LER - LES ENTREPRENEURS RÉUNIS
Activision and Variations have been partners with LER for over 10 years to motivate and maximise the value created for the entrepreneur and all stakeholders. Activision also trains LER business coaches in coaching tools and techniques applied to entrepreneurship.
LER is a group of entrepreneurs mainly from the digital industry, which works on request by founders or shareholders - investment funds, family office, business banking - for companies earning between €2 million and €100 million turnover and with excellent acceleration, development or optimisation potential.
LER develops adapted systems to maximise value creation in very short time frames of 1 to 9 months, generally based on the reinforcement of the strategic committee and/or management committee, associated with other operational activities (capital restructuring, build-up, asset transfers).
Variations and LER has jointly developed a team effectiveness questionnaire: the “Aristote” tool to decrypt the keys to success for a team and to make them rapidly operational, and to lead “hackathon or start-up weekend” type missions to develop entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in major international groups.

Kalher Brazil will be the exclusive distributor of Activision Coaching programmes in Brazil. The first course will start in December 2017. Kalher Brazil - managed by Jean Clément Rose - distributes the Process Communication model in Brazil since 2015, and already has a team of 20 trainers.

Process Communication Model® (PCM) is an Observation and Communication model based on research carried out by Taibi Kahler, PhD., during the 70s, in partnership with NASA, PCM® was created in 1982 in the United States and introduced to France in 1987 by Gérard Collignon.
This model helps develop self-awareness, awareness of others, and better optimise interpersonal relationships, particularly management and negotiation situations. This effective and highly relevant model, both in terms of individual support and team coaching, has spread rapidly in Europe, and is now distributed worldwide by KCI.
We work in partnership with KCI to distribute the PCM® model associated with the ICF reference with the Activision PCM Coaching programme. (for more information, visit our page: Process Communication Coaching Training).
