Cyrille De Lasteyrie, Alias Vinvin

Quest for Meaning & Purpose

Are individuals and companies soluble in a common mission? The legislator has just voted on the principle that companies must adopt a 'mission' and a 'purpose.' With the PACTE law, the modern world is trying to repair the damage and create a 'responsible capitalism' that is thought-provoking, but why not... At the same time, individuals have never expressed their need for meaning, to realize themselves in work, to aspire to a possible happiness even in open spaces. Is it a concordance of aspirations or the convulsions of a civilization that gestures when it feels threatened? How can companies succeed where humanity has been searching for millennia? The meaning of life, death, the power of our fears and contradictions, biases, the gaze of others, little arrangements with reality, all these external elements make defining a purpose very complicated on a human scale. But what if the company, cornered by the force of things, could represent a possible escape route? And why not a hope to do better... Cyrille de Lasteyrie, aka Vinvin, is an author, entrepreneur, and a thorn in the side of the digital ecosystem. A speaker by day and a theater man by night, quirky and incisive, he is interested in the place of humanity in the company and in techno-centered civilization. Conference lasting 45 minutes to 1 hour, stand-up format.
