In 2011, weave became the first consulting firm in France to be awarded EFQM certification, with the maximum recognition of R4E 5 stars. The assessment renewed in 2014 confirmed the previous level of performance, placing the firm among the best managerial practices in Europe.
For Jean-Victor Dalsace and Nicolas Thuilliez, facilitators of weave’s EFQM model, “the company has enjoyed continuous growth since its creation. In 2011, to support and structure this development, the company opted for the EFQM excellence model. (European Foundation for Quality Management), which is now a benchmark in Europe. We wanted a total quality approach that would take into account not only our employees and their know-how, but also our customers and partners.
The evaluators noted weave’s strong commitment to creativity and innovation. Can you give us some examples?
“Creativity and innovation are one of the EFQM concepts, and an important and necessary vector for weave’s development. In this sense, we have a “committed entrepreneur” approach. “Committed” because each employee benefits from personalized coaching, a training cycle and close management of each project. “Entrepreneurial” because we promote constructive impertinence, encouraging everyone to shake up the established order by breaking free from traditional thinking. We rely heavily on the personality and sensitivity of each of our employees, and their desire to propose and see things differently. In concrete terms, weave has a strong expertise in Design Thinking, a model that reconciles analytical and intuitive thinking in all our customers’ sectors”.
“This know-how enables us to offer different and innovative approaches. Innovation is also a way of doing consulting differently. Weave has joined forces with 3 other consultancies to create the first consultancy entirely dedicated to general interest structures and players in the solidarity economy.”
