Immediately after a contact is made, a response is provided within 48 hours with a selection of profiles that closely match the mission’s needs.

With an online tool, the evolution of the organization towards a more serene and positively impactful position can be tracked – a process that is as reassuring as it is innovative.
Key Roles and Expertise
A typical Transition Manager is not only experienced in salaried management but also excels in team management and has ample expertise in working in “mission” mode. Their experience, particularly in participating in executive committees, gives them a clear insight into the expectations and challenges faced by leaders. The role might include positions like DRH de transition, DAF de transition impact, or directeur transition, ensuring that every action taken is grounded in both industry expertise and impact transformation.
Strategic Transformation & Impact
Since July 2020, the LUM Community pushed for a deeper transformation given the rapidly evolving challenges faced by economic actors. By undergoing a strict certification to ISO 26000, it embraced a change-driven approach that prioritized impact. This transformation led to a reorganization of activities under the creation of MECOA RSE, essentially placing impact transformation projects at the core of strategic decisions. This innovative step has not only met social and environmental standards but has also championed a continuous improvement approach, encouraging the training of all managers in risk management and impact integration – a bold strategy that resonates with businesses across sectors.

Mission for a Sustainable Future
LUM Transition is more than just a service—it is a mission for a sustainable future. The LUM Community’s commitment to excellence in transitional management is evident from the project’s inception and ongoing operations. Emphasizing the importance of continuity in activities, the project ensures that every organization can proceed with stability even in times of change. The approach, which combines strategic diagnosis, prompt selection of an interim manager, and ongoing follow-ups, guarantees that every change is supported by an experienced hand at the helm. As organizations pursue restructuring or structuration d’entreprise, the presence of a capable interim manager – be it a directeur, DRH de transition, or another specialized role – fosters a seamless transition toward a positive impact.
This method of integrating transitional management ensures that risk is mitigated while the impact is maximized. The mission, often punctuated by regular meetings between the LUM teams and the hired manager, reflects a transparent and results-driven methodology. By also participating in the recruitment of future salaried direction, the Transition Manager facilitates a smooth handover and long-term solution. With a balanced mix of professional rigor and an engaging, dynamic approach, the project continuously adapts to evolving business environments, truly making a difference in the landscape of management de transition.
