Le jour où j'ai investi le milieu du conseil

Abstract

Have we been witnessing, in recent years, an update of the question regarding the place of the researcher within public and private organizations? As we have seen with the technical and social acceleration (Rosa, 2010) ; Crises of legitimacy of traditional and decision-making systems (major consecutive protest movements over the past five years); or even, more recently, the health and social crisis; the generalization of organizational upheavals in the face of the challenges of the World is not without reviving the question. By analyzing the collaborations between researchers in the humanities and social sciences and practitioners of independent consulting firms, this contribution attempts to shed light on the current relationship between research and consulting. What representations of human sciences circulate in the professional worlds of consulting? What is the responsibility of researchers to grasp these organizational issues and (re)integrate the logic of intervention with practitioners?
