How We Work

SIX CORE WORK PRINCIPLES EXPLAIN OUR SUCCESS IN SYSTEMATICALLY MEETING OUR CLIENTS’ OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS

  • PASSION
    in everything we do

We are highly committed to our clients, and take on their business challenges as our own.

  • CARE
    for the client’s organization
    and people

We exercice a profound respect for all the individuals in the client organization. We believe that success depends on people, and that by motivationg people to change the way they think/work together, the goals of their organization can be met.

  • DEVELOP PRACTICAL CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

We are results oriented from day one on the job. We believe that solutions are only as good as the ability of clients to implement them.

  • DEVELOP OUR CLIENTS' COMPETENCE & EXPERTISE

We care to develop our clients' ability to implement successful change within their organization by ensuring they are fully involved in solution design and are well trained and coached on all solutions developed.

  • MAINTAIN LONG TERM RELATIONS WITH CLIENTS

We aim to accompany our clients in their journey and see our solutions through implementation.

  • INVOLVE SENIOR PROFESSIONALS

We involve our senior professionals in each project until completion, and not only during the contract establishment phase.

FROM DAY ONE ON THE JOB, CDS’ OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE BY FOCUSING ON IMPLEMENTATION

    • Developing the best implementable solutions: while we constantly maintain a global perspective and are inspired by best practices, we also know that the best solution is a solution that can be realistically implemented within a reasonable time frame. This is why we carefully evaluate and take into consideration our clients’ local conditions and specific internal capabilities.
    • Helping client teams embrace change: CDS exercises a profound and genuine respect for all the individuals in the client organization. We firmly believe that human resources represent a vital asset for any organization and that business objectives can only be reached when the interests of the organization and those of its people are aligned. We are therefore well aware that there can be no business transformation without people transformation. As a consequence, we know that cultural change often represents a major challenge that needs to be addressed. CDS makes use of its extensive expertise in the management of complex change programs to identify the root causes of resistance to change so that they are properly identified and overcome.
    • Using a holistic and collaborative change management approach: CDS teams are heavily involved in all steps of the change effort, and CDS senior professionals remain involved at all stages of a project, not only during the design, but also throughout implementation during which CDS works in close collaboration with client teams to ensure that:
      • Any assessment is factual, recognized, accepted, and shared internally
      • Where and as needed, internal awareness is raised concerning the need to change
      • Client teams understand and take ownership and paternity of all solutions developed
