FAVI France-Picardy. A managerial innovation built on humanist values
Résumé
FAVI (Fonderie et Ateliers du Vimeu) is an automotive subcontractor whose results make you dream: a succession of product/market innovation, staff growth from 100 to 600 employees, 82% of whom are productive, a turnover doubled in seven years, a net margin of 6.7% and an uninterrupted economic performance for 60 years. What if the success of this industrial company came from its management model based on humanist values? The secret of FAVI’s prosperity seems to lie in an original managerial model characterized by a respect for human dignity, freedom, autonomy and the liberation of workers’ intelligence, but also a strong engagement with stakeholders and a territorial anchoring in the Picardy region translated in an ecological commitment.
