As a hospital manager he has applied innovative transversal management techniques called "TEALS" associated with the behavioural characterisations of the enagram and the logic of gamification. The horizontal organisation with the distribution of responsibilities and the creation of cohesive and performing work groups has led - with the same budget and staff - to a doubling of performance and an increase in quality of life for both staff and users: a winning and repeatable model.
