Profile
No change, not even digital change,
can be a success without people
Cepheïd Consulting was founded on two convictions:
No ecosystem is safe from digital upheavals
Digital systems dramatically change relationships within an ecosystem: new relations are forged, people find themselves out of position even sidelined whilst others have new, added-value roles...
Business models must be revised and reinterpreted to anticipate these upheavals and create new opportunities.
Successful and sustainable change is not passive
Anticipation and organisation, support and meaning are essential more than ever when hierarchical and traditional decision-making structures are dramatically altered through demand for responsiveness and evolving work resources and methods.
Change can be accelerated when every employee becomes an active part of the process.
Sustainable innovation, through
support and availability
Our consultants support our customers in the creation, implementation and transformation of their business models to embrace the digital world and all the opportunities it provides. We provide pragmatic, "outside the box" solutions.
Our deepest conviction is that it is people not technological expertise who make these changes succeed. We build tailored approaches working closely with our customers upstream of the project, right down to the launch.
Our approach is very open, taking into account all your constraints and all the stakeholders in your ecosystem, teamwork with no preconceptions. We are looking for sustainable impact, not futureless solutions.
From our very beginnings, we have advocated consulting methods that are far from the traditional approach. We are as comfortable with executive strategy decisions as we are working closely with teams in the field.

The founders
The consultancy was founded in 2006 by two consultants with complementary profiles, heavily involved in corporate transformation and the emergence of new business models. One had a traditional consultant's career path, the other the experience of a dot-com in Silicon Valley before his involvement with a company specialising in mobile phone services.
