			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the context of conferences on business succession, last Wednesday, February 15<sup>th</sup>, François Cyr shared his experience with the participants of this meeting organized by the <a title="Centre d'entrepreneurship HEC-POLY-U de M" href="http://neumann.hec.ca/entrepreneurship/fr/index.htm" target="_blank">Centre d&#8217;entrepreneurship HEC-Poly-UdeM</a>, the <a title="Centre international des familles en affaires McGill-HEC Montréal" href="http://expertise.hec.ca/famillesenaffaires/" target="_blank">Centre international des familles en affaires McGill-HEC Montréal</a> and the <a title="Club d'ingénieurs entrepreneurs" href="http://cie-montreal.com/" target="_blank">Club d&#8217;ingénieurs entrepreneurs</a>. This conference focused on the human dimension of business transfer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this meeting Mr Cyr spoke about his own experience and that of Ms Solange Freneau, in Techfab and <a title="Jetcut" href="http://www.jetcut.ca/" target="_blank">Jetcut</a><a href="http://techfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/110722-0912112.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-650" title="François Cyr" src="http://techfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/110722-0912112.jpg" alt="110722 0912112 TechFab, thriving business succession" width="190" height="286" /></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He spoke about the process that had started when they took over from Techfab Gautier in 2010 and the changes operated in the organization by acquiring Jetcut.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is important during the transfer that the buyers, Mr Cyr and Ms Freneau, must play a leadership role because they have to innovate, to evolve maintaining the expertise, the experience and the values that were transmitted by the founders of these companies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you look at the results of Techfab, we can ensure that this succession has been successful since, Mr Cyr and Ms Fresneau have managed to mobilize and involve all their employees around this business project; they knew how to assume their leadership role and continue to create the necessary conditions to stand out and succeed in a highly competitive market.</p>

Its purpose is to bring children to choose healthier habits in their everyday life, so that these habits may become the norm for future generations. It also seeks to raise parents’ awareness of the importance of physical activity and healthy eating for their children’s health and, of course, for their own health.</p>
