OUR CONCEPT OF ADVICE
Our consultants reflect our uniqueness

Helping leaders transform their business is our core business
We set up Kea to practice our strategy and management consulting business independently, as we like to do, with a strong ethic and a fresh look at corporate transformation.
Transformation is our specialty: dealing with high-stakes, strategic issues - so far, you might think, nothing very different from other strategy and management consultancies! - while paying particular attention to the human dimension - that's where our uniqueness begins... It's not just a question of rethinking strategy, structures, organization, processes and systems, but at the same time, profoundly altering the professional behavior of company players at all levels.
What is the added value and the role of a transforming consultant ?
It knows how to combine strategy and culture, the technical and the human, the design and setting in motion, the meaning given to the action and the action itself, the "what" with the "how". On a daily basis, it is present with the client, close to the teams, to understand their history, their culture, their ways of doing things and work with them, in co-creation to find the most appropriate solutions and inject the energy that will allow to ensure its success.
What is the profile of a transforming consultant ?
We recruit graduates of top-ranking management and engineering schools, who possess the fundamental qualities required of any strategy and management consultant:
-
Open-minded, inquisitive personality, passionate about diversity, challenge, permanent discovery and exploring new horizons
-
Proven capacity for analysis, synthesis, rigor, structuring
-
Power of reasoning and hard work
-
Strong impact and conviction
-
Ability to conceptualize
-
Fluency in English and in a 3rd language if possible
-
Geographical mobility in France and abroad (with us, driving license required !)
But, to become a transforming consultant, other distinctive skills are essential:
-
Natural empathy, strong ability to communicate, to adapt to all levels of interlocutors, build strong relationships, genuine taste for people;
-
Creativity and ability to think outside the box
-
Willingness to take initiatives and be enterprising;
-
Enthusiasm and leadership, while remaining humble, moderate, available, simple, attentive;
-
Desire to forge one's own convictions, to develop them, to defend them
-
Constant desire to challenge oneself, to progress and to help others progress;
-
International or bicultural profile, subject to a very good level of oral and written French.
So, you think you have got what it takes to be a future Keist?
