What Cap Nova-La Relationnelle does

Cap Nova-La Relationnelle is a Paris-based boutique consulting firm founded in 2015 that specializes in human-centered organizational transformation, coaching, and training for French public sector organizations. Its service portfolio spans seven interconnected pillars: organizational transformation support, collective facilitation, individual and team coaching, mediation and team regulation, training programs, conferences, and graphic facilitation, delivered through 15+ standardized training modules plus fully bespoke multi-month transformation engagements. The firm serves collectivités territoriales, public housing offices, EPCI, public enterprises, and state services across 11+ French regions, with named clients including Ville de Paris, France Travail, RATP, Haropa Port, Région Centre-Val de Loire, and EPT Est Ensemble.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing on transformation, coaching, and training engagements. It holds the Qualiopi certification for training (ACTION DE FORMATION category) and DIRRECTE approval for elected-official training, both of which are gating credentials for selling publicly-funded training in France. The firm was founded by Sandra Chélélékian, who continues to serve as Directrice Associée, and in 2024 entered a strategic association with La Relationnelle, forming the combined Cap Nova-La Relationnelle entity. The combined firm has approximately 9 total employees, of which 6 are revenue-generating consultants, supplemented by a network of partners for mission delivery.

The firm has no proprietary technology product and operates as a pure services business, with go-to-market driven by direct relationship-based outreach, client references, case studies, conference participation, and professional network referrals within the French public administration ecosystem. There is no external investment or private equity backing disclosed, and the legal entity is a privately-held French SARL (Cap Nova SARL) with a stated capital social of 8,182 EUR. Customer base comprises 45+ public organizations, providing a distributed but single-vertical revenue profile dependent on French public sector procurement and political cycles.
