ABOUT THE CLIENT

The agency’s mission concentrates primarily on its mandate to promote innovation. It encourages and supports companies to innovate and progress, while also facilitating their collaboration with public research actors.

The agency also ensures that Luxembourg continues to attract international investment, as well as companies and skills that are perfectly suited to the country.

THE CONTEXT

Following a government decision to promote digital themes and national representation on the basis of a “Nation Branding” strategy, the agency has decided to redefine its Marketing and Communication department. It also wishes to improve team cohesion and work on the alignment of its future ambition to fulfil its mission of supporting the government’s economic development objectives.

THE PROJECT OUTCOME

  • Based on agreement among stakeholders on the issues which they would focus on over the next 5 years
  • Identification of the different potential obstacles and the resources they have at their disposal to achieve these goals 
  • By agreeing on the institute’s strategic direction, which is now clear to all the stakeholders, as well as their clients
  • By identifying the different potential obstacles and resources available to them to achieve their goals
  • During the breakfast event, the participants were able to get to know themselves and their colleagues in a different light and were thus able to appreciate some new common interests.
  • The participants decided spontaneously to organise another team building event, as they enjoyed the experience so much

THE MAIN SUCCESS FACTORS

AVAILABILITY OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS

• The different stakeholders were all able to attend and take part in the different activities we organised • We were able to communicate very reactively

OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM

• This enabled us to offer a complete approach adapted to various customer issues: from listening and gathering information to the emergence of new ideas and solutions, through the analysis and synthesis of complex data. We were also able to ensure adequate communication throughout the entire process.
