A lightweight format for growing decisions and people, without fixed costs
Jour Fixe is a structured work process that helps organizations improve the quality of their decisions and make them sustainable over time.
It stems from direct experience in general management in complex contexts, where it becomes clear that growth, transformation, and operational pressure put stress on the way decisions are made, shared, and supported.
Jour Fixe works on this point: not on individual choices, but on the way decisions take shape within the organization..
In short, Jour Fixe is:
Short, regular, structured slots
- 1:1 or team sessions (online or in person)
- Duration: from 1h to 2h
- Frequency: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly
- Written follow-up with detailed decisions and priorities
Practice + sparring partner + operational tools
- Active listening and prioritization
- Coaching through operational decisions
- Support through practical tools (agenda planning, OPS review, escalation matrix, etc.)
- Direct translation into applicable working routine
Clarity, direction, freed-up time
- Faster and more consistent decisions
- Greater internal control
- Accountable teams
- Better quality time for leaders
- A dialogue that integrates years of experience in complex realities and defines practices that become corporate culture
How does a typical Jour Fixe work
A Jour Fixe is a structured, one-hour meeting based on current decisions and real situations.
The work follows three key steps, which reflect Jour Fixe's tagline: Listen. See. Act.
Active listening (10 min)
We start with the facts: open decisions, constraints, priorities, people involved.
Listening helps to build a common basis of understanding and avoid misunderstandings or premature interpretations.
Wrap Up (40 min)
We work to make options, decision-making criteria, and areas of responsibility explicit.
At this stage, role overlaps, implicit expectations, or postponed decisions often emerge.
Decision and direction (10 min)
Decisions are revised and defined, with clear responsibilities and concrete next steps.
In follow-up meetings, the choices are reviewed and any necessary adjustments are made.
Immediate results
- Clear priorities
- Improved coordination across functions
- Greater clear-headedness
- Clear operational decisions
- Relief from organizational noise/pressure
Long term results
- Growth in the decision-making capacity of key figures
- Reducing the decision-making burden on top management
- Greater continuity and consistency over time
- The organization is less dependent on individuals
- Reduced decision fatigue
- Culture of clarity and conciseness
A simple and modular formula
Jour Fixe is a simple, modular formula that can be adapted to the context and level of complexity of the organization. The paths share the same method and differ in scope and objective.
Plan Manager
- 1 h per week
- + short written follow-up (bullet points/ decisions)
Designed for individual key figures with high operational workloads.
Works on the quality of individual decisions, priority management, and strengthening the managerial role.
Plan Executive
- 1,5 h every two weeks
- + document review
- + strategic decisions
- + structured follow-up
Designed to work with multiple roles involved in strategic or cross-functional decisions. It helps clarify responsibilities, build a common decision-making language, and extend the decision-making range of top management.
Plan Premium
- to be defined
- + prereading and preparation
- + availability between sessions
- + support for presentations
Designed for highly complex strategic contexts.
It supports phases of transformation, restructuring, or redefinition of the organizational model, working on the sustainability of decisions over time.
Jour Fixe is an organizational tool, as well
It acts on the flow with which relevant information is collected, interpreted, and transformed into decisions.
When this flow is disordered or discontinuous, governance weakens: decisions pile up, overlap, or are made in emergencies.
Jour Fixe introduces a rhythm and structure that improve:
- the quality of information reaching the decision-making level
- their shared interpretation
- the organization's ability to transform them into coherent choices
In this sense, Jour Fixe is not only a support for people, but a mechanism that strengthens governancemaking the decision-making process more transparent, stable, and sustainable over time.
How decisions are shaped within the organization
In complex organizations, value comes not only from the decisions themselves, but from the quality of the information flow that feeds them.
Jour Fixe works on this point: it helps key people recognize their role in receiving, transforming, and transmitting relevant and timely information, making the decision-making process clearer and more coordinated.
Through regular cadence and a shared method, information is transformed into understandable decisions and consistent actions, reducing friction, overlap, and implicit conflicts.
In this way, Jour Fixe strengthens daily governance and enables continuous improvement that remains within the organization.
