Icsi, a team on a human scale
Icsi, a team on a human scale
| Small team, big projects! |
Icsi’s strength lies in its dynamic and curious team. A friendly bunch, who love to talk about their work, we have very different backgrounds – not to mention personalities, which makes for a lively working environment! Kindness, independence, sharing... working at Icsi means being part of a team.
The team in France
In France, the Icsi team consists of about twenty members, working on the following activities:
- development: the team bring the community together and lead the development of new projects that draw upon Icsi’s know-how and methods
- operations: this team is responsible for all of the support and training activities that Icsi members engage in to change their safety culture
- communications: here, the mission is to spread the safety culture message to as many people as possible
- science: the team provide scientific inputs and outputs, based on academic research
- the general secretariat: the administrative, financial, IT and communications team
- and general management.

Our branch in Latin America
In Argentina, we have 4 members of staff who are working to develop a safety culture in Latin America. Located in Buenos Aires, the office supports local Icsi members in their efforts to develop a safety culture. It offers professional training (including certification programs) in both face-to-face and online formats, and runs community activities such as a discussion group and free webinars.
Both teams work together to develop the Institute’s theoretical and practical programs. These include safety culture, risk management during the COVID epidemic, or the industry of the future.
| Governance |
Governance bodies
Icsi’s strategy is guided by its executive committee, and 3 governance bodies representing the interests of its members:
- The General Meeting: sets annual objectives, determines budgets and decides on major projects.
- The Board of Directors: regularly monitors the Institute’s operations.
- The Policy and Evaluation Council: guides new initiatives, and validates the quality of deliverables.
The secretariat
- André-Claude Lacoste, President
- Jöel Bertrand (CNRS), Treasurer
- Isabelle Delobel (SNCF), Secretary-General
- Amed Abzizi (Total), Vice President
André-Claude Lacoste, President
"A global change is underway in the world, with the COVID-19 crisis, but also with climate change. Our systems – and Icsi – must become more resilient in order to meet future challenges. This context requires Icsi to re-examine the needs of its members, and the notions of working together and ‘public service’ must, more than ever, serve as a compass to guide Icsi’s work with its members on topics of shared interest".
