A modern vision of consulting
Since 2012, the aSpark firm has been assisting its clients with transformation and innovation projects. From the beginning, the firm’s founder, Aurélie Gauthier, envisioned aSpark as a product, a product she has continuously refined in a process of ongoing improvement (“lean startup”). Since aSpark is anything but static, the firm encourages its clients to work differently by making their professional practices agile. Clients of aSpark learn to break down their projects into a series of short cycles, which allows them to advance through successive iterations.
Autonomy at the core of aSpark’s strategy
aSpark is a simplified joint-stock company (SAS), which allows all consultants to be considered as associates, regardless of the amount of share capital they hold. By creating a SAS, Aurélie Gauthier aimed to offer her consultants both a great deal of freedom and a certain stability. For instance, they can choose the missions on which they work and decide on their own work-life balance. Indirectly, aSpark’s clients benefit from this unique organization, as they are assured of being supported by motivated and relevant consultants—since these consultants volunteer for their topics.
