‍Developingthe productivity of managers and leaders

In this frantic race for productivity, the development of managers and leaders has become an imperative for companies seeking to maintain their competitiveness in a constantly changing environment. And the most innovative companies have understood this: developing the skills of talented people has become a real competitive advantage.

As Corinne Fugier-Garrel, Innovation & R&D Accelerator, points out, this program aims to redirect a team of scientific experts towards the specific needs of customers. The main objective? To disseminate an innovation mindset by encouraging participants to adopt a consumer's point of view. As a result, managers and leaders are better equipped to design solutions and products that respond effectively to market expectations, fostering increased productivity and sustainable company growth.
