Co.devenir

What Co.devenir does

Co.devenir (legal entity Co.Devenir SAS) is a French boutique professional services firm founded in 2017 by Emmanuel Lavergne and headquartered in Saint-Cyr-l'École, with a Paris ancillary office. The firm specializes in developing entrepreneurial mindset and leadership capability inside organizations, operating as a coaching and organizational transformation consultancy. Its core offerings are organized into two flagship suites — 'Offre Impulsion et Changement' and 'Offre Dynamiques Managériales' — supplemented by individual executive coaching, team coaching, multimodal managerial development programs (master-classes, 180° feedback, action challenges), and Learning Expeditions to Canada (Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal) or France. The firm commercializes a proprietary self-assessment tool, the Totem de l'Accomplissement® (under 20 questions, 225 combinations across four dimensions), inspired by published works of Tim Hurston, Clayton Christensen, and Tom Kelley.

Co.devenir's methodology blends established frameworks — Lencioni's five-component team model, Belbin team roles, DISC, EQ-i, MBTI, Hogan, and ikigai — alongside systemic coaching, transactional analysis, and proprietary co-development approaches. Coaching delivery is EMCC-code-of-ethics-compliant and delivered by a bench of 15+ named experts including former executives, a Canadian professor of organizational psychology, and certified practitioners spanning finance, HR, strategy, digital, and sociology. The firm runs a registered training organization (DARIC 11788438378) and is a signed member of the UN Global Compact and LabRH.

The business model is entirely bespoke, sales-led, and professional services-based — every engagement is scoped through a customized proposal with no public pricing. Revenue streams are individual coaching, team and leadership development programs, learning expeditions, and training/workshops. The go-to-market is direct enterprise outreach to HR departments, executive committees, and leadership teams, supplemented by a content marketing blog (40+ articles), LinkedIn presence, earned media (Forbes France), and Learning Expeditions used as both a product and a client acquisition channel. The firm is founder-owned, with no institutional investors, and reported an 80% client return rate and 90% participant recommendation rate on its homepage.
