Frequently asked questions
21 questions
Who are you, and who does the work?
THG Conseil is an independent firm that I founded and run. I’m the one who does the work, from the first conversation to the last committee. When a subject calls for another profession, I say so and work with the specialist you choose; for law and accounting, with your lawyer and your accountant.
What services do you offer?
Five, one for each situation: “Project leadership”, “Growth”, “Coming through a crisis”, “Executive coaching” and “Team training”. Each page sets out what you get, a real proof point from my background and the format.
In what formats do you work?
It depends on the service. Project leadership: part-time PMO, one to two days a week; Growth: an initial diagnostic, then a roadmap; Coming through a crisis: crisis intervention, with a decision point every day; Executive coaching: regular one-to-one sessions; Team training: sessions on your premises. The details and duration are set out in my written proposal.
What are your fees?
They depend on the service, the format and your situation. The first conversation, by phone, is complimentary: it is used to set up a meeting where I present a written proposal, with the plan, scope, duration and cost of each stage, which we sign there and then if it suits you. The initial diagnostic is a five-day package at a reduced rate; assignments are paid in advance, in full or in large part.
Which companies do you work with?
Start-ups, SMEs, mid-sized companies and large groups. I run my own companies, which are small, and I have run programmes for four major groups: energy, gas network, entertainment, retail. Alongside my assignments for major groups, I have worked from time to time with business owners and organisations outside IT: advisory work, hands-on support, development, audit, optimisation, crisis management, governance. I adapt the method to your size: three routines and a one-page dashboard are often enough for an SME.
Can you guarantee higher profits, or a way out of the crisis?
No, and I’d be wary of anyone who promises it. The outcome also depends on your market and on the decisions you take. My commitment is to the method and the work: costed, agreed levers, a plan followed every week, figures built from the data you give me, with their sources and assumptions written down. And to specific points: you can end a time-based assignment at the end of any month with 15 days’ written notice, with no penalty, work done remaining payable; and three months after an assignment ends, a one-hour follow-up is complimentary.
What gains can I expect from working with you?
Six types of gain: financial, operational, productivity, savings on licences and contracts, building on each project, and governance. The Method and gains page sets out, for each one, where the gain comes from, how it is measured and which targets to aim for. No result is guaranteed: the previous question explains why.
How do you measure a gain?
With three markers: the starting point, the indicator tracked, and the person on your side who validates the figure. The Method and gains page sets them out, type by type.
Do you replace my accountant or my lawyer?
No. I don’t keep your books, certify accounts or draft legal documents. Anything touching on law or accounting is handled with your lawyer and your accountant: I prepare the figures, hold the action plan and work with them. Court-appointed mandates remain the business of court-appointed officers.
Do you hold a coaching certification?
No: I claim no coaching certification. My coaching is a business owner’s: it is about your decisions, your organisation and your leadership, in one-to-one sessions based on the GROW model. It draws on 22 years of football, up to national level, and a small team of coaches that I led for six years. I don’t offer therapy.
What training do you offer?
In-house training that leads to no certification, built on your own projects: project management, governance, budget tracking. Sessions take place at your company, and the materials are handed over to you. It gives no entitlement to public or pooled vocational training funding.
Why are your documents free to access?
Because this site is here to inform. Nothing is sold on it, no account is created and no email address is asked for: you download each document in one click, from the Resources tab.
What may I do with these documents?
Use them within your business, adapt them to your figures, print them and share them with your teams. Resale and republication need my written consent. They are general templates, supplied without warranty: they replace neither your lawyer nor your accountant. The full terms are in the legal notice.
What formats are the documents in?
Workbooks are Excel files (.xlsx); guides and one-page sheets are PDFs. Each module brings together a workbook, a step-by-step guide and a one-page sheet; you can download it as a single ZIP folder or file by file. Its page also shows a step-by-step video, silent and subtitled. Templates and modules exist in French and in English.
Are the documents updated?
Yes: when a document is corrected or added to, its file is replaced, so the one on the site is the current version. The site keeps no email address, so it cannot notify you: come back to the Resources tab, where new documents also appear.
When can you start?
Our first conversation, by phone, happens within 48 hours. The start date depends on your urgency and the format; it is set out in my written proposal. In a crisis, call +33 6 74 86 88 70 directly: the conversation and the intervention contract happen within 2 hours, and I step in as soon as it is signed.
How can I reach you?
By phone on +33 6 74 86 88 70, on WhatsApp on the same number, by email at contact@thgconseil.fr or on LinkedIn. The site has no form: you write to me or call me directly, and our first conversation happens within 48 hours.
Does the site collect my data?
No. It has no account, no form and no analytics, and sets no cookies of its own: you read and download without leaving an address. Only the host processes the technical data needed to send you the pages. The details are in the privacy policy.
How do you protect confidentiality?
I’ll sign a non-disclosure agreement before any detailed discussion if you wish. Everything I produce stays in your tools. Before using an AI tool on your data, I write the rules with you: which data, which service, where it is processed, who reviews before circulation.
Do you work directly or through an approved supplier?
Both. Directly, you contract with THG Conseil. If your procurement policy requires an approved supplier, I work through them.
Where do you work, and in which language?
At your offices in Paris and the Île-de-France region, or by video call. Key committees and cutover days happen on site. I work in French or English.
