At the heart of PAXTER’s creation: a deep-rooted belief that today’s quality of education will determine the strength of tomorrow’s societies.

Our core competence

As a consulting firm, PAXTER accompanies the full range of stakeholders in the Higher Education and Research ecosystem with their strategic thinking and the implementation of their projects, from the smallest to the most ambitious ones. It provides expert skills and guidance in a range of subjects, including pedagogical engineering. PAXTER is unique in also being a research company that contributes to shedding a light on individual initiative and public action through scientific knowledge. At the institution’s and its leaders’ service, our team brings a thoughtful and qualified third party viewpoint on these institutions, and offers coaching services to individuals or teams.

Human capital

PAXTER brings together individuals, experiences and complementary skills. Our experts – former leaders and deans of higher education institutions – and specialized consultants come from various disciplinary backgrounds, ranging from human and social sciences, to natural science, medicine, management or theology. They work in teams tailored to the specifics of every project.

Our signature: Tailored-to-Fit

Souffleur de verre

The key starting point is asking the right questions, not proffering the solution. Rather than proposing one size fits all, ready to use options, we help to build a precise diagnostic of your needs. The PAXTER method consists of seeking to understand who you are.  What are your strengths? What makes you different and unique and what are your specific expertise and human capital? What are your weaknesses, your ambitions and their constraints? Our objective: to open new possibilities, with reasonable, desirable and well thought out paths forward, while respecting your core identity, aiming to achieve concrete results and an on-going effort to put into place favourable conditions for its efficient implementation.

Our clients

At PAXTER, we have the privilege of discovering a new universe with each new client.  We provide our clients with support tailored to the nature of the project or the proposed transformation, over a period ranging from a few weeks to several years.
