For my part, having an attraction for the profession of strategy, in parallel with my projects, I contributed, for more than a year to a circle of reflection on the evolution of the profession and the function, led by 2 Senior Partners of Kea with about fifteen strategists from different companies. I was then able to develop my writing skills by participating in the writing of the resulting publication. I was able to get involved at every stage of this project.
You will have understood it, it is this alliance of the two concepts that I like at Kea : The " free spirited without excellence would not allow me to progress, and excellence without free spirited » to flourish !
Whether you want to create a subsidiary (why not !) or get involved in a project that is particularly close to your heart, Kea gives you the opportunity.
Internal initiatives are popular :

What seduced me ? It is the great place left to the woman (the man) that you are.
While preparing for my interviews at Kea, I came across the expression " free spirited excellence ".
At the time, other than finding it sounded good, I didn't really dwell on the idea. But, 3 years later, I realize to what extent these 3 words constitute the firm's DNA.
In " free spirited excellence ", there is first of all excellence
Choose from become a consultant is not insignificant, it is to do the choice of rigor and requirement. So of course you need certain predispositions, but the profession is acquired above all on a daily basis, on a project. It is this daily progress that takes us step by step, step by step, towards excellence.
At Kea, I really feel surrounded to progress: by my project supervision - which helps me to develop my skills as a consultant - by my institutional manager - who helps me to develop within Kea - and, at the end of each year, by my mirror - which challenges me on the past year and on my aspirations for the future.
To this learning in the field », are added moments of formation : 1 afternoon every month with the Keists of our team as well as one to two weeks during the summer. These moments are always great opportunities to stick your nose out of your projects and develop other abilities (spoken impact, self-knowledge, etc.).
In " free spirited excellence », then there is free-spirited
If I joined Kea, it's not only because I chose to practice strategy consulting, but also and above all, because I found myself in the way Kea exercises it.
The desire not to lock oneself in a mold :
Like our clothes or our premises, our slides are not black and white ! I discovered at Kea that you can work seriously without taking yourself too seriously. Who would have told me that I would prepare the content for a seminar of 200 people using visuals of hobbits and rugby players ?
