PIM

What PIM does

Public Impact Management (PIM) is a privately held French consulting and training firm dedicated exclusively to the public sector, founded in 2010 by six experienced public-sector consulting professionals and structured as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €142,300 in capital. Headquartered in Paris with regional offices in Bordeaux, Lille, and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, the firm employs approximately 20 consultants, including a college of 9 managing partners drawn from leading consulting firms (KPMG, Mazars, Atos Consulting, Bossard Consultants) and senior government roles (notably the Direction Générale de la Modernisation de l'État).

The firm operates two core product lines. The first is Conseil (consulting), covering strategy, management and organization, information systems and digital transformation, public finance, and HR performance — delivered as bespoke, partner-led project engagements. The second is Formation (training), delivered intra and inter to major French public-sector training institutions including INET, CNFPT, ENA, and business schools; this arm has been Qualiopi certified since 22 December 2022. A dedicated Health sector offering was added to serve Regional Health Agencies (ARS), the Agence du Numérique en Santé, and territorial authorities.

PIM serves local authorities (municipalities, intercommunal structures, departments, regions), central government administrations and deconcentrated state services, social protection organizations, and public operators, and has served over 500 clients since 2010. The business model is professional services revenue: project-based engagements won primarily through French public tenders (appels d'offres), with pricing determined through competitive bidding rather than published rate cards. Go-to-market is sales-led and partner-driven, leveraging professional networks, ongoing training relationships with INET, and thought-leadership content (blog, LinkedIn) on public-sector transformation topics.
