Proposed
Ambassadeurs de Provence
Giving a shared tool to a 545-member network that runs with no budget and no permanent staff.
See the proposal ↗The ground
The Ambassadeurs de Provence network was created in spring 2022 at the initiative of the Aix-en-Provence sub-prefecture. It has 545 members, from the Patrouille de France to ITER, from Sciences Po Aix to the international opera festival, and meets twice a year with some two hundred participants.
Its strength is also its constraint: it runs with no dedicated budget and no permanent staff, purely on its members’ commitment. At that scale what is missing is not willingness but tooling: knowing who does what, who can help whom, and where the working groups stand.
What we proposed
The home page of the future site, and above all the journeys of each of its stakeholders: what a member comes looking for, what an administrator needs to track, what an institutional partner expects, what a prospective member must understand before stepping forward.
That part matters more than the mockup. A volunteer network only adopts a tool that fits the way it already works, and it is by writing those journeys, stakeholder by stakeholder, that you find out what the site actually has to do.
The proposal is now with the members. It will be debated with them before anything goes into production.
What Edicore does here
We designed the proposal and we are taking it to the network. Marc Dollié is himself an Ambassadeur de Provence: we are not offering a tool to a network we watch from the outside, we belong to it.

What it shows
Writing the journeys before a single line of code is the first stage of our method: understand the company before building. Inside a business, that means looking at how decisions actually get made, and it is what separates a tool teams adopt from one they merely endure.
