Reorganization of an entity following the disposal of a product line

CONTEXT

Our client is an American software publisher that distributes its products in the EMEA region through French and German subsidiaries. As part of the disposal of a product family that does not fit with its positioning, the group is using the services of an Interim Manager to rethink the organization of its Human Resources Department. These products account for only 3% of the group's revenue but represent 15% of the EMEA region. This disposal has immediate repercussions on the organization and workforce of the French and German subsidiaries. The manager is there to ensure that HR processes comply with legislation.
