Corporate Values Analysis and Optimisation

From top management to front-line employees, it is crucial that all stakeholders identify with a coherent branding strategy. Our advisory services will assist you in carrying out an initial corporate culture audit at all levels of the organisation. This information is essential to then implement the desired company culture, with clear and harmonious values throughout the organisation, increasing productivity and reducing turnover thanks to an overall greater commitment to your organization.

Peak periods or major projects that need to be completed within a clear deadline often generate a heavy workload for managers in hospitality organizations. Tailored Values offers operational and training support customized to fit your specific corporate culture, employing tools that prove responsive to your particular needs for the required period. For emerging brands in the industry, our expertise covers the pre-opening and opening phases, providing guidance in the coordination of training activities and in the definition of the operational implications relevant to your particular concept.

I had the best training sessions ever... When I think about Bertrand, I can just say: "The reward for a work well done is the opportunity to do more." (Dr. Jonas Salk)

It was a real pleasure meeting and working with Bertrand. His genuine smile and passion will always be remembered through the future trainings we will be conducting at the hotel.

Bertrand has been a true mentor for me as he supported me and helped me to find my way in the business.

Bertrand immediately noticed my strong passion for well-being and suggested me to follow a career in the world of spa. He helped me to get in contact with the leaders of the Wellness sector and to build strong connections with the right people. The result is that I am working now as a Spa Manager in one of the leading Italian spa resorts.

Bertrand is "detail-minded" and very good in identifying areas of improvement (performance evaluation for the cabin crew members, for example).

Bertrand can easily adapt his language level. He very well understands the challenge it represents to manage people coming from another culture/generation.

The most striking achievement was your ability to get us to a point of determining a vision and identifying core values without having to comply with the status quo corporate statements.

Bertrand Willi

It is since the earliest stage of his life that Bertrand Willi demonstrated a passion for hospitality.

After graduating from the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (Switzerland) in January 2000, he joined Hyatt International Corporation, first as a Corporate Trainee at the Grand Hyatt Amman (Jordan), then as a Regional Operations Analyst for France, Spain, Belgium, and Morocco, based in Paris, and finally as a Marketing Manager Strategy for Europe, Africa & Middle East in Lausanne. In 2004, Bertrand went back to the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) to set-up its Alumni Relations & Career Services unit.

The active alumni network of the world's oldest hotel school consists of 9000+ members from all generations, located all over the world. A wide range of services and communication solutions have been developed for them, as well as for all current and potential employers of EHL students and alumni. Transposing EHL's values and mission to internal and external stakeholders (Students, Alumni, Faculty and Industry) is a core expertise of Bertrand. He took part in numerous hospitality trade shows and hotel investment conferences in Europe, Asia and the Middle East as the representative of EHL.

After 10 years of professional experience, Bertrand Willi has decided to put his skills, knowledge and experience at the service of the hospitality industry as a freelancer. His areas of expertise range from brand and business development, staff engagement techniques (including Generation Y associates), executive search and operational / analytical support for hospitality organizations and service-oriented functions. While his professional language skills are English and French, he also has a good understanding of German and Italian, and has been exposed to the Arabic, Asian and African cultures.
