WHY DO LEADERS USE EPSA Transfo & Digital ?

As soon as they are actively seeking to increase their profitability,” explains Régis Marique, Director of the “Organizational Efficiency” branch of EPSA Transfo & Digital.

More specifically, these can be fast-growing groups that want to consolidate their leadership position in their market, developing companies whose management team is aware of the existence of possible productivity gains or companies whose profitability has, for one reason or another, deteriorated.

The EPSA method

AVOID RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

In order to increase team productivity, EPSA Transfo & Digital relies on dual expertise in team organization and people support: it is about overcoming or – better – avoiding resistance to change.

For this purpose, EPSA Transfo & Digital is developing a proven methodology of several sequences. It all starts with a pre-study in the form of an audit, which validates the existence of potential sources of productivity and can, in very rare cases, lead to a negative response from EPSA’s experts.
This possibility is however exceptional, observes Régis Marique. Most often, we identify important sources of earnings due to multiple factors such as a lack of communication or training, an unfair distribution of resources … ”

These are all dysfunctions that EPSA Transfo & Digital will point out through a diagnosis, followed by a proposed methodology. Then comes the deployment phase of the project. It begins with organizational design work (carried out in two to four months, hand in hand with the client) and continues with the implementation of the plan (in 6 to 8 weeks), which cannot be carried out without change support work in order to make the new organization sustainable.

Thus, the company is empowered and will pursue its productivity gains well beyond our intervention,” explains Régis Marique.

A COMMITMENT TO EFFICIENCY

But where does EPSA Transfo & Digital go to look for such productivity gains?

Most of the time, it is about making better use of existing forces,” was Régis Marique’s answer. In rare cases, the solution involves reducing the workforce (internally or with service providers) or combining the two levers.

Productivity gains which are extremely significant: on average, for 1,21 $ invested, the company records a gain of 5,44 $ per year. From the first year, this gain can be two or three times higher in some organizations. In addition to this, EPSA Transfo & Digital is committed to tangible results.
Its fixed-rate remuneration is accompanied by a result commitment: 50% of EPSA’s fees are only invoiced if the promised results are actually achieved.
