since 2001, two new strong axes: expertise and business abroad

In 2002, proGective restructures itself in-depth to achieve its diversification. Indeed, its competitive advantage lies in its capacity to dig in new fields, not to plough the same ones indefinitely.

Although the territorial French ‘prospective’ remains a recognised competence of proGective, it is not any more one new field. If proGective wants to continue to advance, it is necessary for it thus to conquer new spaces of knowledge.

Little by little, the expertise of proGective in integral foresight (and not only territorial) starts to be recognized. The constant effort of scientific publication contributes to it, as well as obtaining contracts on new topics (energy, the Mediterranean, agriculture, education, etc.

proGective’s reputation is now well-established, not only as a methodologist in Futures Studies but also as a specialist in futures-oriented contents.

The international orientation of proGective is also manifest since 2001. The requests from other countries multiply, as well as the publications in English language. In 2005, Fabienne GOUX-BAUDIMENT, its director, has been elected president of the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF): recognition of the insertion of proGective in the international community.

Lastly, in 2006, proGective’s turnover has reflected the swing of its activity to the international one: more half has been carried out abroad

1994 to 2000, from creation to consolidation

August 1994, the statutes of the limited liability company are deposited; September 1994, the first call for tender is won.

Then the growth management will be done in multiple directions:

• recruitment and staff management (up to eight paid)

• commercial development (business breakfasts, newsletter ANTIDOTE, events, launching of the website in 1998)

• structuring of the back-office and constant improvement by experimentation (resource centre, databases, system of survey and indexing)

• launch of an Italian subsidiary company (which will be transformed into a network of partners after the election of the BERLUSCONI government).

Meanwhile, the credibility and the competence of proGective are built over the satisfaction of our clients and the quality of our publications.
