Fédération Francophone des Professionnels de l'Organisation - FFPO

What Fédération Francophone des Professionnels de l'Organisation - FFPO does

Fédération Francophone des Professionnels de l'Organisation (FFPO) is a French non-profit professional federation founded in April 2017 by 8 confirmed organizers to unite, professionalize, and gain recognition for the organizing profession across francophone countries. Registered as an Association 1901 in Seine et Marne and headquartered in Trumilly, France, the federation is governed by a volunteer board (president Camille Hecker, vice-president communication Eliette Barrier, vice-presidents for France/Belgium/Switzerland, treasurer, secretary) and operates with roughly 7 staff alongside member volunteers. It serves 165+ professional organizers (some federation pages cite 180+) across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Côte d'Ivoire, Luxembourg, Greece, and Japan, with three primary specializations: Home Organising, Home Management, and Office Organising.

The federation's product surface is non-technological. Core offerings include an annual membership with a binding Code Déontologique, a searchable and geolocated online member directory (Annuaire des Membres), professional training delivered by member trainers (e.g., Pauline Levasseur's Qualiopi-certified program, Elodie Boulard's La Fée du Tri training), and a recurring event calendar: JAPO (annual conference since 2019, 230+ participants in 2024), SOR (a public awareness week, 3rd edition in 2023), Rencontres FFPO (member-only gatherings), and World Organizing Day (IFPOA). Underlying technology is minimal — a WordPress site on OVH, Mailchimp for newsletters, and YouTube/Instagram/LinkedIn/Facebook channels — with no proprietary platform, app, or AI tooling.

Revenue mechanics are those of a classic professional association: recurring annual membership dues from individual professionals, plus event participation fees. The federation also derives reputational value from strategic alliances with international peers (NAPO, APDO, IFPOA) and French public institutions (ADEME's 2021 "Osez changer" decluttering pilot), but these are non-paying collaborations rather than commercial revenue lines. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no commercial shareholders — consistent with a member-driven, non-profit operating model.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• AAPO (Australasian Association of Professional Organisers): Peak body for professional organizers across Australia and New Zealand. Comparable professional federation model with membership, code of ethics, and annual conference; serves as a regional benchmark outside Europe.
• Professional Organizers of Canada (POC): Canadian national association for professional organizers offering membership, training, and conferences. Functionally identical to FFPO but operating in North America; useful comparable for member growth and event economics.

Emerging players

• La Fée du Tri / Elodie Boulard: Home organising and training business founded by FFPO member trainer Elodie Boulard, running a national network of 25 trained ambassadrices and a community of 100+ organisers. Sits inside FFPO but operates as an independent training brand that competes for the same audience.
• Temps et Equilibre: Training and consulting business founded by FFPO co-founder Diane Ballonad Rolland, hosting the Académie des Pros de l'Organisation. A federation-affiliated training brand offering organising certification pathways that parallel FFPO's own training product.

Direct peers

• APDO (Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers): UK trade association for professional declutterers and organisers founded in 2004 with 180+ members. Directly comparable to FFPO in scope, size, and francophone/anglophone mission, and is an official FFPO partner.
• ICD (Institute for Challenging Disorganization): US-based membership organization serving professional organizers with a focus on chronic disorganization, hoarding, and ADHD-related challenges. Comparable in mission and structure to FFPO and a likely future IFPOA counterpart.
• NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers): US-based national association of professional organizers founded in 1983 with 4,000+ members. It is FFPO's closest international counterpart, offering membership, a code of ethics, and an annual conference; FFPO has a strategic partnership with NAPO.

Others

• BOOM (Association des Office Managers): French professional network for Office Managers, referenced by FFPO as an adjacent profession. Targets the same office-organisation buyer and competes for the office-organiser member segment.
• Club des Office Managers: Another French professional community for Office Managers. Adjacent rather than direct overlap, but pulls from the same pool of office-organisation professionals FFPO aims to serve.

Broad incumbents

• IFPOA (International Federation of Professional Organizing Associations): Umbrella "federation of federations" coordinating national organizer associations worldwide. It is one organizational layer above FFPO and a strategic partner via World Organizing Day.
