OUR S.H.A.R.P.® MODEL

Cognitive-behavioral change engineering

Our protocol S.H.A.R.P.© transposes the 5 necessary conditions of change to the development of individual and collective behavioral skills.
Objective: to make behavioral change measurable and sustainable.

SCAN

Explain why a change in behavior is necessary. We decode real activity to highlight how current behaviors produce limiting effects in the face of change and uncertainty. By placing the diagnosis at the heart of the workplace, we transform an intention to change into a logical and shared necessity.

HOOK

Validate the real desire to engage in change. We help talent identify the concrete gap between their current behavioral patterns and the intended purpose. By securing the alignment between the objectives of the organization and the profound motivations of the individual (self-concordance), we transform superficial adherence into a sincere and lasting commitment.

ACTIVATE

Identify and prioritize behavioral levers for change. We allow employees to clearly identify the behavioral dimensions to prioritize in their individual or collective transformation plan. By translating strategic goals into concrete and usable actions, we provide the method needed to know exactly what to do differently in a work situation.

REWIRE

Give the power to act in a real situation. We offer employees concrete levers to implement new behavioral patterns in their daily professional lives. By removing cognitive barriers and systemic blockages, we transform know-how into a capacity for immediate action.

PROVE

Anchor new automations and avoid a return to old habits. We set up feedback loops and progress indicators to secure the transfer of skills over time.
