Evolve with Kea
5 stages that will define your career
Julie, Recruitment, Employer Brand and Performance Manager
In Kea, a consultant's potential can be expressed in 3 dimensions
Like many of our colleagues, we strive for EXCELLENCE, but we add to the traditional playground of a strategy and management consultant the art of responsible transformation. To this end, we are gradually training our consultants to be as comfortable with analytics as they are with taking emotions into account, i.e. to reconcile strategic approaches and everything related to corporate culture, and to constantly innovate in their approaches.
We encourage CRITICISM AND PROPOSAL: we challenge our consultants to form convictions on the issues of their choice and to express them loudly and clearly. We expect them to engage with our clients, to share their concerns and to challenge them in their decisions and actions.
We cultivate A STYLE FIT FOR OUR NATURE AND SINGULARITY: no arrogance, empathy, humility and a strong ambition to put our clients first. Our consultants have the ability to be quickly and successfully welcomed into client teams, and are respected for their impact and ability to interact with both the C-suite and the operational staff who are at the heart of a company's transformation. .

Internally, each Keist is also given the opportunity, from the beginning of its journey at Kéa, to invest in developing or contributing to the themes that inspire them.
Staffing and mentoring form the cornerstone of learning the profession and your professional choices.
As a consultant, your successive assignments of consultants to projects are managed by a dedicated committee made up of managers (all Directors and Senior Partners) of the various Membership Units to which the consultants are assigned. Their task is to find the right balance between applying the skills you have already acquired and learning new facets of our profession.
During the first couple of years, we want to introduce you to the diversity of our profession, both in terms of industries and topics. This will make it easier for you to choose your first direction when you join Senior Consultant.
Over the course of your projects, you will learn and progress in our industry by working alongside more experienced consultants. You will progress quickly, gaining autonomy while respecting your own pace of development through learning by example, working together, and alternating between comfort zones and areas of imbalance. Each project manager will play the role of "master companion" with you for the duration of the assignment and beyond, if you wish.
