SoManyWays

What SoManyWays does

SoManyWays is a Paris-based B2B management training company founded in 2018 by Anaïs Georgelin. It designs and delivers bespoke intra-company programs that target durable behavioral change in managers rather than theoretical instruction. The core offer combines three productized components: (1) experiential group workshops drawn from a 30+ module catalogue delivered in FLASH (2h), Boost (0.5 day), and Shift (1 day) formats; (2) a digital pedagogical application for daily practice anchoring and HR-facing progress dashboards; and (3) an AI assistant providing real-time support between workshop sessions. The company layers proprietary frameworks on top — the Workoscope® rapport-au-travail diagnostic, the Boussole Manager before/after measurement instrument, and the 5 Modes of Relationship to Work taxonomy — which together underpin both pedagogy and impact reporting. SoManyWays is Qualiopi-certified, holds JEI (Jeune Entreprise Innovante) status, and its programs are eligible for OPCO and CPF financing in France.

The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with no standardized pricing: each program is custom-built per client based on manager count, pedagogical objectives, and chosen formats, typically delivered as multi-month sequenced journeys. The customer base spans 230+ organizations across banking and insurance (Macif, BPCE, Malakoff Humanis, Howden), healthcare (Elsan, Pharmabest, Vyv), technology (Ivalua, Pix), transport (SNCF, RATP), luxury and retail (LVMH, Leroy Merlin, Puma), consulting (Grant Thornton, GEIREC), and engineering (SETEC Nucléaire), with cumulative reach of 8,000+ managers trained and self-reported outcomes of 87% practice change and 98% client recommendation. The core team is ~15 staff in Paris supplemented by a 25+ practitioner-trainer network. SoManyWays is a bootstrapped SASU with €1,000 share capital, no external institutional funding, and operates exclusively in France to date.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Global enterprise L&D platform offering leadership, compliance, and technology training content. Broad incumbent that competes for the same L&D budget with off-the-shelf leadership curricula.
• HEC Paris Executive Education: Top-tier French business school executive education arm offering leadership programs to French and international executives. Adjacent competitor for senior-level management development budgets.
• Cegos: Largest corporate training provider in France with a broad management and leadership development catalog. Operates as a scaled, multi-country incumbent directly competing for the same HR/L&D budgets that SoManyWays targets.

Emerging players

• BetterUp: US-based leadership coaching and AI-enabled manager development platform. Comparable in targeting management behavior change through technology-augmented coaching, though operating at much larger scale and geography.

Direct peers

• Crossknowledge: European digital learning and leadership development provider combining content, blended programs, and technology. Closest scaled direct peer in the hybrid management-training-plus-platform category.
• Lepaya: Netherlands-based provider of power skills and leadership training combining in-person workshops with digital tools. Closely comparable European peer with hybrid delivery model targeting enterprise manager cohorts.
• CoachHub: Berlin-based digital coaching and leadership development platform serving global enterprises. Comparable in blending tech-enabled delivery with manager/leadership development at enterprise scale.

Regional players

• 360Learning: French-founded collaborative learning platform serving European and US enterprises. Adjacent peer in the European enterprise L&D technology stack with overlapping buyer personas in HR/L&D.
• IFG Executive Education: French executive education and management development firm serving French enterprise clients. Comparable as a France-focused management training competitor without the integrated AI/digital platform component.

Others

• Docebo: Enterprise learning platform providing the LMS/tech layer that L&D buyers pair with content. Not a direct competitor but a partner/enabler often evaluated alongside management training platforms.
