Competences Conseil

What Competences Conseil does

Compétences Conseil is a French human-relations consulting firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Vayres, near Bordeaux, operating as a SARLU (single-member limited liability company) under the legal name « Les Consultants RH associés ». The practice is led by founder Patrice Couric, a psychosociologist, and is narrowly specialized in the sanitary and social sector — providing organizational audits, change management accompaniment, conflict mediation (including social mediation and negotiation), and project accompaniment to French healthcare and social-sector institutions.

The firm delivers two core service lines. The first, « Accompagnement et Audits », is the consulting practice: audits of workplace relationships, change management, conflict resolution, and project-level support, delivered on-site at client organizations. The second is a Qualiopi-certified training organization (Organisme de Formation, declaration no. 72 33 04160 33, registered with the Préfecture de la région Nouvelle Aquitaine) that delivers professional development to health and social-sector staff. Underlying technology is essentially nil — the firm is a pure human-delivery professional services practice with no software, platform, or AI components; distribution is direct consulting engagement and a basic WordPress website with a contact form.

Revenue is generated through billable consulting hours and project-based engagements, priced on a quote basis and structured as multi-year contracts. Customers are exclusively institutional — public university hospitals (CHU Bordeaux, Caen, Nice, Lille), regional hospitals (CH Libourne, Côte Basque, Périgueux, Agen-Nérac, Marmande-Tonneins, Angoulême, Perrens, Cadillac), an oncology institute (Institut Bergonié), a regional blood service (EFS Nouvelle Aquitaine), a home-care provider (Santé Service Bayonne), elderly care facilities (Ehpad de Coutras, Ambès, Château Gardères), disability organizations (APF France Handicap, ADAPEI), and NGOs (Médecins du Monde, GAPS, COREVIH). Marketing is minimal — a company website, direct phone/email contact with the founder, and reputational referrals within the French public health and social sector.

Broad incumbents

• Wavestone: Major French-origin consulting firm with a dedicated People & Change practice serving healthcare and public-sector clients — a broad incumbent that competes for the same hospital and public-sector HR transformation budgets as Compétences Conseil.
• KPMG France (People & Change Advisory): Big-Four advisory with a People & Change practice active in French public-sector and healthcare HR transformation — competes for the same hospital CHUs and EHPADs that Compétences Conseil serves, but with much broader capability.
• Capgemini Invent (People & Organization practice): Global consulting arm of Capgemini offering organizational change and HR transformation services to large French healthcare and public-sector clients, representing the kind of scaled competitor Compétences Conseil faces on enterprise accounts.

Direct peers

• Alixio: France-headquartered HR consulting firm offering change management, organizational transformation, and social-dialogue advisory — directly comparable services to Compétences Conseil's accompaniment and audit practice, though at a larger scale.
• BPI Group: France-based HR and organizational transformation consultancy with practices in talent, leadership, and change management — comparable to Compétences Conseil's offerings, particularly in regulated and public-sector contexts.
• Act Consultants: Bordeaux-based HR and management consultancy with practice areas in organizational audits, change management, and training — a local French peer with directly overlapping services and a comparable focus on Nouvelle Aquitaine.
• Ayming: International consulting firm with a strong HR and organizational performance practice in France, advising on workforce transformation, change, and HR efficiency — overlapping with Compétences Conseil's healthcare and public-sector engagements.

Emerging players

• RHesia: Specialized French HR and organizational development consultancy focused on quality of life at work (QVT) and healthcare/social-sector clients — a niche, emerging player that overlaps with Compétences Conseil's psychosociology-driven offerings.

Regional players

• Tenth Revolution (HR & Change practice): French HR and organizational consulting firm providing change management and HR advisory to French enterprises and public-sector organizations, including healthcare actors — directly comparable in scope and geographic focus.

Others

• AFNOR Certification (HR & Training): French certification body relevant as an ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor — relevant because Compétences Conseil holds Qualiopi certification, the same standard AFNOR-related bodies audit, illustrating the regulatory/training infrastructure around the firm.
