Compagnie des Alpes has a “federal” structure that combines a local flexibility and global efficiency. This organizational model, which has already been proven by the group in its original scope, is also being adopted in the family leisure division, with adaptation to local constraints, where necessary.
The Chairman - Chief Executive Officer is assisted by 4 Associate Managing Directors.
Operating companies, which are Group subsidiaries, are led by an operational team that is perfectly aware of local issues. These teams are completely responsible for the operations and the results of the companies they manage. They have broad autonomy in recruitment of staff, and in organizing the business (schedules, maintenance, security, etc.). They are also in charge of the local application of CDA’s overall policies, in areas as varied as capital expenditures, marketing, pricing policies and customer databases.
The Compagnie des Alpes head office is the center of the network of operating companies. Here is where classic central administrative services, such as accounts consolidation, setting accounting rules, grouped purchasing, special financing and stock exchange relations are carried out. This is also where the Group’s overall policies and development are decided, which are then locally implemented by the subsidiaries. An elaborate reporting and planning system allows tight management at every level and the capacity for rapid reaction essential if a decentralized organization is to work well. Transparency is one of the Group’s key values. It allows free circulation of the know-how developed by each company, benefiting all Group companies.
On March 19, 2009, Compagnie des Alpes adopted a single-tier management structure with a Board of Directors.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is assisted by 4 Associate Managing Directors.
