WHY OCTAVE ?
The Octave Program originated from the idea that all
the generations in the company have a contribution to make.
The name Octave comes from the fact that the company is like a piano, which tends to play on just the two central octaves – the generations of 30-50 year-olds – while neglecting the lower and higher octaves.
POSITIONING
It is now more important than ever to have robust people on our teams,
who are confident and can make meaningful contributions to collective performance.
That’s why the Octave Program is based on both personal development and
an understanding of our changing world.
A POWERFUL MOTTO
“Be yourself
and be part
of a changing world”
Our conviction : any major transformation begins with a self transformation
