Upstream technical choicesContract management Processes are neither simple nor precise enough; their implementation is not rigorous enoughDiluted responsibilities

ConsequencesReinforce the Design Authority Involve Purchasing, Legal and the Design Authority from the upstream phase onwardsDevelop process implementation measurement and introduce a Right to Veto for the Quality Department at key gates

Chorus II Orientation

Simplify and unify the Chorus Reference System(structure, content)

Define the Chorus Reference System in two layersSteering: those elements that are strictly for managing processesOperational: those operational elements associated with daily business operations, including IS solutions

Define convergence route at Group level while taking into account local business needs

Clarify Thales operating processes and individual roles and responsibilities within these processes

Concept inherited from the Thomson-CSF era, when France dominated largely, with a business model based on direct exports to the rest of the world � out of step with current size of Group’s presence abroad (>50% of employees)

Overcentralisation of powers by the Divisions, so that :Responsibility removed from local teamsImpossibility of Division’s staff to keep pace with everythingGreat difficulty in establishing local inter Divisional synergies (« silo » effect)Inadequate response to contracts difficulties, loss of commercial opportunities, failure to optimise local costs

Matrix too complex, each Division having its own reference system and imposing it in each country (proliferation of reporting lines and systems, regional JVs uncoordinated)

Significant waste of internal effort, lack of coherence within the Group

Too many interfaces with client Thales’ image misunderstood by client, scale of Group insufficiently exploited

Disadvantages of current organisation

Evolution of the matrix:Domestic Countries become responsible for bids, contracts, customer satisfaction and for P&L (= short term)Divisions to focus on R&D strategy, products & services, industrial policies (= long term)

Evolution of Divisions: transition from six to seven, with the improvement of real coherence within each DivisionReduction in the number of Business Lines:move from 44 to 33Removal of management of Business SegmentsRemoval of Country Division Director, Global Technical Unit, Country Technical Unit conceptsUnification and simplification of economic and financial reporting, via the Domestic Countries

Two types of role coexist in the projectfor the new matrix:

Country axis: operational role, to include P&L, with a wide range of managerial responsibility (bids, programmes, customer relationship management, Human Resources and asset management, cost and WCR optimisation)

example: Area DirectorDomestic Country DirectorCompany Chairman & Chief Executive

Divisional axis: functional role, to include responsibility for strategy, with specific powers on operational managers (definition of R&D policy, product policy & services, and industrial policy) and associated methods of control (approval of R&D budget, of industrial and technical investment, and of technical content of bids)
