What is SEAM?
The Socio–Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) is an approach to developing leaders and managing organizational change that was developed by Henri Savall in Lyon, France.
45 years of practice and research have proven SEAM interventions and management tools to be extremely effective. The key to SEAM’s effectiveness is calculating and reducing hidden costs that normal accounting overlooks. The savings in time and money are channeled into developing human potential in the organization, which leads to increased employee engagement and organizational effectiveness.
SEAM helps organizations identify dysfunctions across 6 major categories.
