Our Emilie rockeuse/COO back from the Summits, she tells...
A week ago I was at #Summits and it was La Folie Douce!
I'll tell you (almost) everything here
Visit #folie a great program, fun, professionalism, networking, good pace, there's never a dull moment!
Visit #weezer We'd like to share with you our impressions of this place and the interventions that call for stepping back and disconnecting. ♀️
I must tell you that I was very apprehensive about having to remain passive, listening seated in an auditorium armchair for several hours a day (I who love being in action) – but I was carried away by the presentations.
Philippe Dessertine reconciled me with economics and the prodigious scientific advancements we are experiencing. They will allow us to mutate toward a new model on a global scale: that of an intangible, impact-driven GDP
Benoit Raphael, Théo Leblanc and Cyrille de Lasteyrie have each in turn demonstrated that NO ❌’1TP5Artificial intelligence will not replace us. Phew! It's an effective tool if it's in the right hands, of’#human
Philippe Berlan (CEO La redoute), Anne Browaeys (Club Med), Romain Millet (DG Millet) in turn spoke about their company's transformation.
I take away 3 strong ideas from the transformation of their company:
-
Humans are always at the heart
-
Every transformation comes from a problem
-
Audacity and sincerity/trust are key values
Angélique GERARD and Laura Lesueur spoke to us about feminism with nuance to defend a less extreme and more inclusive fight, where it is more globally a question of diversity and inclusion. A nuanced stance in which I completely align.
Alexandre Fauvet (CEO Fusalp), Romain Lacroix (CEO MAPED), David Merle (CEO Bonnevale waters) discussed the theme of responsible products. 3 points emerged:
- The responsible product is the one that is not produced
- The question is one of utility
- The consumer isn't ready to pay more
Blaise Agresti and Laurence Bret-Stern from Mountain Path made us gain height by comparing the ascent of a peak to that of a company with many parallels: choosing the right peak, having the right rope team and the right leader, accepting risk, limiting risk... and the importance of consensus! Gael Musquet drew another parallel, with hurricanes, and the fact that we often arrive too late, because we're not prepared enough. Guerlain Chicherit also spoke to us about preparation and risk-taking, and it worked out pretty well for him
Julien Devaureix shed light on “the world that is changing and we understand nothing about it” (the title of his book). We live in a world where we move forward, adapt, and have to go fast... and we too rarely ask ourselves the real questions. “The world is a vast theater, let's take a look behind the scenes together, and return to the stage with more lucidity.”
Finally, and I saved the best for last, best in the sense of what touched me the most:
- Sylvain Tesson, a famous writer, who speaks of progress as the development of an error and calls us to reconnect with what is essential: nature
- Alexandre Jollien, philosopher, who invites us to “build bridges rather than walls,” to live a life without why and without labels.
- Tamara Klink, a 26-year-old female sailor who demonstrates to us that we can “do a lot with very little,” I will tell you more about her later.
Kudos to those who made it this far, I warned you, it was a lot!
Thank you Sophie and Xavier and the whole team for organizing this wonderful event. And David Abiker for hosting these 3 exceptional days.
