When technology meets business needs

🌍 [Tribune] Daf: Key Players in Managerial, Environmental, and Technological Transitions - How to Navigate the Finance of Tomorrow? 🌱 As the Director of Innovation, I'm constantly exploring the evolving landscape of finance and its intersection with sustainability and technology. Today, I came across an insightful article that sheds light on the changing role of CFOs in managing the financial aspects of companies amidst increasing regulations and societal expectations. Let me share the main takeaways with you. Gone are the days when CFOs were solely financial managers. They have now become strategic leaders, responsible for navigating the complex intersection of economic, social, and environmental performance. This shift requires CFOs to make decisions that go beyond financial results and incorporate corporate social responsibility (CSR) criteria. To fulfill this new responsibility, CFOs need to adopt a holistic and systemic approach, equipped with the tools and skills to understand and anticipate risks related to environmental and managerial transitions. They must align financial decisions with long-term objectives while integrating the requirements of new directives such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). But here's the exciting part - the article also highlights the opportunities presented by regulations like the CSRD and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D). These regulations allow CFOs to reposition their companies and transform obligations into competitive advantages. By leveraging emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, CFOs can become technological conductors, driving the transformation of the finance function. This is a chance for CFOs to redefine their role within the company, integrating sustainable finance and leveraging emerging technologies to create value for the future. By embracing sustainability, digital transformation, and nurturing a future-ready finance workforce, CFOs can become strategic changemakers, driving organizational growth and sustainability. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this topic. How do you see the role of CFOs evolving in the face of increasing regulations and societal expectations? Share your insights and let's foster a discussion on how we can shape the future of finance together. #CFOs #Sustainability #DigitalTransformation #FutureReadyFinance #StrategicChangemakers

We are in the age of self-service so having French patients declare on their own the sick leaves of a maximum 7 days makes total sense. After all, the Brits did it and survived :) The cost-benefit if just 10% of the 68 mil. French take just one such leave per year, counting 5 minutes to operate this in a system: more than 1/2 mil. hours of low-value-added work of the medical professionals saved. At the minimum SMIC of 11.65 EUR/hr, we're talking almost 6 mil. EUR/yr. A drop in a a bucket or a smart move? #rh #hr #cristinamihai https://lnkd.in/ezxXBs25

🌟 Proud Moment! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that ESCP has taken the 2nd place in the world for the Executive MBA program! 🎉 Recently, I had to justify why I chose ESCP over other business schools, and here are my top reasons: 1- Values: ESCP stands for responsible and empathetic leadership, which resonate deeply with me. 2- Flexibility: The program offers various durations - 18, 22, 30, or 34 months, catering to different needs. 3- International Influence: With 5 campuses in Europe and 5 international seminars around the world, ESCP truly has a global reach. 4- Strong Network: I didn't notice this one at the beginning, but it's probably the most important. I have evidence every day from Allumis and from my Cohort that when we are all looking in the same direction, we are all stronger! When considering an investment in education, the Financial Times ranking is a key indicator. Seeing ESCP climb from 6th place in 2021, to 5th in 2022, 3rd in 2023, and now 2nd in 2024 is a testament to their continuous improvement and excellence. I am incredibly proud to be part of this journey and to grow alongside such a prestigious institution. Next target: 1st in the world! 🌍🏆 #ESCP #ExecutiveMBA #ProudAlumni #Leadership #Sustainability #GlobalReach

Anne Hidalgo just announced that she will not be running for another 6-year term as Mayor of Paris. In her tenure, she has proven herself to be one of very few truly brave politicians. She took her 2014 mandate, and showed that she had the courage of her convictions, and instead of "analysis paralysis", she rapidly set out to make the changes she promised to make in Paris. Not everyone was on board, and any leader who actually makes changes will endure and waken the full forces of the anti-change stakeholders. But after a productive first term, the majority of Parisians sent her back to finish the job in 2020. More importantly, many people who were against her ideas at first, changed their minds and voted for her after seeing the results of the first-term's projects. These changes include abstract concepts like: - Equity, fairness, inclusion, access, addressing the modern city under a changing climate But also concrete changes like: - Hundreds of school streets, where traffic is blocked on blocks with schools, creating an instant playground, pedestrian and cyclist drop-off zone for kids, with NO car danger or idling vehicle pollution. - Changing the riverside freeways into parks for people. You can now walk along the riverside, or jog, bike, rollerblade, picnic, drink & revel. This is prime real estate in Paris she reclaimed for people, not cars. - Cleaner river - Pedestrian improvements and more space - Huge growth in bike lanes - Increased greenery and tree planting - Reduction of "heat island" contributors - Public transit enhancements & system growth - Flood preparedness systems - Efficient centralized citywide piped heat pump systems - Housing supply growth, stabilization of real estate prices And she contributed to shared successes like the 2024 Paris Olympics, transportation and mobility, a cleaner river, a 15 minute city. Paris is now a model city that many other metropolises can and ARE using as a leading example. Was Hidalgo perfect? No of course not - who is? I understand many of the critiques against her, but I believe she delivered on what she promised, and what she was elected to do. That makes her an unusually good politician, who is forward-leading as opposed to just forward-looking.

I encourage you to read this article. AI and Generative AI will enable an unprecedented level of hyper-personalization across various cultures, countries, and languages. This will allow companies to make their customers feel truly special and well understood. However, the most effective approach will be a combination of Human + AI. AI alone can create biased relationships that might harm companies and their brands. Please share your thoughts and perspectives on this.

Let me tell you what Les Echos, one of the most important business journals in France, is NOT saying (yet!): 1/ We need EUR 800 billion in investments per year (5% of UE's budget) just to keep the pace with USA and Chin 2/ The amount is twice the Marshal plan, because the problems now are twice compared to after WW2, if you can imagine this 3/ The report highlights the urgent need for common coordination in all aspects, from energy to financing. This is totally against Germany's business model as a country. We'll see if Italy and France we'll succeed in pushing this plan. https://lnkd.in/dPAXE_fu
