Epigo

What Epigo does

Epigo is a Paris-based management consulting and facilitation firm founded in 1987 that helps organizations design and deploy collective intelligence, intrapreneurship, and strategic transformation programs. The firm serves three primary practice areas: Cooperation & Collective Intelligence (helping HR, managers, and executive teams adopt horizontal management and improve team functioning), Innovation & Entrepreneurship (designing intrapreneurship and Lean Startup programs for corporates and public-sector clients), and Transformation & Strategy (co-constructing vision, mission, and strategic plans with senior leadership teams).

Epigo's core intellectual property is a suite of proprietary, trademarked methodologies backed by software platforms. The Prédom model is an 8-dimension behavioral/communication profiling tool, while F.A.I.R.E is a proprietary framework for identifying entrepreneur and intrapreneur profiles, supported by the faire.pro platform with vade-mecums, team canvases, and e-learning modules. Additional methodologies include the Atelier facilitation framework (with facilitators acting as 'garde-flous'), Creative Problem Solving (CPS), and sociocracy-based La Gestion par Consentement decision-making. These tools are protected by registered trademarks and a Charte des Praticiens that certified practitioners must sign to access platform accounts.

The business model is professional services, with revenue generated from public training enrollment (inter-company, €350–€6,400 per participant), customized intra-company training, bespoke collective accompaniment and facilitation engagements, individual coaching, and academic program co-delivery. Epigo reaches clients through direct B2B sales targeting senior leadership, content marketing (blog, YouTube, newsletter), themed breakfast events, and co-branded certification programs with CNAM and Université Paris Dauphine – PSL. The firm serves a diversified portfolio of enterprise, government, and nonprofit clients including EDF, La Poste, GHS (30+ years), Clarins, Biocoop, Nexity, and Global Blue, and operates as a privately held Société Anonyme with no external investors.

• IFG (Institut de Formation en Gestion): French executive education and management training institution offering similar programs in leadership, strategy, and organizational development — comparable participant profiles and corporate training delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Wavestone: Large French-origin management and technology consulting firm serving enterprise clients across transformation, strategy, and innovation — broader scope than Epigo but overlapping in transformation and change management mandates.
• BearingPoint: Global management and technology consulting firm with significant French operations, advising large enterprises on strategy, transformation, and organizational change — competes for the same enterprise transformation mandates as Epigo.
• Roland Berger: Global strategy consulting firm with a strong French practice, advising executives on organizational transformation, strategy co-construction, and change management — overlaps with Epigo's executive-level accompaniment work.

Emerging players
