In a world where constant acceleration puts teams under pressure, AIGA made a bold decision: to hit pause, so they could press play with more intention.
Not a symbolic pause, but a real strategic step back designed to restore meaning, revisit everyday practices, and reignite both managerial and technological innovation.
Supported by ACT4 TALENTS, AIGA’s leadership team committed to a deep, demanding and profoundly human journey that unfolded over several months.
An active pause to create space for reflection
Rather than starting with a traditional seminar, the process began with a series of one-to-one interviews with each manager and director. A rare moment. No slides. No filters. No roles to perform.
Just space to step back, speak openly, and reflect in a way most organizations rarely make time for, even though they need it more than ever.
These conversations helped to:
clarify what is truly working,
put words on what feels stuck,
identify what needs to change, and what the organization must dare to transform.
Three days to redesign culture and innovation
This introspective work continued with three days of active reflection, focused on transforming both managerial culture and technology practices.
Alongside Jean-Philippe Meunier (President), Mégane Michaut and Charlotte Neuville (HR), the teams worked on three core dynamics:
1. Share and understand
Identify strengths, friction points and blind spots. Start from real life, not from intentions.
2. Make it actionable
Turn perceptions into levers for action: new rituals, clearer roles, truly useful indicators, and collaboration methods that fit the reality of the work.
3. Prototype and test
Experiment with new ways of working where:
trust becomes a tangible framework,
AI supports real work instead of distracting from it,
trial and error becomes a learning engine.
A demanding and courageous collective dynamic
None of this would have been possible without strong commitment from each participant: speaking honestly, trying things, measuring what happens, and adjusting along the way.
That ability to tell the truth, to test without overprotecting, and to learn through experience is what makes AIGA strong today.
Step by step, the company is moving forward with clarity and coherence, while strengthening a management culture that supports growth, quality and innovation.
