ALTEN is training in the best content-sharing tools to engage all its employees
Published on
Mastering your content is good, but knowing how to convey it with passion, precision, and pedagogy is even better! For this reason, at Seven we developed a training program called “Train the Trainers.” During this program, we work with professionals who want to deepen their ability to pass on knowledge, and we share teaching methods that can be applied immediately. Since 2020, we have proudly supported Alten, the leader in engineering and technology consulting.

ALTEN: a group that aims to stay at the cutting edge of innovation
An expert in innovation, R&D, and information systems, ALTEN remains a group constantly looking for the latest and best content delivery techniques. To do so, the group continuously surrounds itself with partners who share its commitment to high standards and novelty. This is how, in the first half of 2020, Julie Rosay, Training Manager for Support Functions, contacted the Seven team to reveal the facilitation talent of 15 Project Managers, Technical Directors, and Project Directors. To meet this need, Seven created a training program for the group in July 2020, called “Train the Trainers.”
The keys to being a good trainer with 4 Seven workshops
After studying ALTEN’s full needs, we launched 4 workshops tailored to participants’ expectations:
Understanding the multiplicity of perspectives
Identifying and convincing surrounding stakeholders
Creating rhythm
Communicating effectively
To begin, ALTEN employees go through a phase of introspection, followed by observation of those around them. These analytical moments allow them to measure the consequences of exchanges among all talents.
Keen to mobilize their teams in decision-making, Project Managers, Technical Directors, and Project Directors explore, during the training, a matrix to bring most of their stakeholders on board with a specific project.
Since they are regularly in contact with talents with diverse skills and profiles, capturing the attention of a broad audience has always been essential for Alten managers. To achieve this, all participants were trained in multiple intelligences.
Finally, so that their role as facilitators could gain experience in a limited time, ALTEN employees worked on the three pillars of communication. The goal: for their messages to align both with their intention and with their audience’s perception.
After the train-the-trainer program?
Following the “Train the Trainers” workshop, ALTEN continued its support with Seven around a new objective: optimizing their existing content. We were therefore delighted to share our expertise in instructional design. How do you gamify technical concepts, organize your ideas differently, launch an icebreaker? These are all topics the talents worked on with confidence.
Today, several hundred ALTEN employees from Support Functions take internal training courses led by directors familiar with the Seven method. What a source of pride!
Stéphane Dahan, ALTEN’s Engineering Recruitment Director and former participant, told us: “What got me hooked was the mix of very broad and diverse theoretical knowledge, a true passion for transmission, and a desire to break the codes of traditional training.” Elevating complex concepts, sharing our interest in pedagogy, standing out: this is how Seven works, and Stéphane captured it perfectly! He concluded by saying that he had learned “a set of techniques to capture each trainee’s intelligence and address each person according to their own learning capacity, in their own style.”
Our desire to train trainers knows no limits! So if you want to optimize your facilitation techniques, we would be happy to support you in implementing your great project.
