Our Methodology
From the real objective to a global recommendation
A structured process, prior to the detailed analysis of the decision
As our mission is to strengthen the quality of decisions made by the management team of our client companies through an integrated approach to legal, organizational, compliance, and strategic considerations, our methodology is based on identifying the key elements that provide the foundation for each assignment, namely:
The process, step by step
DECISION REVIEW
A specific decision : Assess whether a contemplated transaction or decision is sufficiently secured for implementation
DECISION SUPPORT
A decision from design to implementation : Support the executive throughout the construction, structuring and implementation of the decision.
GOVERNANCE & RISK FRAMEWORK
The company’s decision-making system : Build an internal framework for governance, decision-making and risk management
ONGOING ADVISORY
A continuous relationship : Provide ongoing support to the executive on significant decisions and evolving business risks
CONFLICT PREVENTION & LITIGATION
When prevention is no longer enough : Prevent, manage and resolve conflicts, and defend the company before administrative authorities and competent courts when necessary
Analysis framework
Five dimensions examined simultaneously
Each axis offers a distinct reading of the same decision
Legal
Ensure that the decision is legally sound and secure.
- Is the decision legally valid?
- Do the relevant powers and authorizations exist?
- Are any specific approvals or authorizations required?
Compliance
Determine whether regulatory requirements or internal company procedures apply.
- In relation to the company’s business activities
- In relation to the functioning of the company’s internal governing bodies
- Requirements tied to the activity
Organisation
Assess whether the expected or foreseeable effects of the decision are compatible with the company’s current organizational structure.
- Who is responsible for what?
- Are responsibilities appropriately allocated?
- Is the organization equipped to implement the decision effectively?
Governance
Assess whether the decision strengthens or weakens the governance of the organization as a whole.
- Are information flows properly maintained and observed?
- Does the decision comply with the company’s internal rules and governance framework?
- Do the decision and the process followed to reach it comply with the legal requirements governing the powers and authority of the company’s governing bodies?
Strategy
Assess whether the decision is aligned with the company’s objectives.
- Does the decision contribute to achieving the company’s strategic objectives?
- Are there any contradictions or inconsistencies with the company’s overall strategy?
- Overall coherence
Based on the results of this analytical framework, an assessment will be prepared for each dimension separately, leading to an overall recommendation that takes into account the conclusions drawn from the analysis of each individual dimension.
