Who we are
The only constant in life is change! To be sustainable over time, organizations of all shapes and sizes — businesses, public authorities and social enterprises alike — must learn to understand societal evolutions and continually adapt their offerings. Chronos decodes emergent practices and public services and helps its clients develop innovation strategies and manage change.
Our expertise extends across four areas: research and analysis, strategic foresight, change management and innovation research and implementation. Chronos combines its competencies in these areas as needed to target the specific needs of its clients.
Our work focuses primarily on emergent urban and regional practices related to mobility, working habits, consumption, housing and uses of public space. We also look at how digital technologies contribute to public services development, governance and business models.
In France, Chronos is a social enterprise. We have been a member of the SOS Group since 2015.
