Manageris

What Manageris does

Manageris is a privately held French content and advisory company, structured as a Société Anonyme (SA), headquartered at 64 rue des Mathurins in Paris. Founded in 1993, the firm specializes in producing management and leadership content for executives, mid-level managers, and HR departments through a subscription-based platform. Its core products are the Manageris Synopsis (eight-page analytical publications on topics including leadership, change management, strategy, and personal effectiveness), Look at the News (a two-page current-events section), and Management Gems (curated excerpts from external books, articles, studies, podcasts, and videos). Subscribers also gain access to a private online archive of more than 300 downloadable synopses.

The company's underlying technology is its curated editorial archive rather than a software platform. In recent product updates, Manageris has introduced an AI Assistant (text modality) that uses natural language processing and knowledge retrieval against the proprietary synopsis database to generate personalized action recommendations for managerial challenges. The assistant operates as an add-on module atop the existing content, hosted at managementplace.com. The platform is GDPR compliant.

Manageris's business model is a direct-to-customer annual subscription, priced at €891 (promotional) or €990 (regular) for web-only access as of 2024. Distribution is primarily self-serve through the corporate website (www.manageris.com), supplemented by phone sales at +33 (0)1 53 24 39 39 and contact forms. The company is privately controlled by its leadership, with Etienne Baërd serving as CEO; no external institutional investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or partnerships are disclosed in source materials. Geographic focus is France and Europe.
