, identify their blind spots, measure the impact of their practices and bring out concrete courses of action. This format, lasting around three hours, is particularly suited to groups of managers, seminars and leadership programmes.
