The Industrial Sparring Partner (ISP) is a senior profile with strong experience and industrial legitimacy. They act as a sparring partner for our Defense clients, particularly for the plant manager, industrial director, or COO (Chief Operations Officer).
To do this, they rely on a close relationship with the operational teams on the production sites and the missions they deliver or supervise. Their goal is to support and accelerate the industrial ramp-up of our clients, with the support of the Business Lines (notably ERD and Invent). They are dedicated to one or two accounts and focus on high-potential production sites.
The ISP has a strategic role with the GCP (Global Client Partner), is integrated into account teams (functional reporting), and supervises commitments related to their client's industrial issues. Together with the GCP, they define and execute an engagement model (“Skin in the game”) tailored to their client, with the goal of sharing KPIs. The ISP also participates in identifying and selling digital, engineering, and consulting projects in connection with their clients. The ISP is independent hierarchically but a privileged partner of the Business Lines. Deployment on one or two sites of one of the strategic priority accounts is carried out as part of a global European approach: in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Member of the ISP community, driven by the Intelligent Industry Accelerator.
