Frontline Management training in La Chaux-de-Fonds · canton of NeuchâtelIntervention note: method: structuring a frontline management initiative in La Chaux-de-Fonds over 90 days
A CFO from a watch group called me on a Tuesday evening. "We've got a thing." In La Chaux-de-Fonds as elsewhere, that's often how it begins. A frontline management transformation doesn't play out in two days or two years. Ninety days is the window in which an observable, measurable change can be produced without exhausting the organisation. Here is the sequenced method we use in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the canton of Neuchâtel.
Days 1-15: diagnosis and framing
Five internal interviews, two field observations, one document review. Goal: produce a one-page framing that precisely names the target behaviour, the linked business stake and the responsible sponsor. Without this document, what follows drifts. A single metric is enough: how often the target behaviour is observed 90 days after the workshop.
Days 16-30: sponsor and collective alignment
The sponsor publicly states the stake to the team. Short (20 minutes) but the moment that legitimises everything that follows. We systematically prepare it together — message, tone, formulation of expectations.
Days 31-60: guided practice
Two 4-hour collective workshops three weeks apart, complemented by individual coaching for key profiles. The phase where frontline management shifts from declared to practised.
Days 61-80: anchoring through rituals
We install the new behaviours into existing rituals: weekly team review, one-to-ones, steering committee. No new meeting — we transform meetings that already exist. That's what makes the change sustainable. (our executive and employee training programmes)
Days 81-90: impact review
Honest measurement: follow-up interviews, field observation, business indicators. We separate what genuinely changed from what stayed declarative. This review produces the next decision: extend, deepen, or stop.
The takeaway
One last thing, almost whispered: what we see in La Chaux-de-Fonds doesn't depend on the size of the organisation. A 40-person SME can produce sharper change than a 4,000-headcount group, simply because it accepts to look at what it has long avoided. That's the real factor.
