Organizational Consulting: Collective Dynamics and Decision-making with an Impact
Co-designing, facilitating and managing collaborative experiences
for your teams to impact their performance, their well-being and their stakeholders
A range of complementary action-oriented methods
A variety of collaborative practices
We base our approach on solid collective intelligence processes, to mobilise teams of all sizes and bring out solutions that are tailored, robust and inspiring.
Appreciativeness & Positive Psychology
Appreciative approaches extend observation and reflection to the talents, achievements and assets of individuals and organizations. They link problem solving to an inspiring and motivating vision or goal.
Systemic approach
The organization or team is approached as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. It is the relationships between the elements and the combination of their individual properties that open up surprising global solutions.
Learning organizations
The articulation of individual and collective effort focuses on problem solving through: a clear and shared vision, a structure at the service of interrelations, and the maintenance of permanent exchange mechanisms.
Design thinking
The posture and principles of Design Thinking complement collaborative practices by focusing on the human element, curiosity, a taste for action and the ability to reformulate questions to find better solutions.

My co-design method
reflects the desired objectives
Building your project together
I combine the best of both worlds: my skills in collaborative practices and your knowledge of your business and corporate culture. In this way we can put collective intelligence into practice from our first meeting.
Demonstrating listening skills in the field
On my own or with my partners, I conduct individual and confidential interviews with the members of the co-design team and their leaders in order to prepare the programme and feed the teams’ reflection during the workshops and forums.
Promoting participation and ownership
I alternate working sessions in sub-groups with plenary sessions for decision making in order to maintain an effective and sustainable assimilation dynamic within the group.
Relying on concrete deliverables
At the end of my missions, I provide you with several documents (synthesis of the interviews, synthesis of the productions, tools to build the momentum, etc.) on which you can base your actions.

A track record of trust
Anne Sherwood, THALES, VP Learning, Culture and D&I
Lorraine’s work with my multicultural leadership team enabled us to open up a dialogue and put in place simple, pragmatic methods for an improved way of working. She found the right balance between listening and advising. Her advice on systemic approaches is based on research as well as experience. She demonstrated real expertise and was perceived as legitimate and credible by my team. I have no hesitation in continuing to recommend Lorraine. Her work is serious, the follow-up irreproachable and the results tangible.
Antonio Sturiale, THALES ALENIA SPACE, Director, Telecommunication Domain Italy
The experience with Lorraine fully met my expectations.
We had the opportunity to build together a clear message about the vision and how each team member or staff member contributes to the success of the Group. We encouraged the entrepreneurial mindset and with her contribution, we delivered awareness and tools to promote creative thinking with a focus on innovation.
We succeeded to create all of this within a good business perspective and this is, in my view, the main advantage of this experience: Lorraine was able to listen the different needs carefully and to integrate the sometimes-too-structured engineering environment with a smooth and creative approach.
Frédéric Cougnaud, THALES ALENIA SPACE, VP Senior Program Manager
Meeting a major challenge requires the manager to get the team on board to achieve the goal. The work done with Lorraine Margherita has enabled me to evolve personally, to find the right tone to get my team on board, but above all to ensure that our management committee truly works as a team, that each of us participates more in the global than the local success. In the end, the objective considered impossible by some was achieved.
Hélène Abraham, HOP! AIR FRANCE, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing
While we had a challenge to move the lines in a very multicultural (French) organization, Lorraine’s support was decisive in its efficiency and accuracy. She was able to skilfully show a path where everyone recognised themselves and came out growing and motivated to build the next part of our history.
Philippe Goetz, ICARE, General Manager (Hop's training center)
I had the pleasure of working with Lorraine a few years ago on an empowerment project for Hop – Air France.
Contact was maintained through our common interest in improving the functioning of organizations through collective intelligence.
In 2022, I therefore asked Lorraine, as part of the rebirth of ICARE, to assist the management team in developing the values and raison d’être of the training centre.
Another great experience, unanimously recognized by all participants.
