Consulting & Coaching
IN ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Supporting major accounts and project teams in mastering complex systems
CESAMES is a leading consulting and architecture firm specializing in the management of complex systems, supporting major French manufacturers to ensure the optimization and governance of these systems at all stages of their life cycle.
➤ As part of our consulting missions, our stance is radically geared towards the creation of operational added value: we produce measurable results!
| Consulting

CESAMES’s mission is to improve operational performance and control of complex systems throughout the life cycle.
The key to successful organizational transformation is the ability to mobilize the stakeholders involved in this transformation. The support provided by CESAMES is structured to enable each hierarchical level to be engaged, one by one, on the direction, principles, and methods of the transformation to be implemented.
➤ CESAMES thus supports the strategy, the framework, the definition of the detailed operational model, the implementation of pilots, the commitment of all management levels up to the field, the deployment and the development of skills.
| Coaching
Our operational project coaching offer:
one of CESAMES’ flagship services and a differentiating factor highlighted by all our customers.
Project coaching alternates between flexible half-day work and coaching sessions. This program helps a project team build an Enterprise Architecture or System Architecture file to successfully complete the design and development phase of a complex industrial product or organizational transformation.
Our two coaching methods:
➤ Individual coaching for systems architects
➤ Project team coaching
Our coaching approach is always tailored to your specific needs for value creation and project achievement.
Coaching is also one of the best ways to increase the maturity of the team or individual being coached by providing them with the required architectural knowledge as needed. Each project team (or individual) is supported by a coach (one of our architects) who provides personal guidance to help them implement the CESAM method and successfully complete their project.
This project support is highlighted in our client satisfaction surveys as a real plus and a source of unparalleled added value.
| Our intervention models
A CESAMES intervention model is a framework that allows us to be more efficient and more consistent during our missions by being adapted to the context and situation of each of our clients.
The strategic and differentiating choice of the CESAMES firm is to invest each year a significant part of its employees’ time to perfect their expertise in MBSE (model-based systems engineering), to feed the documentation of the CESAM method (our MBSE architecture framework described in our expertise), to perfect their mastery of modeling tools and finally, to document our mission intervention protocols – which we call our intervention models – as well as the know-how they apply.
These intervention models are based on:
➤ more than 30 years of academic research on complex systems engineering and architecture (MBSE),
➤ the professional expertise of our consultants, all from industry, in modeling tools,
➤ observation and adaptation to the evolving needs of our clients.
The common objectives of all these intervention models are:
➤ to enable each of our stakeholders to understand and share best practices to best support our clients and be as quickly and collectively effective as possible on assignments,
➤ to act as a reference (selection of templates, tools, examples, field feedback, etc.) to serve as a basis for our intervention for all resources involved throughout the lifecycle.
