Q. Why the name Lavaux Global?
The name “Lavaux” is inspired by the picturesque Lavaux Valley in Switzerland, nestled between Lausanne and Montreux along the shores of Lake Geneva. Renowned for its vineyards, this region has been producing wine since Roman times. Our company’s name embodies the resilience and stunning beauty of the Lavaux region.
​
Q. In your opinion, what makes a company successful ?
​
Companies that are most successful master a culture that enables and connects:
​
-
Innovation with superior execution
-
High performance staff with effective team work
-
Asset orchestration with individual needs and values
It is in a way the interplay between technical fitness and evolutionary fitness.
Successful companies, purposely build a “tension mechanism” between creativity (essential to innovation) and discipline (essential to execution). This is not trivial at all but such mechanism inspires and motivates; it is forward looking but also delivers core value today. The trick is to get people highly aligned but loosely interconnected so you don’t stifle creativity.
Success is highly dependent on this tension mechanism standing the test of time.
Another avenue for success is to acquire high performance staff ahead of the “complexity” rate of growth. This ensures that you create a stimulating environment whereby a business can grow, perform and be agile in the same time.
Agility requires generative sensing and the ability to adapt and reconfigure when and where necessary; it is a dynamic capability that businesses may wish to nurture.
Of course none of this is possible without a culture based on strong values and principles that are enduring and guide organizational behaviour.
Q. Where from here ?
​
Einstein once said, “Imagination takes you everywhere.” Inspired by this, we envisioned a management consulting business that offers clients holistic advice. We address the whole picture, not just strategy, performance improvements, or organizational effectiveness.
​
We provide both advisory and consulting services, working at both the transformational level (strategy and mission, organizational culture, and leadership) and the transactional level (structure, management practices, systems, and work unit climate). Our approach seamlessly connects these levels in a harmonious way.
​
It is our promise of value.
