BARTLE, THE CONSULTING FIRM
THAT GIVES LIFE TO NEW IDEAS

For decision makers who want to instill entrepreneurial energy and reinvent their models, Bartle leverages the human power that can give life to new ideas.

Entrepreneurial audacity

As constant change becomes the new normal in business, how can you find the energy, time and perspective you need?

Long-standing businesses are reaching saturation. Competition is intensifying. The cards of the business game are being shuffled and re-dealt quickly. The climate emergency is the challenge of our century. Expectations are evolving. In this setting, the challenge for every decision maker – from the executive committee to the project manager – is to maintain a broad and comprehensive vision, while accelerating the company’s sustainable transformation.

Yet this is no small feat, as it requires one to:

  • Keep up the pace, despite the unprecedented rate of innovation cycles, and keep cool when reducing time-to-market becomes an obsession.
  • Manage the human factor, as operational staff risk being overwhelmed by the frenetic pace of the market.
  • Address the climate challenge, which is a priority for everyone – from consumers to legislators.

A strategy conceived for your business
and only your business

Each company is unique in its organisation and its culture. As such, it deserves a customised consulting approach, a project strategy defined at the granular level and total commitment to implement the right operational responses.

At Bartle, we believe this kind of support is forged over the long term, where our actions are focused on your success. 

We measure that success at company scale: from the renewed confidence of your principals to concrete results yielded by work carried out with the whole group. We advocate a pragmatic, vertical approach to give our partners in-depth support and produce tangible results.

The Bartle
promise

To enable decision makers to rekindle their entrepreneurial energy, to help them break with outdated philosophies, and to reinvent their business and social models to unlock a fighting spirit and agility they can put to work for their customers.

A consulting
firm?

The Bartle spirit is a unique alchemy of business line and sector-specific expertise, fresh points of view and an uninhibited approach to business.

Our unusual growth model has proven itself: the trust of our customers and the commitment of our teams have enabled our firm to achieve 30% to 40% organic growth per year in the last few years.

Rule breakers

Our firm was originally conceived as an innovation laboratory organised around an ecosystem of partners. Our talented staff assist our clients in refining their visions or managing their projects in a wide array of business sectors and functions. We offer our clients a constantly renewed consulting approach to help them succeed in their transformation projects.

Multiple specialities to cover your need for expertise

Our favourite topics are marketing/customer experience, digital transformation, supply chain, CSR/circular economy, property, finance and auditing/internal control. The experts at Bartle are particularly skilled in the fields of mobility and transport, logistics, retail/mass consumption, financial services, and energy.

A pioneer in virtuous growth

As our B Corp certification attests, we stand for virtuous growth. Indeed, Bartle was recently included among the “500 Growth Champions” (ranking by Les Échos/Statista) for the fifth time. Our success comes in large part from our ability to detect weak signals and to anticipate the changes they are likely to bring.

Bartle,
a collective journey begun in 2005

Bartle sprang from the shared goal of its two founding partners, Max-Hervé Dujardin and Patrick Nicolle: to reinvent management consulting by offering tailored support to clients, breaking with the standardised methods that dominated the consulting market at the time.

Bartle was founded in 2005, and its journey continues today with the same emphasis on people and sharing.

Our firm is now led by a gifted management team comprising 17 partners and 19 directors. Transparent governance is a guiding principle: all our team members are encouraged to speak up and to choose how they participate in Bartle’s growth.

Every project deserves
a valuable team

We believe that each voice matters

Each employee is invited to express himself or herself freely, to contribute, and to contradict, which fosters the emergence of big ideas and a variety of thought. We offer a great degree of freedom to encourage initiative.

We design each project as a set of competencies and affinities

Our firm is organised like a neural network: we are always open to hybridisation which can generate both innovation and differentiating approaches. At Bartle, our commitment communities take the place of business units, reflecting a transverse organisation where knowledge and expertise are shared. The communities are open to all and are in constant interaction, cross-pollinating and co-constructing.
