Our organisational structure

Against a backdrop of heightened international competition, businesses are facing major challenges.

To assist them, the government has to constantly renew its means of intervention and must be able to marshal new skills rapidly. As part of this, in a bid to boost its operational capacities, in September 2019 the DGE announced a restructuring, introducing an innovative, project-based approach.

A project-based mode at central level

A project approach was implemented throughout the Directorate.

The new organisation distinguishes between:

• structural assignments (sector and regulatory monitoring, administrative supervision, coordination of the government’s regional Economic Departments, etc.)
• high-impact assignments performed in project mode (managing strategic plans, structuring industrial offerings in conjunction with the various sectors, designing new public policy instruments, organising major national and international events, etc.)

Within the departments, each division is responsible for a portfolio of major projects within its sphere of action. Project teams are led by project managers, a new role introduced as part of reorganisation efforts. Staff are provided with in-house training and coaching aimed at promoting new work methods that harness the potential of digital tools, and at developing a culture of impact. Deputy positions have been eliminated at all levels and memos are now paperless to speed up decision-making.

The DGE’s transformation signals a fundamental change in its work culture, which is now aimed at making management more responsive, more effective and more operational. These innovations enable the Directorate to offer a stimulating work environment and a high level of responsibility to its employees, who are given the chance to develop their skills.

• The Industry Department

Une démarche écoresponsable

En complément du plan « Bercy vert » du ministère de l'Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique, la DGE mène une démarche écoresponsable pour réduire son empreinte carbone sur l’ensemble des postes d’émission du quotidien.

Elle s'organise autour de six axes, accompagnés de mesures concrètes :

1. Réduire l'empreinte carbone des déplacements de la direction
2. Encourager le recours à une alimentation plus durable
3. Encourager la réduction de la consommation d'énergie
4. Réduire et encourager le tri et le recyclage des déchets
5. Développer le numérique responsable
6. Familiariser les agents aux enjeux et outils de la transition écologique
