LE CUBE CONSULTANTS - FRANCE
Le Cube Consultants is a Young Innovative Company (JEI) which supports local authorities, associations and businesses in Action Research approaches in terms of territorial development and strategic communication.
To achieve this ambition, it has set itself 4 essential missions with local stakeholders:
Support for Foresight Management of Jobs, skills and career paths (GPECPP). This approach is an innovation in relation to the general management strategy and the management of territorialized human resources.
The implementation of specific training in local development oriented Human Resources dedicated to individuals and local collectives.
Proposing innovative concepts for research protocols likely to promote inclusion, sustainable development and territorial transitions.
The proposal of new forms of communication accompanied by a multimodal strategy The first of these three missions, that which concerns the GPECPP, is precisely at the heart of the cooperation partnership project. Research work as well as observations from our support show that the management of skills and activities (or GPECC) at the level of a company or territory is often the responsibility of a department or a political manager. Its complexity and its entanglement with other development strategies often make it difficult to read by other development actors and end up isolating the person who was motivated to take on the mission. The GPECPP is abandoned or integrated into other more sectoral strategies (agriculture, industry, etc.) or into other more global policies (economic development, sustainable development, etc.).
However, the skills of the women and men of the territory or company constitute a strategic, non-transferable and non-replaceable intangible resource. Based on the observation that many territories are experiencing a new land attractiveness but that this does not always benefit residents or new arrivals, Cube Consultants prepares, organizes and leads global GPECC territorial strategies.
Finally, Cube Consultants also invests in a strategic area for territorial stakeholders with regard to strategic project communication. Since its creation, LCC has acquired advanced skills in general and territorial communication.
Focused primarily on peri-urban and rural areas, Cube Consultants brings its expertise to sparsely populated areas characterized by a lack of expertise in the management of intangible resources and in particular human resources. The Cube's interventions are based on a set of values common to the territories and the participants, namely the social inclusion of populations furthest from territorial economic dynamics, humanism in the perspectives proposed and finally the preparation of ecological transition as an issue. major.
Faithful to these values, Le Cube is committed to several quality initiatives in order to achieve a high level of Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR).
