What makes Zalis
different from other firms
Strategy + Operation
We are both advisors and doers. This dual role requires us to quickly get to the heart of problems and simplify complex situations by mobilizing a multidisciplinary team that will tell it like it is and work hand-in-hand with a company’s employees.
Adaptability + Propulsion
No two companies are alike; every situation is different. Zalis constantly adapts to the specific needs of its customers. Improving performance means knowing how to mobilize all your potential (internal and external), and catalyze energy to overcome difficult obstacles.
Confidentiality + Human Commitment
All our mandates are conducted in the strictest confidentiality. Taking into account the human factor in a business is essential in crisis management and exit situations. Zalis relies on teams with complementary skills and even goes so far as to get officially involved by assuming corporate powers. Our commitment is also reflected in our pro bono activities, such as supporting NGOs.
- We are extremely responsive and agile, and we quickly get to grips with the issues.
- We demystify very complex situations by mobilizing a straight-talking operational team that has complete intellectual independence and empathy in its interactions with a company’s employees.
- We ensure total confidentiality for our clients.
What makes us unique
- We are experts at crafting the right solutions by setting up a team of very experienced and mature professionals, even when it comes to junior consultants.
- We help reduce anxiety within a business and give it a human, social touch by taking an approach that promotes employee development.
Energy catalyst: Change is always difficult, especially when a business is in difficulty. Management has a hard time finding the necessary solutions on its own, most often managing short-term priorities at the expense of long-term ones, and has even more difficulty implementing change, choosing rather to re-apply strategies that once worked but are no longer effective. That’s where Zalis’s teams come into play as energizing catalysts. They design and propose a strategy, then go beyond ideas to implement the action plans.
Each year, Zalis allocates part of its turnover to pro bono activities and also provides support to NGOs or those in the cultural milieu.
Employee buyout
In the very particular case of employee buyouts, funds to pay for sound advice are not always available. For several years now, we have been developing a confidential advisory practice for employees taking over the companies they work for. We believe that it is important to support such endeavors when they are legitimate.
Support for non-profit companies
Zalis helps small non-profit companies involved in social or economic development projects (microcredit, etc.). Such social commitment is very important to us and is one of our company’s core values.
