Combining HR Consulting and Action Research to Act with Rigor and Precision
Because human and organizational challenges deserve responses both grounded in reality and informed by science, action research is the preferred method for carrying out our consulting projects.
This applied scientific approach uses research investigation tools to deeply explore an HR issue, engage the relevant stakeholders, and act with precision in complex environments.
The approach unfolds in four key stages:
Explore Together
Understanding the field before acting.
Listening to stakeholders, gathering lived experiences, and observing the concrete realities of the work. This phase helps reveal the real issues and underlying dynamics.
Enlighten with Science
Clarifying the meaning of concepts to set clear intentions and goals.
Documenting to draw inspiration and avoid repeating past mistakes.
Anticipating social dynamics (barriers and resistance to change).
Co-construct with Initiators, Actors and Users
Bringing together initiators, field actors, and end users.
Collectively defining the project’s purpose, guiding principles, and levers for action.
Jointly setting the frameworks that will guide implementation.
Measure the Impact and Efficiency of the Project
Evaluating what changes to strengthen outcomes.
Analyzing the project’s effects, highlighting key learnings, adjusting actions, and identifying the levers that will anchor lasting change.
