Kairos is about seizing opportunities that arise to accelerate the achievement of results.
It is the momentary rightness of time and place that creates the right atmosphere for action. It is acting at the opportune moment. It is thinking + acting...
Our beliefs
Ideas without actions are worthless.
As Saint-Exupéry said so well: "A strategy without a plan is called a wish." We make it a point of honor to create the conditions for success to make things happen with you and for you.
We have the courage of our opinions.
We're not here to win a popularity contest, but rather to help you take the actions necessary to go further. Yes, we will challenge you, and no, we won't necessarily share your point of view... Other consultants will do that for you. Not us!
A curious mind is a happy mind.
Keeping your horizons open, taking an interest in a wide array of topics and continually recharging your batteries is essential to bringing fresh perspectives. There is no place for fixed ideas at Kairos.
No compromise on quality. We get to the bottom of things.
We work efficiently but without cutting corners. Intellectual rigor is embedded in everything we do. There are no ready-made recipes for us. Our approach will be tailored to meet your needs.
Work hard, yes, work while having fun: absolutely!
Life is too short to take yourself seriously and not make the best of it day after day. And even when doing important work, it is essential to have fun and to have a good laugh!
Good ideas don't have titles.
There are valuable ideas in all of us; in the youngest, and in those who have a few grey hairs. Those who come from foreign countries or from around the block... To us, it is essential to listen, collect these ideas, discuss them and make them grow.
An seasoned team with diversified expertise...
