About Samuel

Are you deploying a digital tool, transforming a business process, or managing a strategic IT project? I will help you secure project management and ensure user adoption.

I provide direct support to business and IT departments to structure, manage, and deploy your projects, while implementing the necessary mechanisms for their operational adoption.

My interventions notably cover:
  • Project management: stakeholder coordination, schedule monitoring, committee animation, and reporting.
  • Definition and deployment of change management.
  • Design and management of user training programs.
  • Support for business teams and local relays.
  • Monitoring indicators and securing adoption.
I have supported several large groups (EDF, PSA Groupe, Orange) on projects for deploying IT systems, CRM (Salesforce), and business applications, in multi-site environments with high operational stakes.

Key deliverables: project governance, roadmaps, change management plans, training plans, user guides, steering dashboards, and adoption indicators.

My added value: dual expertise in project management and change management, with a structured, pragmatic, and results-oriented approach.

Available for project management, change management, and digital tool deployment missions.
