Who are we ?
Pluricité Group
Pluricité was created in 2004, in the Lyon area. Its origin is the group’s DNA: Thibaut Desjonquères, an economic researcher (LSE) and Paul Garcia, manager of a structure for integration through economic reinsertion structure in Vaulx-Velin, created Pluricité after several years of supporting people who were far from employment in companies. Over the years, Pluricité has established itself as a pragmatic consulting firm in the fields of evaluation and management of social, territorial and employment policies. From encounter to opportunities, Pluricité has been enriched by new skills that have expanded the range of services and thematic expertise.
These skills have been assimilated and developed by improving governance and by building up strong centres of expertise. Today with 20 consultants, 5 partners and 4 entities provide the best level of expertise in each field.
- Expertise : Pluricité Group offers a reliable team, with a high level of seniority, supported by a strong R&D and a permanent cross-fertilisation between methodological and thematic expertise.
- Innovation: We place methodological innovation and R&D at the heart of our research, consulting, training and technical assistance approaches. Innovation is an essential driving force, to generate “societal value” in a sustainable way.
- Pluricité continuously monitors trends in socio-economic, institutional, and technological change. Pluricité is involved in various experiments, both social and technological, as illustrated in our fab lab. Digital innovation has led to several online services and platforms created or maintained by Pluricité as “side products” of our consultancy activity.
- Confidence in collective intelligence and benevolence: Since its origin, Pluricité has been attentive to stakeholder’s association and devotes a significant part of its work to listening to audiences and echoing faint voices. This position is based on practices developed by our R&D (Anim’Acteur, training, scribing, etc.).
- Lessons learned : Pluricité devotes significant resources to capitalize on the lessons learned from our works (teaching, collaborations with researchers and research laboratories, recruitment of PhDs and PhD students, participation in collective intelligence networks such as the SFE, publication in journals and communications, etc.).
- Technical proficiency : Each trade has its tools, we have our own, sharpened and improved for each mission. In the consulting sector, Pluricité stands out for its equal mastery of robust quantitative methods, qualitative approaches in the field, and assiduous practice of participatory approaches.
- Adaptability : Our stance is at the crossroads of several principles, with an ambition going beyond the simple accomplishment of a job, an attitude of dialogue, “tailor-made” approaches. Being attentive to changes and demands, analysing, learning, exchanging, sharing… then evolving, changing, adjusting, questioning and progressing: all this knowledge will be just as useful to you as our skills and know-how in the field of the missions entrusted to us.
- Partnerships : Pluricité sets up intervention teams with research laboratories, independent experts, specialised consulting firms, but also usage experts: inhabitants, residents, company managers, local decision-makers, NGO’s.
