Marrying your enemy - Pavillon Ledoyen (Paris) avec Didier Lepitre

EADS Secure Networks est une entité de la division défense et sécurité d’EADS.
EADS Secure Networks est l'un des principaux fournisseurs mondiaux de systèmes de radiocommunications mobiles professionnels (PMR). Elle propose aux organisations professionnelles, des forces de l'ordre aux sociétés de services, un degré de confiance à l’égard de leurs systèmes de communication sécurisés, grâce à des solutions globales de réseaux, de terminaux, d'intégration et de services. Le marché de PMR a vu pendant plusieurs années une bataille importante entre les deux principales technologies disponibles sur le marché : la technologie Tetra, proposée en particulier par Motorola et Nokia, et Tetrapol développée par EADS. En 2006 Nokia a décidé de se séparer de ses activités PMR et les a vendu à EADS Secure Networks. Les 300 collaborateurs Nokia ont été intégrés aux 1000 employés de EADS Networks.
Didier Lepitre est directeur de l’établissement parisien de la division défense et sécurité d’EADS. Pendant le projet avec ICM, il a occupé le poste de Directeur de l’Intégration en sein de EADS Secure Networks. April 25th wednesday, 2007 Paris

Web conference : Définir un Profil de Leadership pour bâtir une culture de performance

Les entreprises multinationales font face au même défi: «Comment constituer, autour du monde, un groupe homogène de "leaders", de cadres dirigeants, tous porteurs d'une culture d'entreprise partagée, composé d'individus d'origines variées, mais mobiles et à même de travailler efficacement au-delà des barrières culturelles ? ».
C'est en effet à ce groupe en particulier que revient de bâtir et exécuter la stratégie globale et de l'adapter localement ; il doit aussi mettre en œuvre une organisation souvent complexe.
Ce groupe de leaders porte également la responsabilité de préparer la relève et de développer les collaborateurs qui seront les dirigeants du futur.
Ainsi se crée une culture de performance à la fois forte et respectueuse de la diversité.
Au cours de cette web conférence, Charles Gancel partagera l’approche qu’ICM Associates utilise en s’appuyant sur des exemples réussis avec plusieurs de ses clients. Cette conférence interactive sera d’une durée de 20 minutes environ suivie de questions/réponses. April 12th Thursday, 2007 Paris
