Because Pentacle’s worth it ...

L’Oreal recently ‘adopted’ Christophe Gillet in their “Global leadership for growth” programme, designed and delivered by Cedep, in order to help project managing & facilitating one of their most sophisticated and  successful learning event. 

When HSBC France thinks about innovation ...

Paris. The world’s local bank is definitely a leader in NewWorldTM thinking. In an industry that is supposed to be extremely regulated, most banks give up trying to really innovate. Leaders like HSBC, on the contrary, consider this situation as a real opportunity to differentiate. Senior leaders from France gathered in Paris for a one day workshop led by Christophe Gillet. Keywords: Thinking differently, opening minds, grabbing opportunities, changing perspective, designing for change, and indeed innovating for value. When leaders get serious about innovation and change, it seems that they naturally find their way to Pentacle. Long life to innovation at HSBC France!

Janssen Cilag, top pharmaceutical leader, go for change with Pentacle & Gillet ...

Dusseldorf. When it comes to real change, people must come first. No way to change processes, organisations, methods, if people are not engaged and willing to support. At Janssen, this is well understood ... and put in practice, with Pentacle. The leading team was invited to a one day workshop that was organised around the idea of ‘stop rushing / start thinking differently’, in other words: creating a privileged moment of new thinking, new perspective building. Go slow in order to go fast was a key motto. Needless to rush more and more. There’s always a limit. Rather think differently about problems, use of time, delegation, and work/life balance. The “rat race” is over, the NewWorldTM has come ... with Pentacle


TOTALy Senior, with Pentacle

Paris. What do a worldbank VP, a worldclass pianist, a world famous philosopher/ethnologist and the expert coach of a french minister have in common? The largest French petrol company chooses Pentacle to design and deliver their senior execs development programme, twice a year, both in French and English languages. A unique team of international speakers and tutors joined Christophe to deliver a ‘serious but non-orthodoxical’ programme designed to surprise and develop even the most experienced senior leaders ... Energy and new thinking in action! A Pentacle programme.

When HSBC Asia think “Strategic Agility”, Pentacle is not too far away ...

HongKong. The world’s local bank is definitely a leader in NewWorldTM thinking. In an industry that is supposed to be extremely regulated, most banks give up trying to really innovate. Leaders like HSBC, on the contrary, consider this situation as a real opportunity to differentiate. 40 senior leaders from Asia-Pacific gathered in HongKong for a 3 day workshop led by Christophe Gillet and Graham Wilson, articulated around the concept of ‘strategic agility’. Keywords: Thinking differently, opening minds, grabbing opportunities, changing perspective, designing for change, and indeed innovating for value. When leaders get serious about innovation and change, it seems that they naturally find their way to Pentacle. Long life to innovation at HSBC!
