COOPREX INTERNATIONAL

What COOPREX INTERNATIONAL does

COOPREX International is a privately-held French consulting firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Venette (Compiègne), Hauts-de-France. The firm delivers participatory change-management services to four end markets — enterprises and industrial sites, sanitary and medico-social establishments (ESSMS), educational institutions, and local/territorial governments — using two proprietary methodologies: PAT-Miroir© (Peurs-Attraits-Tentations en Miroir), a structured facilitation method that maps stakeholder fears, attractions, and temptations to co-construct consensual action plans, and Diapason©, a card-based serious game that produces a shared diagnostic and operational action paths within a single workshop day. Both methodologies derive from 25 years of academic research conducted at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) under Professor Emeritus Gilles Le Cardinal, and are registered trademarks.

The business model is professional-services-led with three revenue streams: (i) bespoke consulting engagements delivered directly by COOPREX practitioners (workshops and longer transformation accompaniment using PAT-Miroir©/Diapason©), (ii) open-enrollment and in-house training programs (Diapason© Découverte D1 and Diapason© Certification D2, plus an Introduction to Change Management course, all Qualiopi-certified), and (iii) practitioner certification and licensing that creates an embedded network of internally certified change agents within client organizations (e.g., FM Logistic). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per engagement.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, anchored in thought leadership (podcasts and blog authored by Gilles Le Cardinal), academic-credibility partnerships with UTC and TREMPLIN UTC, public-sector and industry events (REP25, Entreprises et Territoires salons), and referrals reinforced by a published client-testimonial library spanning Air France, Groupe UGECAM, FAGERH, Mairie de Quimper, SYCTOM, OLEON Venette, Groupe AHNAC, and others. The firm operates with 1–10 employees, has accompanied 200+ organizations since founding, runs 1,000+ workshop participants per year, and reports a 98% participant satisfaction rate. President Thomas de La Bigne, an industrial veteran from Altran Technologie and PSA Peugeot Citroën, has led the company since 2023.

Direct peers

• BPI Group: BPI Group is a French management consulting firm with a strong change management and organizational transformation practice, serving enterprises and public-sector clients. It is a direct domestic competitor for COOPREX in the French change management consulting market.
• Prosci: Prosci is a US-headquartered research and training firm specializing in change management methodology (the Prosci ADKAR model) and certification programs. It directly parallels COOPREX in offering proprietary change management methodology, structured practitioner training, and certification-based practitioner networks.
• Kotter International: Kotter International commercializes Professor John Kotter's 8-step change methodology from Harvard, offering advisory, training, and certification around a proprietary framework — directly comparable to COOPREX's academic-anchored, trademarked methodology (PAT-Miroir©, Diapason©).
• Kea & Partners: Kea & Partners is a French strategy and transformation consulting firm with a notable change management practice serving CAC 40 and mid-cap clients. Comparable as a similarly sized French transformation consultancy competing for change mandates.
• Eurogroup Consulting: Eurogroup Consulting is a French-origin consulting firm with established change management and public-sector transformation practices, frequently competing in the same RFP processes as COOPREX, particularly for territorial collectivities and public institutions.

Broad incumbents

• BearingPoint: BearingPoint is a European management and technology consultancy with transformation and change management capabilities serving both private and public sector clients across multiple geographies. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering similar services at larger scale.
• Wavestone: Wavestone is a major French-origin consulting firm with deep change management, organizational transformation, and HR transformation practices serving large enterprises and public institutions. It competes for similar mandates but operates at significantly larger scale.
• McKinsey & Company (Change Management Practice): McKinsey operates a global Organizational Practice covering change management, transformation, and capability building for large enterprises. Comparable only at the broad incumbent level — it offers overlapping capabilities but does not specialize in COOPREX's niche participatory methodology.

Others

• UTC - Université de Technologie de Compiègne (Research Partner): UTC Compiègne is COOPREX's academic and intellectual partner, hosting the 25 years of research that produced PAT-Miroir© and Diapason©. Not a competitor but the foundational R&D counterpart; included for context on the firm's scientific backbone.
• CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers) - Transformation Research Units: CNAM hosts French academic research on organizational transformation, learning, and innovation. Not a commercial peer but thematically adjacent as a knowledge producer in the same transformation space where COOPREX positions its scientific methodology.
