Talk Lean — with Simplicity and Authenticity — and Gain Productivity NEW IN ENGLISH

In any organisation, meetings and conversations, both internal and external, are the lifeblood through which things are made to happen and relationships are established and nurtured. And yet most of these meetings and conversations are significantly polluted by all that is left unsaid, by circumlocutions, hints, allusions, oblique references, by a fear that saying what we really think, asking for what we really want or expressing how we really feel will come over as “too direct”. And to further reduce productivity, a lot of what IS said remains unheard. These failures have a critical but often unrecognised cost in terms of both results and relationships.

Start to unlock your own productivity and that of your teams in this workshop version of the “Interactifs/Talk Lean” course which is taught in blue-chip companies around the world (Accenture, Capgemini, EY, Peugeot-Citroen, Renault etc.) and which since 2018 has been offered as an elective course on the MBA programme at INSEAD.

You will learn how systematically to marry candour with courtesy, to be straight-to-the-point whilst always remaining polite, so that meetings and conversations generate more results, more mutual respect (and more self-respect) – and all of these more rapidly achieved.

The workshop will be run by Clement Toulemonde, International Director at Interactifs. Clement is French-Australian, bi-lingual and bi-cultural, and has been running Interactifs courses for 10 years, in France, across Europe, and in the US, China, Japan and South Africa – as well as at INSEAD (where on his most recent elective, the MBA students gave him an average grade of 4.8/5.0.)
