Consulting practice

Consulting firm for SMEs and mid-sized companies: decide before you invest

Before committing a budget, you know what will pay off in your company, in what order and at what cost. Then you execute on your own or with our AI and Digital practices.

When an executive calls on the Consulting practice

Bonne Idée’s Consulting practice works with the leaders of SMEs and mid-sized companies. People call us when a decision is stuck: an AI tool tested without anyone knowing what it brings in, a digital project that has stalled, an organization that growth has outpaced, paid tools the team doesn’t use.

Once the decision is made, you choose: execute on your own, hand execution over to us, or keep a team at your side with the Partner offer. To execute an AI roadmap with regular support, see the advisory work of an AI consultant.

Why us

What sets us apart from a traditional consulting firm

We deliver what we recommend

Behind us are the production teams of the AI and Digital practices: if the recommendation is to build, we build. So we have every reason to recommend only what is feasible, where a traditional firm hands over a report and leaves.

Executive to executive

A Bonne Idée executive carries your project from the first meeting to delivery. He has led teams, in France and internationally, and you don't re-explain your context to a junior consultant at every step.

A team for the price of one FTE

With the Partner offer, you have a team of strategy, AI and digital specialists every month for the budget of one full-time position, with no commitment beyond the current month. Our structure pays for neither prestige offices nor layers of management.

Our method

How it works

Two weeks of audit, then a six-month roadmap.

  1. 1

    The interviews

    We start from what is stuck: a project that isn't moving, an organization outpaced by its growth, an investment nobody can decide on. The interviews are held with the people who do the work, not only with the management committee.

    YouOpen up a few calendars.
    UsWhat is stuck, as told by those who live it.
  2. 2

    Data, not impressions

    Your figures, your tools, what actually happens day to day. A diagnosis built on impressions gets argued over; one built on data leads to a decision.

    YouGive us access to your data.
    UsThe current state, in numbers.
  3. 3

    Costing each workstream

    Cost, timeline, expected gain, risk. Including for the workstreams we advise you against.

    YouNothing.
    UsThe possible workstreams, costed one by one.
  4. 4

    The decision

    We decide together what gets done, what waits and what won't be done. Launching three workstreams with a team that can handle one is the most common failure scenario.

    YouHalf a day of decision-making.
    UsThe plan of action, in writing.
  5. 5

    The six-month roadmap, then execution

    A document your teams can execute on their own. What comes next is up to you: you execute, or we execute with you.

    YouDecide what comes next, with no commitment.
    UsThe roadmap, and a costing of the execution if you entrust it to us.
