Great article from HBR on creativity and constraints, a topic often overlooked 📦 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 "𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘅"—𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 "𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘅"! When we challenge the norms and think within constraints, we unlock immense creativity. 🌟 As an entrepreneur, my mantra has always been to do more with less, and this is the core advice I share with those I mentor. 🧠 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: By integrating the principles of Design Thinking, we can achieve disruptive innovations. Paradoxically, removing what seems like an essential feature can generate significant value. 🚀 Inspiring Examples: • Apollo 13: Ingenious use of available resources led to a successful mission. • Blackberry's Keyboard: The transition to touch screens with the iPhone reshaped the industry. • GE's Low-Cost ECG: Eliminating the screen and backup battery created a more efficient, portable device. 📖 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿? I highly recommend "Inside the Box" by Drew Boyd and Jacob Goldenberg for insights on the power of thinking within constraints. 🔗 Let’s discuss! How have constraints influenced your creativity?

Are we back on the world tech investments’ map ? Investing in Europe seems to be trending among GAFAM. After having announced 2.1 Bn$ in Spain and 3.4 bn$ in Germany, Microsoft has promised France during the Choose France Summit a record amount of 4Bn$ of investments in AI. During the same summit, Amazon has announced a 1.2 Bn$ AI investment in France. These investments will serve multiple purposes ranging from building new data centers to supporting local actors and creating new jobs in AI. While these news definitely cheer me up, they also fuel my regrets for the lack of a major integrated european tech actor. The world sees us as one but we have constantly been incapable of acting accordingly and we are paying the price everyday. Because these investments are a double edged sword. While boosting the local ecosystems, they will also allow the GAFAM to strengthen their respective positions at the expense of local actors. Their partnerships with our startups will create for them a largely favorable balance of power. The presence of a European Tech giant would have made any collaboration more even and prevented abuses in critical subjects such as data property. It’s about time we create such an actor otherwise we will stay small and divided in a world becoming more and more integrated.

#BookClub Reading Acte III From Zero to One: The Blueprint for Innovation by Peter Thiel In a world where innovation is the heartbeat of progress, Peter Thiel's "From Zero to One" stands as a beacon of transformative thinking. This book isn't just a guide; it's a manifesto for anyone daring to dream beyond the ordinary. Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Meta , SpaceX, and LinkedIn, distills his profound insights into a compelling narrative that challenges conventional wisdom and inspires groundbreaking innovation. Imagine a world where every entrepreneur strives not just to compete, but to create something entirely new. Thiel's central thesis is that true innovation comes from going from zero to one—creating something that has never existed before. He argues that copying what works is a path to mediocrity, while true success lies in originality. This idea resonates deeply with our innate desire to be unique and impactful, tapping into the neuro-marketing principle of differentiation. Thiel provocatively suggests that monopolies, not competition, drive progress. He illustrates this with examples like Google, which dominates its market by doing something no one else can. This concept is not just about business strategy; it's a call to embrace a mindset that seeks to create and dominate new spaces. By framing monopolies as engines of innovation, Thiel taps into the persuasive power of reframing—a technique that shifts our perspective and opens our minds to new possibilities. This Book is rich with the idea that the future is shaped by secrets—unknown truths waiting to be discovered. Thiel encourages readers to seek out these secrets and leverage them to build the future. This narrative taps into our curiosity and the neuro-marketing principle of scarcity, making the pursuit of hidden knowledge irresistible. Thiel doesn't just theorize; he provides actionable insights. From the importance of sales and distribution to the need for a strong company culture, his advice is grounded in real-world experience. This practical wisdom is presented in a way that feels both accessible and authoritative, leveraging the rhetorical technique of ethos to establish credibility and trust. "From Zero to One" is a call to action. Thiel's eloquent prose and compelling arguments stir a sense of urgency and possibility. He challenges us to think bigger, to innovate boldly, and to shape the future rather than merely react to it. This powerful message is amplified by the use of storytelling, making the book not just informative, but deeply inspiring. Peter Thiel's "From Zero to One" is exceptional as it transcends traditional business advice. It is a visionary blueprint for innovation, a masterclass in strategic thinking, and a profound exploration of what it means to create something truly new. For anyone looking to make a lasting impact, it's not just a read it's a revelation. #Innovation #Future #Creativity #StartUps #Technology

During the conference, we had the privilege of presenting Anne Bouverot with the policy report on women in STEM, co-authored with UNESCO and produced for this year’s G20. The discussions reinforced the undeniable value of women’s contributions to these fields. With the steadfast commitment of France’s Special Envoy for AI to this cause, we are optimistic that the crucial topic of gender equality in tech will feature prominently at the AI Action Summit, set to take place in Paris in February 2025. We remain committed advancing this agenda into 2025, with recommendations and actions to enable equal involvement of women in tech, particularly in AI.

The 2 challenges for GenAI : - Deploy to production at scale - Find the right problem to address In this keynote introduction, my colleagues Thibaud Vienne and Laurène Thénoz (Vol-Monnot), Lead Data Scientist and Data Product Manager at Hymaïa deep dive into those two challenges. Key takeaways: - LLMs are not the challenge, it's all that comes around that is hard to handle - Software and Product Management best practices are more than ever needed to face those challenges Find the replay of the keynote here: https://lnkd.in/e-SayBqx

Un projet ERP qui finit par ruiner l'un des plus grands conseils municipaux d'Europe 👇 https://lnkd.in/d2dYRxuH Many leaders pride themselves on setting the high-level direction and staying out of the details. But big picture, hands off leadership isn’t likely to work in a change situation, because the hardest part of change—the paralyzing part—is in the details. Any successful change requires a translation of ambiguous goals into concrete behaviors. To make a switch, you need to script the critical moves.

Delete your emails. All of them. But not one by one. Open the email management console for the whole team and click on DELETE. Precise, efficient. At least 100 GB purged. According to Ademe (Ademe is the French agency for Ecological Transition), you'll have saved at least 1 Kg of CO2. ... that is, if the entire team continues to operate without an alternative solution for ONE YEAR, of course. No emails. Not ever. Use nothing instead. It's not easy, is it? Alternatively, to be even more effective: the next time you want beef, don't have any. A single meal without beef is equivalent to 7 kg of CO2 not released into the atmosphere.  It's 7 times more effective. For an "effort" of just 30 minutes. --- Of course, if you want to delete e-mails, but ESPECIALLY if you want to unsubscribe from numerous mailing lists so that you no longer receive them, don't hesitate to do so. But if you can spare 3 hours for digital housework, you also have 3 hours to think about your eating habits and try to reduce your consumption of beef, or even meat altogether. Thank you 🙏 #DigitalCleanUpDay #DigitalCleanUpWeek

One of the most rewarding bits about writing a book is that smart people, like #ResearchOps Strategist Jeanne Clais, build on your concepts and expand them. In this advent blog post, Jeanne offers a list of metrics for each area of the eight elements of #ResearchOps represented in the Venn diagram of ResearchOps (see the comments for a graphic). One of the most important bits about metrics is picking a short-as-possible and useful-as-possible list of metrics to track and then being ultra-consistent. #ResearchOps #DesignOps #UX #userresearch #researchthatscales

“Is ELTIF 2.0. the key to the retailisation of Private Equity?” is definitely one of the questions we touched upon during the roundtable Frédéric Pérard from STP had the pleasure to co-moderate during the #LPEA Tech Day on 22 May, 2024. The main take-aways of this interesting discussion can be sumarized as follows: 1- Most ELTIF 2.0 new projects are open ended funds with potential high volumes of retail investors; 2- this implies more onboarding work, including AML / KYC and therefore more cost; 3- it also requires to address specific aspects like long lock-up period and the need for liquidity; 4- GPs need to adapt their fee structure to make them simpler and easier to manage; 5- ManCos and Asset Servicers need to get properly equipped to process a mix of bankable and non bankable assets, often held in very different systems… 6- Consequently, ELTIFs 2.0. seem promising but challenging. Let’s see the final RTS and their impact on the market. Thank you #LPEA for hosting this insightful event. For those of you interested in launching ELTIFs, talk to us if you current platform doesn’t fully meet the needs! #ELTIF, #Asset_management, #Asset_servicers, #ManCo, #GP, #LPEA
