The story of ICTCG
ICTCG was founded in 2004 and works with major accounts in multiple sectors. Since 2021, the company has adopted the cooperative model: staff take an active part in the business and in management.
Open management
The ICTCG model rests on 3 pillars:
- Freedom of choice — Every consultant chooses their assignments and their path
- Transparency — Full access to management information
- Building together — Decisions are taken collectively
No downside?
According to Steve (Stéphane Gotfryd), the cooperative model has no downside. On the contrary, it brings concrete support at the 4 key moments of a consultant’s life.
“Being able to build together is rewarding.” — Stéphane Gotfryd
