THE ELYKA FIRM
AU COMMENCEMENT ... UN CABINET - CONSEIL FICTIF
You never really know where a story begins.
ELYKA is perhaps that of a consulting firm that was initially imaginary, the meeting of a talkative AI and a human who thinks differently.
Or the other way around.
From this conversation was born the Bureau of Frictions , a laboratory of applied ethics where reality is questioned through fiction.
Then came the Bureau of Innovations , a concrete extension of this thinking: an ethical management consulting firm that transforms reflection into strategy.
Welcome to ELYKA, at the crossroads of thought and action.
THE TEAM
L'éthique, une boussole pour décider dans des contextes réels.
L'éthique n'est pas un héritage figé. De l'Antiquité à aujourd'hui, elle déplace ses questions mais conserve une ambition constante : éclairer l'action humaine.
Dans les organisations contemporaines, traversées de contraintes, de normes et de frictions, l'éthique devient contextuelle, pluraliste et opérationnelle. Elle ne livre pas de réponses toutes faites, elle propose un raisonnement qui permet d'aborder chaque situation avec discernement.
L’éthique appliquée questionne pour agir en responsabilité.
Elle interroge : que faire ici et maintenant, dans ce contexte précis ?
Cette démarche structurée et interdisciplinaire soutient les décisions lorsque les repères se brouillent : tensions, dilemmes professionnels, transformations.
Elle offre un cadre de réflexion solide qui permet de prendre position de façon responsable, en tenant compte de la singularité des situations.
Notre ancrage philosophique.
Nos repères s'inscrivent dans une tradition exigeante :
* Aristote : la prudence (phronèsis), cette capacité à agir avec justesse dans le concret,
* Kant : le respect inconditionnel de la personne,
* Levinas : la responsabilité à l'égard d'autrui,
* Arendt : l'esprit critique (le jugement) et la pluralité,
* Jonas : la responsabilité envers le vivant et les générations futures,
* La bioéthique : les 4 principes de Beauchamp & Childress (bienfaisance, non-malfaisance, autonomie, justice).
Ces références ne restent jamais théoriques : elles sont mises à l'épreuve des situations vécues dans les organisations.
Une démarche tournée vers vos besoins.
Elle vous permet d'identifier ce qui influence vos pratiques.
Elle ouvre un espace de discussion où chacun peut s'interroger sans crainte du jugement.
Elle est un outil d'aide à une décision cohérente et assumée, en éclairant les choix plutôt qu'en les prescrivant.
Et surtout, elle renforce la capacité à agir avec intégrité, au plus près de vos enjeux.
Pour situer clairement cette démarche, il est utile de distinguer trois registres souvent confondus.
Morale, déontologie, éthique : trois registres distincts.
La morale prescrit ce qu’il faut faire. Elle normalise et vise l'intégration au collectif.
La déontologie fixe des règles professionnelles.
L'éthique, elle, ouvre un espace de réflexion : elle questionne avant d'agir.
En intégrant l'éthique au coeur de vos décisions, vous donnez à votre organisation un appui fiable pour se transformer, gagner en cohérence et avancer sans jamais perdre de vue l'humain.
