ENGLISH WILL FOLLOW

De nombreux entrepreneurs rencontrent un obstacle fréquent : l’absence de méthodes structurées et basées sur les données pour suivre les progrès, identifier les principaux moteurs de croissance et prendre des décisions stratégiques éclairées. Si des conseils opérationnels sont souvent disponibles, le savoir-faire pratique pour appliquer des cadres comme les KPI (Indicateurs Clés de Performance) et les OKR (Objectifs et Résultats Clés) fait souvent défaut. Sans une base solide en analyse de données, il est facile de perdre de vue ce qui fonctionne — et ce qui ne fonctionne pas.

Cet atelier pratique a été conçu pour y remédier. Vous commencerez par explorer les fondamentaux de la prise de décision basée sur les données, puis vous apprendrez à identifier et suivre les KPI et les indicateurs clés adaptés à votre entreprise. Vous découvrirez ensuite comment mettre en œuvre les OKR pour orienter la croissance stratégique et comment utiliser des tableaux de bord pour suivre les performances en temps réel. La session se termine par une période de questions-réponses et un accompagnement pour élaborer un plan d’action personnalisé, afin que vous puissiez appliquer immédiatement ce que vous aurez appris.

Intervenant : Mario Ramadan, Expert en innovation et différenciation

Inscription préalable requise. Cet atelier est présenté en anglais et est disponible qu’en webinaire en direct.

Many entrepreneurs face a common roadblock: a lack of structured, data-informed methods to track progress, identify key growth drivers, and make smart strategic decisions. While operational guidance is often available, the practical know-how to apply frameworks like KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) is often missing. Without a solid foundation in data analytics, it's easy to lose sight of what’s working—and what’s not.

This hands-on workshop is designed to change that. You’ll start by exploring the fundamentals of data-driven decision-making, then dive into how to identify and track the right KPIs and business metrics for your venture. From there, you’ll learn how to implement OKRs to guide strategic growth and discover how performance dashboards can be used to monitor progress in real time. The session wraps up with a Q&A and support in building a personalized action plan—so you can start applying what you’ve learned right away.
