This Thursday, November 7, the Departmental Council of Côte-d’Or presented a vast project to reorganize its services to optimize its operation and respond to budgetary challenges. This approach aims to modernize the administration, by adapting its infrastructure and human resources to current challenges.
A reorganization into three divisions for greater efficiency
In a tense financial context, the Departmental Council has initiated a profound restructuring, organized around three major divisions under the General Directorate of Services:
– The Resources and Transformation Support Center: This center’s mission is to rationalize digital and asset management, including the creation of a Digital and Artificial Intelligence Department to strengthen the use of new technologies and ensure cybersecurity. .
– The Attractiveness and Sustainable Development of Territories Pole: This pole brings together initiatives in territorial planning, including water management, infrastructure and housing. Its objective is to better coordinate environmental and territorial policies in favor of sustainable development.
– The Solidarity, Youth, Culture and Sports Center: It is dedicated to social policies, support for youth, community life and cultural and sporting initiatives. This center intends to strengthen social ties and support for vulnerable populations.
Modernization of workspaces: the OSMOSE Territorial Campus
To improve the working conditions of its agents and optimize resources, the Departmental Council announced the creation of the OSMOSE Territorial Campus in Dijon (€28,341,150, delivery at the end of 2026). This modern and ecological building will bring together several services currently scattered across different sites. It will reduce energy costs and promote a more collaborative organization, with spaces adapted to modern working methods.
The OSMOSE Campus embodies a desire for efficiency and cohesion. Designed to be energy efficient, it will offer agents a more pleasant and centralized working environment, while reducing infrastructure expenses.
Forecast management and adaptation of human resources
The report presented also highlights a policy of forward-looking management of jobs and skills, aimed at better anticipating future needs and adapting human resources to economic and social challenges. This approach includes targeted training, skills mapping and projects to retain talent in a context of strong competition between public employers.
« It is essential to guarantee an attractive and adapted working environment, to attract and retain the talents we need to serve the Côte-d’Oriens. », Specified the President of the Departmental Council.
Asset optimization and refocusing of assets
As part of this reorganization, the department plans to refocus its assets by selling several non-strategic assets. These sales, estimated at 16 million euros, will free up resources for new investments. Among the projects, a data center in Beaune will see the light of day in June 2025 to strengthen the security of departmental data.
This optimized management of goods and spaces aims to reduce operating costs and preserve the investment capacity of the Departmental Council, thus guaranteeing the sustainability of its public service missions despite a constrained financial environment.
A commitment to the future despite budgetary constraints
Faced with growing budgetary constraints, this ambitious reorganization marks the desire of the Côte-d’Or Departmental Council to maintain a quality public service while adapting its resources and infrastructure. Through this strategic reorganization, the department intends to meet the challenges of tomorrow, both in terms of energy savings and the development of new skills to serve citizens.
« We choose responsibility by optimizing our resources and preserving our presence in the region. This adaptation is necessary to meet the expectations of Côte-d’Oriens and prepare for the future within an increasingly constrained budgetary framework. », concluded the President of the Departmental Council.
