OUR AMBITION: TO REINVENT THE TRADITIONAL CONSULTING MODEL AND CREATE THE EUROPEAN LEADER IN BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
This tie-up, desired by both founding chairmen and unanimously approved by weave’s partners, is above all an entrepreneurial project based on a shared vision and a common goal: to reinvent traditional consulting models and create a European leader in business and digital transformation for companies and public organizations. Its ambition: crossing the one-billion euros turnover milestone within 5 years.
100% of weave partners have opted to reinvest and become shareholders of onepoint. Over the next two years, all of the group’s employees will have the opportunity to subscribe to the company’s capital, with anoverall target ownership of up to 15%.
SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS IN THEIR MULTIDIMENSIONAL TRANSFORMATIONS
In an increasingly complex environment, business and public sector executives are undertaking a multidimensional transformation. The resulting service imperative combines a variety of expertise pillars, derived from operational uses, in order to achieve tangible value.
This transformation relies on human, business as well as technological levers. « We are convinced that business executives will gradually become “citizen data scientists” and that combining business knowledge with artificial intelligence will make it possible to generate breakthrough innovations. With this tie-up, we will be able to bring forward new consulting models, based on a “maker” approach, that materializes strategic recommendations by mobilizing all business competencies» – explains Didier Rousseau, Founding Chairman of weave.
« Onepoint and weave have the same intuition: only a holistic vision combining the approaches of experts from all fields constitutes an appropriate response to the transformation challenges of companies and public players. They now expect their transformation partner to be able to understand their business challenges, create new business models and operate both technology and the solution», confirms David Layani, Founding Chairman of onepoint.
Both companies’ organizational model and culture have a lot in common. Liberated companies (“entreprises ouvertes”), they advocate an open innovation approach leveraging a dense startup-ecosystem, and corporate values defined by authenticity, benevolence, commitment and expertise enhancement.
“There is a perfect alignment; we will quickly emerge as a player of a new type, mixing business consulting, design thinking, data and technology”, said David Layani.
« NiXEN is proud to have supported weave over the past four years and to have enabled the tie-up that made the most sense from an industrial point of view, particularly in terms of value creation », said Jean-Paul Bernardini and Vincent Houlot, associates at NiXEN Partners.
«It is highly enthusing for us to participate in a collective that so strongly embodies innovation in its own organization and in the service of its clients, while at the same time sticking to a genuine philosophy of people and expertise centricity» explained Olivier Reisse and Alexandre Meyer, founders of respectively the Technology Consulting and Banking & Insurance activities at weave.
