Becoming a Committed Company: Essential for the Younger Generation
The world has already changed. Current societal issues are becoming increasingly complex, urgent, and interconnected. We are all seeking more meaning: in our work, in our lifestyles, and in our consumption choices. Technological miracle or slow tech, abundance or sobriety, cult of immediacy or praise of slowness? Our future, even very close, raises questions that compel us to reflect and commit to a desirable future, more humane, more sustainable, more equitable. And young people, with their conviction, energy, activism, and the importance of the issue for them since they will be in the future even longer than we will, are the natural and legitimate heroes of this movement. They *are* and *make* the way of tomorrow: it is the sum of their intuitions and aspirations that dictates major evolutions in our society. Brands must and can respond to these challenges. They must be part of something greater than themselves, position themselves on our societal debates, to remain relevant and not fade into oblivion. But also because it is the right thing to do. If in the past one could be satisfied with seeking the maximization of *profit* to judge performance, today the company must seek *profitability* for all and look beyond its personal interests and not only cope with, but seek to improve, the environment in which it operates. Companies must rethink and challenge their "raison d'être", from which everything will flow: their production methods, their corporate culture, the choice of their suppliers, and of course the product or service they deliver. They can become "mission-driven companies", as proposed by the demanding Pacte Law. Today, young people demand that brands accompany or even inspire them in their quests for meaning, under penalty of being ignored. How do young people compel brands to engage? What impact does it have on corporate strategy, both internally and externally? This inspiring conference, illustrated by concrete examples and offering a real roadmap to meet the imperatives of engagement, is aimed at both leaders and employees. Embodied by a recognized young entrepreneur who has managed to innovate in her technology, model, and product, it offers an optimistic and realistic vision of the years to come!
Chatbots, Voicebots: The Conversational Enterprise
The technology of chatbots has unleashed fantasies: our future virtual assistants would know us better than we know ourselves, anticipate our desires, and revolutionize customer service. With the hype subsided, the limits are clear and concrete, high-performing use cases have emerged. Because we are tired of mobile applications, because email is saturated, and messaging surpasses all uses, chatbots allow for a rich conversation between a company and its customers, communities, or collaborators. What uses and perspectives for bots? How to seize this opportunity to create a conversation with its different audiences, engage them, and listen to them? What vision for the future of this technology? This inspiring conference, illustrated by concrete examples and offering a real roadmap for adopting a conversational strategy, impacts both leaders and collaborators. Led by a recognized young business leader who developed the leading French chatbot, Jam, this conference offers an ambitious, optimistic, and realistic vision of the future of bots!
Future of Work: The Learning Organization
The world has already changed. Current societal challenges are becoming increasingly complex, urgent, and interconnected. We are all seeking more meaning: in our work, in our lifestyles, and in our consumption choices. Technological miracle or slow tech, abundance or sobriety, cult of immediacy or praise of slowness? The questions posed by our future, even very near, compel us to reflect and commit to a desirable future, more humane, more sustainable, more equitable. In the face of technological upheavals and our quest for meaning, the company in turmoil must propose a new contract: after the company centered around shareholders, then customers, it must place the employee at the center. It must evolve its culture to place continuous learning at its core: a culture where everyone remains curious and open; where tests and mistakes are allowed, as they are essential to innovation, transformation, and profound change. This is not a culture of "happiness": if you want to make people "happy", send them home! They will always be happier there, in the short term, than at work. Rather, ensure that in their quest for intellectual development and impact on their world, they are never better off than with you. This is the only way to attract and retain talent, and to remain relevant in the face of technological, usage, and economic model upheavals. This inspiring conference, illustrated with concrete examples and offering a real roadmap to rethink the role of the company in this uncertain climate, is embodied by a recognized young business leader who has managed to create a high-performing culture that encourages innovation and progress, providing an optimistic, demanding, and realistic vision of the future of work!
Artificial Intelligence: The Opportunity to Rethink Humanity
Terminator, R2D2, Her, DeepMind, the self-driving car... the collective imagination surrounding artificial intelligence is vivid, shared between myths and fantasies. Yet, we interact every day with powerful artificial intelligences: a Google search, a reply to an email, the choice of a series. We train them through our clicks on articles, our playlist choices... AI is already in our personal and professional lives. It learns quickly and allows us to automate and improve certain often thankless tasks that we used to handle. But strong, transversal, autonomous AI seems to be just a distant fantasy: "I believe that the concern comes from a fundamental error that does not distinguish between the recent and very real advances in AI, and the enormity of the complexity that would be required to develop a voluntary and sentient artificial intelligence," whispers Rodney Brooks, a roboticist at MIT. Thinking about AI is a collective responsibility, fundamental starting today, to create technology that celebrates the uniqueness of humanity. Beyond the buzzword, what is artificial intelligence and what are its applications and prospects? How does it disrupt our relationship with work? But above all, what kind of artificial intelligence do we want to develop to build a desirable future? This inspiring conference, illustrated with concrete examples and offering a real roadmap to address the major questions posed by artificial intelligence, impacts both leaders and employees. Led by a young entrepreneur recognized in the field of AI, it offers an optimistic, demanding, and realistic vision of the years to come!
How to Create Your Own Disruption?
Breaking into pieces, bursting, breaking, destroying or dynamic methodology oriented towards creation... disruption obsesses and surpasses the imperative of transformation. It is no longer about simply seeking to improve the existing, but to question it, to wipe the slate clean to reinvent oneself and remain relevant. The threat but above all the opportunity of disruption is total: beyond technology, it embodies itself in business models, process changes, or usage upheavals. It requires rethinking the foundation of one's model, placing the user at the center, and redefining the value proposition. Beyond the buzzword, how to apprehend disruption and how to anticipate it? What position and mindset to adopt in this disruptive climate? And above all, what future do we wish to build through these radical changes? This inspiring conference, illustrated by concrete examples and offering a real roadmap to adopt a disruptive strategy, impacts both leaders and employees. Embodied by a recognized young entrepreneur who has managed to innovate in her technology, her model, and her product, it offers an optimistic and realistic vision of the years to come!
