FABRICE KAUFMAN

Senior Consultant / Project Manager

  • Consultant and trainer for more than 20 years, I have been practicing this profession in two areas: firstly, consulting in organization management and human resources management, and secondly, training in various fields related to managerial issues. As these are structuring principles of intervention, I make sure that my contributions are at the intersection of 3 approaches: a technical approach for a first part (Preventive management of jobs and skills, reorganization...), a change management approach for a second part (from the organization to the group, then from the group to the individual) and finally a pedagogical approach (Competency-Based Approach, aiming at transferring competencies and empowering the client). One can thus say that my specialty lies in organizational learning. Fabrice is lecturer at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of Montpellier and at the Institute for Training and Research in Health and Social Organizations.
