We are currently selecting our 10 co-development partners

For COOs, CFOs, Innovation Directors, Business Continuity Managers, etc.

Your role plays a concrete part in the overall resilience.

You don't see yourself in the typical career paths offered to CEOs, CIOs, HR Directors, or Risk Managers, and that's normal.
Your role is unique :

You manage operational performance, financial stability, strategic innovation, or critical continuity.

You are at the heart of a fragile balance between efficiency and resilience, between predictability and adaptation.

The Challenge You Are Facing

As a COO, CFO, Innovation Director, or Business Continuity Manager, you've probably noticed that :

Traditional indicators inform you of critical changes too late.
The complexity of your organization slows down the detection of emerging risks.
Your teams often wait for instructions before acting in new situations.
Lessons learned from past crises are not sufficiently transforming your ways of working.

These challenges do not stem from a lack of data or procedures, but from a limited ability to perceive and react to weak signals in uncertain environments.

Our Response (not a solution, a capability)

We don't offer a turnkey solution. We help you develop sustainable internal foresight capabilities, tailored to your specific role and responsibilities.

For a COO, this may mean improving the early detection of disruptions in the supply chain.
For a CFO, this may involve identifying emerging financial risks not covered by traditional analyses.
For an Innovation Director, this may involve better perceiving the early signs of technological disruption.

We rely on biological mechanisms validated by scientific research, such as the work of CS Holling on ecological resilience or of Pierre-Paul Grassé on stigmergic coordination, which we transpose into concrete operational protocols for your context.

What we propose

Our support always begins with a no-obligation assessment of your current forecasting capabilities. This first step allows you to understand concretely where your strengths and limitations lie.

Next, depending on your identified needs, we can offer you :

A capacity-building program lasting 3 to 6 months
Workshops for co-creating protocols tailored to your position
Tools to measure the improvement in your operational vigilance
Regular monitoring of progress in detecting and responding to weak signals

The Program

Our approach follows a rigorous progression:

Initial assessment (2 weeks) : Diagnosis of your current forecasting capabilities and identification of improvement priorities
Co-construction (4 weeks) : Adapting bio-inspired protocols to your specific context and responsibilities
Supported implementation (8-12 weeks) : Gradual implementation with adjustments based on your feedback
Skills transfer (2 weeks) : Training your teams to independently use the installed devices

The Challenge You Are Facing

These mechanisms are not metaphors.

Depending on your role, you may encounter specific difficulties in anticipating risks :

As COO (Chief Operating Officer) :
You notice that problems in the supply chain or production are only detected once they already impact delivery times or quality. Alerts are relayed too slowly between departments, and teams often wait for specific instructions before reacting to new situations.
As CFO (Chief Financial Officer) :
You'll notice that traditional financial indicators only alert you to difficulties once they've already materialized. Emerging risks, whether regulatory, economic, or related to new competitors, frequently escape your usual control systems.
As Director of Innovation :
You notice that early signs of technological disruption or changing customer expectations are identified too late. Coordination between your R&D teams and the rest of the organization lacks the fluidity needed to translate these signals into concrete actions.
As Business Continuity Manager :
You observe that business continuity plans, although documented, struggle to be effectively implemented in the face of unforeseen crises. Lessons learned from past incidents are not sufficiently translating into lasting process improvements.

These challenges share a common characteristic :

They are not primarily due to a lack of procedures or technologies, but to a limitation in the ability to perceive weak signals and respond to them adaptively.

Research in management science, particularly the work of Day and Schoemaker on the "peripheral view" of organizations, confirms that these difficulties are widespread in contemporary businesses. These are not exceptional problems, but structural challenges faced by the majority of organizations in complex environments.

We observe that these limitations persist despite investments in information systems and control procedures, because they affect fundamental mechanisms of human perception and coordination.

And above all, you know one thing: waiting for the next crisis to break out before reacting is already too late.

Our Response (not a solution, a capability)

We don't sell ready-made solutions.

We don't offer standard solutions or ready-made methods. We work with you to develop sustainable internal capabilities, specifically tailored to your role and responsibilities.

For the COO : We work to strengthen your ability to detect weak signals in your operations and supply chain, before they impact production or quality.
For the CFO : We develop your ability to identify emerging financial risks that traditional indicators do not capture early enough.
For the Innovation Director : We strengthen your ability to perceive signals of technological disruption or market change in your ecosystem.
For the Business Continuity Manager : We improve your ability to anticipate unlikely but potentially destructive crisis scenarios.

Our approach is based on biological mechanisms studied and validated by scientific research. For example, the work of CS Holling on ecosystem resilience or that of Pierre-Paul Grassé on coordination without hierarchy provides us with proven principles that we adapt to the organizational context.

These natural principles, when rigorously transposed, become concrete operational protocols that your teams can understand and gradually apply.

What we propose

Contact us to adapt it to your position.

Our support begins with an honest assessment of your current situation. We don't start from theoretical principles, but from your operational reality.

Initial diagnosis without obligation

We dedicate half a day to understanding precisely :

✅ Your current mechanisms for detecting weak signals
✅ Your decision-making processes in the face of the unpredictable
✅ Your methods for capitalizing on learning
✅ Your strengths and weaknesses in terms of anticipation

This diagnosis provides you with an objective assessment of your forecasting capabilities, whether or not you decide to continue with us.

Personalized support

If the diagnosis reveals relevant needs, we will work together to build a career path tailored to your role :

For a Chief Operating Officer (COO) : developing vigilance regarding supply chain risks
For a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) : strengthening the detection of emerging financial risks
For an innovation director : improving the identification of technological disruptions
For a business continuity manager : strengthening organizational resilience capabilities

Specific details

Duration : 3 to 6 months depending on identified needs
Frequency : 2 to 4 hours per week of direct support
Deliverables : operational protocols, measurement tools, internal training
Investment : package tailored to the size of your organization

The Program

We don't invent anything. We translate, we adapt, and we implement.

A targeted diagnosis (half a day)
Assessment of your current anticipation skills and identification of improvement priorities specific to your position.
What is your functional role within the organizational body ?
What are your systemic risks (beyond operational risks) ?
Where are your points of vulnerability (dependence on one person, lack of redundancy, ignored signals) ?

A translation into protocols
Together, we identify the principle(s) of life that are most relevant to you, not as a metaphor, but as a source of operational inspiration :
Need for fluidity ? Stigmergic coordination (Grassé, 1959).
Need for financial resilience ? Functional redundancy and adaptive regulation.
Need to detect innovation signals ? Sensory sensor network.

A foothold within your teams
We train your employees to become the guardians of this new logic :
Practical workshops on micro-reflexes that can be applied the very next day.
Implementation of post-disruption (even minor) learning rituals.
Designation of internal sentinels to maintain vigilance.

The program

Our support is delivered in three stages , over a period of 3 to 6 months , with an intensity tailored to your specific needs :

Diagnosis of your function in the biome
(½ day : video or in person)
→ Identification of your ecological role, your systemic vulnerabilities and your strengths.
Translation into living protocols
(2 to 3 co-constructed workshops)
→ Definition of simple action rules, inspired by real biological mechanisms, but adapted to your business context.
Anchoring in your team culture
(1 to 2 training sessions + light follow-up)
→ Empowering your teams to maintain and develop these practices without external dependence.

This program is not a standard product. It is custom-built , in constant dialogue with you.

Duration and Investment

This program does not promise to prevent all crises. It aims to ensure that, when the unforeseen occurs, your organization is not caught off guard, not because it predicted it, but because it has learned to sense, adapt, and learn from each experience.

This approach requires a genuine willingness to listen and experiment. The results largely depend on the organization's commitment to this collective learning process.

It requires neither expensive technology nor profound reorganization. It starts with what already exists :

People, their perceptions, and their ability to act together.

What this program is not

❌ This is not a standardized training program.
❌ This is not a compliance audit.
❌ This is not a promise of zero incidents.
❌ This is not a replacement for your existing technical tools.

What the program requires of your organization

Human commitment :

Your availability and that of your management teams throughout the duration of the program
The active involvement of at least ten people from different departments
The openness to questioning certain established processes

Time commitment :

An estimated involvement of half a day to two days per week dedicated to monitoring the program
Regular working meetings with the operational teams
Time dedicated to experimenting with new devices

What the program does not guarantee

We make no promises :

The disappearance of social or organizational crises
The detection of all weak signals
A rapid and complete cultural transformation
Quantifiable results in short timeframes

Operating principles

Transparency :

All observations, analyses and recommendations are shared in real time with your team.

Adaptation :

The program is adjusted according to your specific constraints and organizational context.

Gradual progression :

Each step builds upon the previous one, without any abrupt break from your current practices.

Sustainability :

The goal is to make you self-reliant in managing your forecasting capabilities, without external dependence.

Conditions for success

The organizations that benefit most from this program are those that :

They acknowledge their current limitations in terms of anticipation
They accept that improvement is gradual and sometimes non-linear.
They consider anticipation as a collective skill to be developed
They accept the element of uncertainty inherent in any learning process.

Financial commitment :

An investment corresponding to the internal working time mobilized
Costs related to peri-ecological support
Any organizational adjustments identified together
We explain in detail what is included and what is not before any commitment.

We offer you a diagnosis, an action to test, and a commitment : if it doesn't work, you stop.

To go further

Our response : to develop a capacity, not to provide a solution.

If this approach resonates with what you observe in the field, then Pericology might interest you. Not as a solution, but as a framework for reflection, experimentation, and potentially, co-creation.

Please take a few minutes to describe your situation to us.
