[Publication] Net Zero Initiative - Understanding the role of digital solutions in the global net zero effort ➡️ Guidelines for the digital sector : https://lnkd.in/e_BTYaDz 🖥 The digital sector currently counts for 2.1% to 3.9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 2.5% of France's carbon footprint. The sector's emissions are rising steadily every year, and could increase by 45% between 2020 and 2030 if the trend remains unchanged. ⚠️ In addition to GHG emissions, the sector is exerting increasing pressure on mineral and fossil resources, water use and waste.  ⚠️ Growing demand for electricity and non-recyclable critical metals could come into competition with the increased needs from the low-carbon transition. At the same time, the digital sector is sometimes promoted as a provider of solutions to the climate crisis, capable of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of other sectors. ❓ But is it really the case ?  ❓ What is the decarbonisation potential of digital technology ? ❓ How can digital companies contribute to the global net zero ? 1️⃣ Firstly, a company should ensure that its solutions are compatible with a low-carbon world 2️⃣ Secondly, it must reduce its own emissions and contribute to the development of carbon sinks In order to guide companies in the digital sector to understand the role of their solutions, the issues to address, the calculation of avoided emissions, etc., and help them have a positive impact, Carbone 4 has launched NZI for IT with the support of 9 corporate sponsors, and created a new methodology specific to the digital sector. Report led by Clara Benedini, Zénon VASSELIN, Benjamin Paulmier and Pierre MAQUET.  The NZI team would like to thank our sponsors Back Market, Bureau Veritas Group, Constellation, IJO, ISAI, OCTO Technology, Orange, OVHcloud, VusionGroup and all of the contributors who helped the analysis.

This week was held in Chambéry (France) the 7th edition of the national event Digital in Common[s] (Numérique en Commun[s]), bringing together actors of the "digital for the general interest" from all over France. This is not purely an event around digital commons and open models, it's much more an institutional approach driven by public administrations in an attempt to bring digital technologies into line with their public service mission. In this process, the challenge of digital commons then becomes a groundswell that is spreading all over the place, a way to try to reach this digital in commons. A strongly institutional event but where many of the people involved in these practices and movements come together, mixing a variety of people. A member of parliament, a senator or a mayor, digital workers, researchers, people from public or private organisations, from NGO or weapons sellers, the entrepreneur or freelancer, and so on. A 2-day event that nurtures a culture of openness within public administration and beyond, continuing to shed light on these subjects. It can reflect an evolution in the appropriation of these practices as with the French Ministry of Education which became an official partner for the first year in line with their digital policies, with an underlying logic of open by default. Some key ideas I'm taking could be a rise in criticism against the logic of calls for projects, challenging the way public procurement currently operates pushing for more consideration towards call for commons. A latent need and interest for education and a culture of openness, which, for example, has been well-identified as a brake for digital commons. In search of an education "by and for the commons". A critique of innovation in favor of maintenance has been made in order to take care of things and people. Despite their growing position, these practices are often overshadowed by large closed technological solutions and are not yet the favored approach in the main power bodies (and those who hold the moneybags). Digital commons remain marginal and fragile despite their fundamental nature. A vibrant appeal was made for a more structured movement to transform itself into a real alternative. To oppose to a digital in competition this digital in common, outlining these dynamics as transforming the (neo)liberal state towards a cooperative rather than competitive mindset, with a call for greater sustainability through changes in legislation. Digital has been the Wild West of liberalism, a mercantile world abandoned to the private sector where public spaces belong to billionaires more powerful than states. But we are not facing a single path, others are taking shape in front of our eyes. Politics, ideologies and conceptions of the world shape our digital universe in depth.

A History of Venture Capital: Venture Capital (VC) has been a driving force behind some of the most innovative companies in history. From its early beginnings to the establishment of major funds, the evolution of VC has been marked by significant milestones that have shaped the industry. Here are some key insights from Hervé Lebret's detailed study: 1) The Early Days: The concept of VC began to take shape post-World War II but gained significant traction in the late 1950s with the founding of companies like Fairchild Semiconductor by the Traitorous Eight, which was financed by venture capitalist, Arthur Rock. 2) 1970s Growth: The 70s saw the emergence of major VC firms like Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins, which played pivotal roles in funding the growth of technology and biotechnology sectors. 3) Government Influence: The Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and changes in ERISA guidelines during the 1970s provided a more favorable environment for VC investments, contributing to the industry's explosive growth. 4) Global Expansion: Although VC started in the United States, it has become a global phenomenon, with significant growth in regions like Israel and Europe, adjusting strategies according to regional entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Une Coupe de Cheveux en Provence (with help from GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet) In days past, a classic consulting firm interview question involved quantitative estimation, such as asking how many gas stations there are in New York. I decided to test the quantitative reasoning skills of GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet with a similar question: “What is the size of a town in Provence that might support 2-3 barbers or hair salons?” GPT-4o reasoned that a barber shop or salon might handle 15 clients a day, 5 days a week, and that potential clients might get a haircut every two months, resulting in an estimate of 600 clients per shop, and 1,200 to 1,800 clients for 2-3 shops. GPT-4o: “For instance, a town like Crestet, which has a population of around 400 (as of recent estimates), would likely not support 2-3 salons on its own, but nearby larger towns might.” “Given Crestet's small size, you might look for nearby towns such as: Vaison-la-Romaine: A larger town approximately 15 minutes away, with a population of around 6,000 people, which likely supports multiple barbers and hair salons. Carpentras: About 30 minutes away, with a population of around 30,000, offering many more options. Final Recommendation: For a reliable haircut experience, consider driving to Vaison-la-Romaine or Carpentras, where you will find several barbers and hair salons catering to a larger population. This ensures you have multiple options to choose from.” Finally, it produced the image below. Claude 3.5 Sonnet asserted that “[a] typical hair salon can serve about 100-200 regular clients” and assumed that “people get haircuts every 6-8 weeks on average.” Using the midpoints of those ranges, it got to 3,375 people to support 2-3 shops. It then noted that in “more rural areas like Provence, people might travel further for services. We should add a buffer to account for this: let's say 20%. 3,375 * 1.2 = 4,050 people” Finally, it rounded up for a conservative estimate: “To ensure the town can comfortably support 2-3 salons, let's round up. A town of about 4,500-5,000 people should be able to support 2-3 barbers or hair salons in a rural French setting like Provence.” It did an excellent job of identifying 5 nearby towns as options, based on population and driving distance, and concluded: “Among these options, Vaison-la-Romaine is likely your best bet, given its proximity and adequate size to support multiple hair salons. Orange and Carpentras, while slightly farther, offer more options due to their larger populations. Nyons is a good middle-ground option, while Buis-les-Baronnies might be worth checking if you prefer a smaller town setting.” My assessment: GPT-4o did a better job on the estimation portion of the problem and on the image, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet came up with a nice set of towns. Based on these analyses, I am heading to Vaison-la-Romaine and will report back in the comments. #technology #ai #innovation #france

Do you know ?? Zeto is a new Hyperledger Lab aiming to introduce an open source solution for Ethereum confidentiality. Enterprise blockchains such as R3’s Corda and Digital Asset’s Canton were designed for privacy. By contrast, Ethereum’s roots are in the permissionless blockchain space, where transparency is a feature. Given many believe the future will shift more towards permissionless blockchains, institutions are increasingly interested in permissioned versions of Ethereum. For more details click on link below.

🎙 📆 [#podcast New Season] Have you ever wondered how visualizing complex futures can help you take actions and decisions today? Fabien Girardin and Nicolas Nova, pioneers of the practice of Design Fiction, take us on a journey into it to explain what it is for and what comes beyond it. This episode reveals what it means to create tangible expressions of potential futures while considering its complex relationship with technology, global trends, and societal implications. They share real-world examples of scenario building and discuss how to operationalize future thinking in organizations through the use of co-creation, AI, and other tools.   Join us on this episode as we explain how complex futures can sometimes be comprehended only using mundane objects and consciously building muscle for continuous innovation. Key Highlights: 👉 Design Fiction shifts future thinking from abstract complexities to tangible prototypes, making it easier for organizations to grasp the potential impact of future scenarios. 👉 Using mundane, everyday objects is important to bring complex technological and societal changes to life while making it more relatable. 👉 Building a "Design Fiction muscle" involves integrating future thinking as a regular practice within organizations rather than relying on occasional workshops. 👉 AI is transforming future prototyping by accelerating the process and providing a larger perspective for creative explorations. 👉 To stay ahead of disruption through continuous improvement, it’s important for organizations also to involve diverse perspectives. 👉 Design Fiction can go beyond product and service prototypes to also reimagine organizations themselves. #DesignFiction, #FutureScenarios, #StrategicInnovation, #AIinDesign, #InnovationLeadership, #CreativeStrategy, #FutureThinking Full episode: https://blss.io/POD107
