Marion Lefeuvre

Managing uncertainty and complexity

As a passionate designer and entrepreneur with a triple degree in design (L'École de Design Nantes Atlantique), management (IAE Nantes) and change management (UCO Angers), I help organisations in search of direction to take a fresh look at their innovation projects and to manage the related uncertainty.
By putting people at the heart of my made-to-measure approach, which combines systemic design - better known as design thinking - and professional coaching, I help the group to identify new solutions and take action.
Because I believe that the transmission of knowledge is a good way to challenge what has been learnt and to stay up to date, I teach in various schools in the west of France (École de Design Nantes Atlantique, Audencia Business School, IFAG, ISEG, WIS in Nantes, ESSCA in Angers...) and I also run design thinking training courses for companies and local authorities (Eure-et-Loir, Val d'Oise, Mayenne...).
