About us
J’aide les organisations à faire évoluer leurs systèmes de travail afin d’améliorer durablement leur capacité d’exécution.
L’histoire d’une conviction
Consultant TI professionnel en gestion de projets, Praticien Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Professionnel en gestion Kanban, Coach Professionnel en Agilité, j’optimise votre performance organisationnelle en accélérant votre livraison de valeur.
Je crois que les organisations obtiennent rarement de meilleurs résultats en demandant à leurs équipes de travailler davantage.
Je crois que les organisations performent durablement lorsque leurs talents, leurs systèmes de travail et leurs technologies évoluent de façon cohérente.
Cette conviction ne vient pas d’un livre.
Elle est le résultat de plus de vingt années passées à œuvrer au sein d’organisations de toutes tailles, dans des secteurs variés. Malgré des défis bien différents, j’y retrouve encore aujourd’hui des causes profondes qui se ressemblent souvent.
Dès mes premières expériences professionnelles, bien avant de connaître la signification du mot « Lean », j’ai évolué dans un environnement où l’efficacité opérationnelle, la performance, la qualité, la standardisation et l’amélioration continue faisaient naturellement partie du travail quotidien. Lorsque j’ai découvert le Lean quelques années plus tard, j’ai réalisé que plusieurs des principes qui le définissent faisaient déjà partie de ma façon de travailler.
Mon parcours s’est ensuite poursuivi en technologies de l’information, d’abord dans le secteur manufacturier, puis au sein d’organisations évoluant dans des industries aussi variées que le développement logiciel, le commerce électronique, l’assurance, le secteur financier, l’administration publique et le secteur pharmaceutique. Au fil des années, j’ai eu l’occasion de contribuer à des initiatives de transformation d’envergure, allant de l’implantation de solutions technologiques critiques à la modernisation d’applications, à l’évolution des infrastructures et à l’optimisation des systèmes de travail.
C’est également au contact de nombreuses équipes de développement logiciel que j’ai découvert l’Agilité. Au-delà des cadres de travail, ce sont surtout ses valeurs, ses principes et sa façon de placer les personnes, la collaboration et l’adaptation au cœur des transformations qui ont profondément influencé ma pratique de la gestion de projet.
Au fil de mon parcours au sein d’organisations de toutes tailles et d’industries variées, j’ai souvent constaté que les défis changeaient… mais que plusieurs organisations se heurtaient étonnamment aux mêmes difficultés. Les symptômes étaient différents, mais les causes revenaient souvent sous d’autres formes.
C’est cette récurrence qui a progressivement éveillé ma curiosité. Pourquoi des organisations aussi différentes rencontraient-elles si souvent les mêmes obstacles à la performance ?
Aujourd’hui, je suis convaincu que les organisations obtiennent leurs meilleurs résultats lorsque leurs talents, leurs systèmes de travail et leurs technologies évoluent de façon cohérente.
Cette conviction est aujourd’hui, au cœur d’ÉLAN – Experts.
J’accompagne les organisations qui souhaitent mieux aligner leur stratégie à l’exécution, optimiser leurs systèmes de travail, améliorer durablement leur performance organisationnelle et développer les capacités qui soutiendront leur croissance, leurs transformations et la création de valeur.
Ma façon d'intervenir
Je crois qu’il n’existe pas de solution universelle.
Avant de recommander une solution,
je cherche d’abord à comprendre le fonctionnement actuel de l’organisation, ses systèmes de travail, les problèmes à résoudre ou les gains recherchés, les contraintes qui limitent sa performance ainsi que les capacités qui auront le plus d’impact sur son évolution.
Je crois en une amélioration continue, progressive, guidée et durable. Les meilleures transformations ne reposent pas sur une succession d’initiatives isolées, mais sur une démarche qui permet à l’organisation d’apprendre, de s’adapter et d’évoluer au fil du temps.
Les approches, les méthodes, les outils et les technologies ne sont jamais une fin en soi. Ils sont des leviers au service d’un objectif plus important : mieux aligner la stratégie à l’exécution, améliorer durablement la performance organisationnelle et créer davantage de valeur.
Chaque intervention est différente, mais cette philosophie demeure la même : comprendre avant d’agir, faire évoluer plutôt que bouleverser, et contribuer à laisser une organisation plus forte qu’à mon arrivée.
Optimize before automate.
Learn Early. Improve Continuously.
Ma contribution
Ma mission est de contribuer au développement d’organisations plus performantes et d’aider les professionnels à développer les compétences qui leur permettront d’avoir un impact durable sur celles-ci.
J’accompagne les organisations dans leurs initiatives de transformation afin d’améliorer leur capacité d’exécution, de développer leurs capacités organisationnelles et de créer davantage de valeur.
En parallèle, je souhaite contribuer au développement de la prochaine génération de gestionnaires de projet, de leaders et d’agents de changement par le coaching, le mentorat, la formation et le partage d’expériences concrètes du terrain.
Je crois que lorsque les organisations évoluent et que les personnes qui les composent évoluent elles aussi, les transformations deviennent plus durables, plus humaines et plus porteuses de valeur.

Frequently asked questions (F.A.Q.)
A major digital transformation project is a strategic initiative that stems from needs or opportunities identified, assessed and prioritized as part of an organization's strategic planning. These initiatives are generally managed within a well-structured program or portfolio of projects (Lean).
The main objectives of a digital transformation project (IT Project) include :
- Optimize the supply chain for greater efficiency and predictability.
- Reduce operating costs while increasing stability and added value.
- Increase revenues and customer loyalty through innovative digital solutions.
Examples of digital transformation projects (IT Project):
- Custom or "off-the-shelf" software development (product/platform) off the shelf"(SaaS, PaaS).
- Product modernization, such as adding artificial intelligence or data science to existing platforms.
- Integration or implementation of business solutions to improve operations. (e.g. CMMS, CRM, ERP, etc.).
These projects require strong leadership and professional project management skills to ensure frequent and continuous delivery of value. Your teams can be coached to maximize their performance and achieve your strategic objectives.
Every IT project is unique, but they often share common challenges: defining a clear vision, mobilizing the right resources, managing risks and ensuring that the expected value is actually delivered.
With my end-to-end integrated services, I'm with you every step of the way:
- Definition of needs and priorities: development of business cases, mapping of use cases, and strategic alignment of your projects.

An artificial intelligence (AI) project is an initiative to develop systems capable of simulating human intellectual processes, such as natural language comprehension, image recognition, autonomous decision-making, and much more. These projects are often complex and involve several key stages, from the identification of business needs to the implementation and maintenance of the AI system.
A typical AI project includes :
Identifying use cases Identify areas where AI can bring value (e.g. process automation, trend prediction, resource optimization).
Data collection and preparation AI relies on quality data to train effective models. Data collection and management are therefore crucial steps.
Choice of technology AI: AI projects involve advanced technologies such as machine learning, neural networks and rule-based artificial intelligence.
Model development and training An AI algorithm is designed and fine-tuned to learn from data and perform specific tasks.
Production and maintenance Once the model has been developed, it is integrated into existing systems and requires regular monitoring and updating to ensure long-term performance.
AI projects often require hybrid project management (waterfall vs. agile) due to their complexity and rapid evolution. Support from project management experts helps to better structure the process and mitigate associated risks, guaranteeing results aligned with the organization's strategic objectives.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data science projects are often complex and require a different approach to traditional projects. These projects involve unique challenges such as the balance between waterfall and agile project management methods, the development-prioritization and selection of use cases, the aspect of data management, technological alignment, etc.
