2019 has been a very active year for Aube Conseil in the airport sector:

• Development of a maturity model for airports in terms of customer experience management, on behalf of ACI World ( (« Airport Customer Experience Accreditation » : https://aci.aero/customer-experience-asq/services/airport-customer-experience-accreditation/ ). The launch took place in Hong Kong in April (we were there !) and more than 30 airports worldwide are now certified at level 1 and 2 (on 5 levels of maturity), among which Milan, Abu Dhabi, San Antonio, Hong Kong, Melbourne, ...

• Development of certification for customer experience professionals in airports (online training and assessment), on behalf of ACI World (ACES - Airport Customer Experience Specialist : https://aci.aero/global-training/training-information/course-categories/customer-experience/aces-airport-customer-experience-specialist/ )

• Strategic recommendations to develop the commitment of airport community employees to serve customers at multiple airports, based on the ACI World ECE model developed by Aube Conseil in 2018 (Employee survey for Customer Experience : https://aci.aero/customer-experience-asq/services/employee-survey-for-customer-experience/ ): San Francisco Airport, New-York / JFK airport, Galapagos airport,…

CITIES – CITIZEN EXPERIENCE : Aube Conseil becomes a consulting firm of reference in Canada to help Cities in their Citizen Experience Management project ... and soon in France and the world!

2019 has confirmed our role as a consultancy of reference in Canada for cities wishing to connect their actions to citizens’ experience:

• After having worked for the city of Montreal (Citizen Experience Design, Citizen charter, Support of Citizen experience team) and Brossard (Citizen experience culture) in 2017 and 2018, we have accomplished many beautiful missions for the City of Quebec, working as much on the experience of the citizens as on those of the employees of the City! We also contributed to the launch of the citizen experience project of the City of Laval.

• In France, a first intervention in front of 200 executives of the City of Paris, in November 2019, foreshadowed a first step forward to exploit in French and other international Cities the know-how that we developed in Canada All this is for sure predictive of a strong development in 2020 so that the territories, in France, in Canada and elsewhere in the world learn to use the voice of the citizens to act daily to change their lives!

To find out more about our maturity assessment tool for cities in terms of citizen experience management, send us an email to pierredaems@aubeconseil.com

PURPOSE COMPANIES: You want to become a Purpose Company: To deliver this purpose, you need to connect to what your stakeholders are experiencing in the daily relationship with your business.

Our wish for 2019 was "to dare utopia, joy and common good". This wish is being realized for more and more companies in France by the implementation of the PACTE law and the launch of “purpose companies”.

In Canada and in many places in the world, a momentum is also underway to help develop a progressist approach in business. Aube Conseil, whose purpose is present in the 2013 Bylaws ("Gathering all the positive energies to support companies in the humanistic evolution of society"), is today helping companies to have a purpose that is deeply linked to the experience of its various stakeholders: customers, employees, suppliers, partners, shareholders, ... ( to listen to Pierre Daems, interviewed by Julia Ahlfeldt, on her podcast site : click here" ).

To find out more about our services and to make sure that your purpose will be much more than an additional slogan in your communication strategy, send us an email.

Montreal: Aube Conseil accompanies airport's customer experience - an article in the "ACI World Report".


After his Keynote” at the “ASQ Forum” (Airport Service Quality) organized by ACI World (Airport Council International) at Brisbane last April, Pierre Daems has been quoted in an article in “ACI World Report” for his “human” vision of the customer experience in airport:

« While we believe in the power of numbers, we are also aware that we must never forget the human touch. As mentioned by our keynote speaker on customer experience management, Pierre Daems, CEO, Aube Conseil people are:

- our customers (passengers, guests, citizens, consumers);
- our employees; and
- our partners (suppliers and other stakeholders) »

Pierre Daems will also make an intervention in the next « ASQ Forums » in November in Ecuador and December in Italia. If you are interested by Aube Conseil’s expertise to accompany your customer experience management projects in Airports… Contact us!

Paris : André Coupet, Aube Conseil's partner and engaged personality of the think tank "entreprise et progrès", has made an Opinion way survey on the progressive company.

A survey was led by André Coupet, partner at Paris Montreal Conseil and also working in partnership with Aube Conseil, within the think tank “Entreprise et progress” on the following subject: “Are the French companies progressive?” The survey, conducted in partnership with Generali, is presented in two parts: one part conducted with the general public to collect the feeling and the vision of the citizens on the company today and another part with the business’ leaders.

What came out is that 89% of the leaders claim that they put the social impact and the economic performance of their companies at the same step… In contrast with 81% of the French citizens who still believe that the main purpose of a company is its profitability. According to André Coupet: “these results are the proof of a big misunderstanding between the French people and the business leaders. It is urgent to reconcile the company with its environment: this will necessarily come through concretes engagements and actions from both of them. This is the main object of the approach we called “the progressive company” (www.entrepriseprogressiste.com )

In the status’ preamble of the SAS Aube Conseil, it is indicated that: “Aube Conseil’s mission is to accompany French and Canadian companies in the development of their long-term performance by contributing to the fulfilment of the teams in order to enchant the customer day after day. Aube Conseil ambition is to bring together all these positive energies to accompany companies in the humanistic evolution of the society” … this shows how much we are convicted by the necessity to support our clients in this progressive company spirit!

Montréal-Paris : Philippe Carpentier, Aube Conseil's partner, helps our clients to make of the digital a real subject of strategic transformation.


Founder of the consulting firm Stratego and Aube Conseil’s partner, Philippe is a strategic and management consultant since more than 20 years. He has worked for many big firms (Deloitte, Oliver Wyman, Secor) and accompanied many leaders in their transformation projects (reorganization, geographic expansion, mergers and acquisition, market positioning, repositioning of a unit, new governance…).

He is recognized for his capacity to structure and to make operational complex projects in close collaboration with his clients. Philippe has accompanied several companies in Quebec and France on the necessary strategic transformation to take the digital face. According to Philippe, “In many sectors, the digital challenge the operation model and sometimes even the business model. Usually, the problem is that the reflection on the digital is disconnected from the existing operations or even from the company’s strategy.

The consequence is that people don’t really understand why the digitalisation is so important and what are the objectives targeted. Are we targeting cost reduction, improvement of the service quality, customer relationship, access to new markets? is it an offensive or defensive approach? On the other hand comes out the question of the levers that have to be used on the field in order to really capitalize on the “digitals” initiatives, extract as much value as we can and generate important transformations within the organization”. To meet Philippe and discuss with him your digital issues, contact us : contact@aubeconseil.com

Montreal: Pierre Daems leads the public workshop “collaborate for a better understanding of the needs of the customers” the 26th of May at the C2MTL; a “business conference, differently” in association with Tim Brown, David Suzuki and Muhammad Yunus !

The workshop will give to each of the participants the opportunity to reflect on the construction of a holistic experience with their partners…to collectively contribute to the client’s enchantment!

Vienna : Consulting is also about memorable experiences… With a wonderful mission for the French Lycee in Vienna !


A small moment of introspection into the world of consulting… what a wonderful job! At Aube Conseil, we are all mobilized to serve our customers…First of all, thanks to the incredible adventures that they kindly (and with trust) allow us to participate in… unforgettable experiences! These adventures often come true through missions in which our feeling of contribution to a transformation is strong and powerful…whether it be towards a development of the fulfilment of collaborators, towards the reinforcement of the values of a company, or towards a real differentiation by the experience lived by the customers! And it is adventures like these that we recently lived in Brisbane with ACI World (soon in Ecuador and Italy as well !)… or, even more recently, in Vienna, in Austria, with the Fench Lycee of Vienna (thank you Brigitte and the whole team for your fantastic welcome)…in one word… a big THANK YOU to you, our dear customers!

Canada/France - 2015 :
More than ever, optimism and solidarity at the heart of our actions

In the last post of last year, we wrote that our promise started to be held "Aube Conseil aims to bring together all the positive energy to support companies in the humanistic development of society." The events in France in the early 2015, could make us pessimistic, and one could think that humanism is really not there.

More than ever, in 2015, Aube Conseil wants to bring together the positive energies, which, we believe, will help to transform the companies we work with. We are fortunate, at the beginning of the year, to have ongoing projects with fantastic customers, with whom we love working: Cofidis Group, French Rugby Federation, Prisma Media Group, Châteauform, Corbeil appliances, Lagardère Groupama, among others.

MC2, the engagement survey to better serve customers that we developed in 2014, will take off: 5 clients use MC2 to identify the conditions for the development of their employees and the delight of their customers. Thanks to this, among others, Aube Conseil will put a new milestone in 2015: a strategic plan 2015/2018 will be developed and discussed with the Strategy Committee, with shareholders, partners and customers . We wish you a great year!

Philippe Castilla, partner of Aube Conseil, is a coach and consultant in leadership development, self-management and change management. He is launching a cycle of group courses on "Self-management and Managerial Effectiveness" with ESSEC Executive Education.

These courses offer a new educational approach, which integrates the mental preparation techniques and relaxation therapy used in high-performance sports. It is a moment for rest and healing, fostering the development of well-being and personal balance, as well as an opportunity to learn techniques to develop new managerial skills, gain leadership skills, and operate more efficiently in complex, uncertain and high-pressure environments" - Philippe Castilla
