Dr. Gilles Spony

Gilles spent over 8 years developing and testing in Britain and France the SPM, a profiling tool developed at Cranfield School of Management. A former HR and Training Manager in France, Gilles developed a passion for understanding cross-cultural interactions after a two-year assignment as an expatriate in the Ivory Coast. Forecasting the boom of current issues in cross-cultural mergers and acquisitions and the management of cross-cultural teams, Since then, Gilles has developed an analytical model aimed at analysing the impact of personality and cultural differences on managers' decision-making style within the modern work context. His model represents a truly innovative step to adapt traditional personality profiling to the modern context of internationalisation and globalisation. His efforts were acknowledged by the European Association of Personnel Management with the award of the best European thesis of the year 2001 in the field of International HRM.
