Sign, Hippocrates was a pioneer in medicine, developing the foundations of medical semiotics: studying signs and symptoms to make a diagnosis. For Sign & Action experts, it's the same quest, using the experience of executives who have been in real operational leadership situations to read and observe the precursor signs to success or failure of projects or corporate change ambitions.
Action, because for Sign & Action experts, ideas have little value if they are not meant to be executed. So our motivation will always be to provide concrete solution proposals to decision-making teams. We are also resolutely focused on optimism and the certainty that teamwork can always find a path to success.
Vision without execution is just hallucination.
Thomas Edison

Responsibility
A company is a place where men and women coexist to achieve an ambition. This ambition must be part of a fair, equitable society, concerned about future generations and therefore the protection of its human and ecological environment.
Our founder
An expert is a person who can demonstrate both theoretical and practical experience.
Loïc de Tarade has accumulated nearly 25 years of industrial management in diverse fields such as automotive, heavy paper industry, pharmaceutical production, and medical nuclear industry.
While previously holding numerous operational positions: from production, to technical functions management, to product development and quality improvement, in textiles, plastics transformation, and metal transformation.
Loïc's journey has also allowed him to build a network of experts capable of understanding all the industrial dimensions of a company.
Based on this experience, Loïc has acquired several convictions. The first is that companies are made up of men and women who all aspire to identify with the company's identity, as well as its commitments and projects. The second is that the fundamental or occasional issues of companies often closely resemble issues already encountered in other companies. Thus, shared experiences are still largely untapped wealth, and collective intelligence often represents more potential than isolated individual performances.
I have rarely seen opposition in a company, but too often misunderstandings.
Therefore, the actions and projects that companies must carry out to ensure their future cannot be separated from the teams' aspiration to identify with them. And value or improvement is not created by using fancy theoretical terms... but by accompanying teams on paths to what is possible.
