Consulting

Presentation

The Consulting Division provides consulting aimed at supporting small and mid-size enterprises in their growth and performance, while allowing their executives to take a step back from their issues.

The Consulting Division’s services focus on three major issues:
1.    Accelerating growth
2.    Increasing productivity
3.    Sustaining development

The Consulting team issues diagnostics on the company’s key areas. The current offering therefore includes 12 modules:

• The 360° diagnostic to target areas for growth
• The strategy to propel the company forward in the short and medium terms
• The organisation, HR, and management to involve employees and streamline decision-making
• Digital technology to drive the transition
• Industrial support to optimise operating efficiency
• Future-facing industry, for digitised factories and logistics
• The information system, to optimise the performance of tools
• International focus, to conquer the world
• Commercial focus, to boost its sales force
• Relationships with key accounts, to foster solid agreement
• Transmission and governance, to sustain the company
• External growth, for successful acquisitions.

Each assignment is carried out by a two-person team, consisting of a Bpifrance Consulting Manager and a specialised consultant. Assignments last 8-10 days over a course of 8-10 weeks and take place in three phases: kick-off, diagnostic, and closing and recommendation.

Bpifrance covers 50% of the cost of the assignment for companies it funds or in which it holds equity.

This unique model, developed internally, is based on two key aspects: service quality (supervised by the Bpifrance Consulting Manager) and consultant expertise (based on a demanding empowerment process). Additionally, at the end of an assignment, each client completes a questionnaire.

Who is it for?

The proposed solution is for any executive seeking support in developing business growth.
