White Paper

Local authorities and the performance imperative

Assumer la recherche de performance, dans une optique apaisée et une dimension durable. Le mot « performance » suscite un malaise persistant dans les collectivités territoriales. Tantôt renvoyé au registre du privé, tantôt assumé avec réticence ou avec un parfum de défi, il cristallise de profondes ambivalences. On lui reproche son caractère unidimensionnel lorsqu’il se limite au financier, ses effets délétères quand il fragilise la robustesse des systèmes (comme le souligne Olivier Hamant), ou son inadéquation supposée aux valeurs du service public.

Study

Kairn Strategy study - Defense and investment funds

The urgent need to rearm Europe and France implies a major financing requirement for defense contractors. At a time when the sovereignty of France and Europe needs to be revitalized, every link in the value chain has a role to play in ensuring the ramp-up required by the geopolitical situation. Since 2022, there has been an increasing number of announcements concerning the ramp-up of major prime contractors, but the strategic SMEs and ETIs that make up their supply chain are struggling to keep pace, notably due to a lack of resources to invest in their production capacities.

Study

Viewpoints

Food for thought: the unbearable certainty of growth?

The current period calls for particular attention to be paid to growth and its sustainability. Can it be sustainable? And if so, under what conditions? Several approaches coexist: necessary but sustainable growth (Le Biez, 2021), the risks of stagnation if growth is abandoned (Summers, 2014) and even degrowth (Parrique, 2024).

Study

Corporate memory, a strategic resource for organizations

Eurogroup Consulting supports the new study by the Institut Choiseul and the Observatoire B2V des Mémoires entitled "La mémoire des entreprises, une ressource stratégique au service de la performance et de la transformation des organisations". This study explores all aspects of corporate memory, and proposes actions that can be rapidly implemented, based on two priorities: raising awareness among decision-makers of its impact on performance and transmission; and structuring its management through innovative methods and processes. Too often confined to a historical or patrimonial role, corporate memory is nevertheless a powerful strategic lever.
