La Coop Cnv

What La Coop Cnv does

La Coop CNV is a French cooperative structured as a SCIC / société anonyme à capital variable, founded on October 12, 2019, headquartered at 128 rue de la Boétie in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The cooperative specializes exclusively in Nonviolent Communication (CNV) training — the methodology developed by Marshall Rosenberg — and operates a national network of approximately 30 certified CNV trainers covering all French regions. Its clients span enterprises, hospitals and other healthcare institutions, prison administration, educational bodies, public agencies, NGOs, and individual learners. The cooperative holds Qualiopi certification (mandatory French quality standard for publicly-funded training) and a state-recognized, CPF-eligible certification titled "Dialoguer avec la CNV pour mieux coopérer," and operates under a participatory governance model as a member of the Impact France movement.

The product portfolio comprises three progressive foundational modules (introduction, opening to dialogue, practice of dialogue), supplemented by specialized workshops (e.g., expressing and hearing "no," couple relationships, anger management), team facilitation, individual coaching, skills assessments (bilan de compétences), and free webinars. Delivery is split between an open-enrollment catalog marketed via the Dendreo booking platform and bespoke intra-company programs sold directly to organizational clients. Individual pricing is €110-140 per training day; enterprise contracts are quoted on engagement basis, and CPF financing is available for the certified program.

In 2024, the cooperative trained 4,408 individuals across 396 sessions totaling 69,511 participant-hours with a 91% satisfaction rate. Since inception it has trained over 7,600 people across more than 1,245 sessions and 132,700 hours, serving 300+ organizational clients at a 95% cumulative satisfaction rate. Management cites 323% revenue growth between 2020 and 2023. The cooperative employed 26 salaried staff as of 2024 and supported six additional project carriers under the CAPE (Contrat d'appui au projet d'entreprise) scheme. Director Sylvie Coudret leads the organization, with governance exercised through the cooperative's participatory model.

Direct peers

• Akteos: French training and consultancy firm specializing in management, communication, leadership, and behavioral skills delivered via intra-company and inter-company programs. Comparable because it targets the same French enterprise buyers with similar soft-skills content (communication, conflict management, leadership) as La Coop CNV, with a more generalist positioning rather than CNV-specific.
• Association Française de Communication NonViolente (AFCNV): French national association for Nonviolent Communication, the umbrella body promoting CNV in France. Directly comparable to La Coop CNV because both are anchored in Rosenberg's CNV methodology, deliver training and certification in France, and target similar individual and institutional audiences seeking CNV competencies.
• CNVC (Center for Nonviolent Communication): International organization founded by Marshall B. Rosenberg that owns and stewards the CNV methodology and certifies trainers globally. Comparable because it is the source authority and global training/certification body for the exact methodology La Coop CNV delivers, though it operates primarily as a non-profit rather than a commercial training company.

Broad incumbents

• M2i Formation: One of France's leading independent training providers with a national footprint and Qualiopi-certified catalogue across IT, digital, management, and soft skills. Comparable because it competes directly for the same French intra-company and inter-company training contracts and offers CPF-eligible certifications, but at significantly larger scale.
• Cegos: France's largest corporate training group offering a broad catalogue of management, leadership, and soft-skills programs to enterprises and individuals. Comparable because it sells into the same French corporate L&D buyer and competes for the same intra-company training budgets, but with a far broader portfolio that includes management, digital, and compliance training beyond CNV.
• Orsys: Major French professional training company delivering thousands of inter-company and intra-company sessions across IT, management, and personal development. Comparable because it serves the same mid-market and enterprise buyers for soft-skills and behavioral training, with similar Qualiopi-style infrastructure and a CPF-eligible catalogue.
• EFE (Éditions Formation Entreprises): Established French professional training brand offering conferences, intra-company programs, and certifications across HR, management, compliance, and soft skills. Comparable because it competes for the same French enterprise training budget, often with intra-company and custom-program delivery similar to La Coop CNV, though with a broader portfolio.
• ID Formation / AFTRAL: Large French professional training group with a national network of centers and Qualiopi-certified programs across multiple specialties including transport, safety, and soft skills. Comparable because it competes for the same French B2B and individual training contracts, with an extensive regional footprint that mirrors La Coop CNV's nationwide trainer network.

Regional players

• IFCAM: Group training entity of Crédit Agricole, delivering large-scale professional and soft-skills training programs to bank employees across France. Comparable because it operates in the same professional training market with intra-company programs targeting behavioral and relational skills, though specialized to a single industry (banking).

Emerging players

• CooperationS: French cooperative offering training, coaching, and consulting around cooperation, sociocracy, and non-violent practices. Comparable because it shares both the cooperative ownership structure and the CNV-adjacent methodology focus, though it tends to position around governance and collective intelligence rather than pure CNV communication training.
