ABOUT THE CLIENT
THE CONTEXT
- The client strategy definition mission follows on from the results of a previous mission in 2019, the aim of which was to carry out an analysis of the client experience and take stock of the current situation. This then served as a basis for the future approach that the institute could adopt. In parallel to this project, the institute’s internal structure and in particular strategic alignment within its top management was analysed
- Strategic alignment workshops were organised to finalise the formulation of the Institute’s strategy.
