France 🇫🇷: This is (almost) the end of an era for frequency modulation. The White Paper on Radio, unveiled this morning by Arcom, mentions 2033 as the date for totally digital French radio. Cleverly, there is no question of abandoning FM but of favouring DAB, which will inevitably and gradually take over. In less than 10 years' time. #DAB #Digitalradio #DABplus https://lnkd.in/eYKnVNB5

Have you heard about Withings? Here’s a great podcast from Monde Numérique (in French, but you can add English subtitles) featuring Withings CEO Eric CARREEL. He explains the monumental and successful shift towards health care that the company underwent after he first created, then sold it to Nokia, and eventually bought it back. 💡 A few interesting facts: - At the launch of Withings, one of the biggest blockers was sharing health data on the internet – even weight data was being sent online. - Jack Dorsey was one of the first to believe in Withings. - The second pivot of Withings successfully transitioned towards health, driven by the need for home support due to the explosion of chronic diseases. - Every day, patients use Withings products and potentially save lives by detecting conditions like atrial fibrillation. - According to the CEO, "We are close to the moment when an ECG-equipped watch becomes more useful than a traditional monitor." 🧐 A few thoughts: - Health assessment has evolved – it now requires prolonged support and data-driven insights. - Long-term follow-up is essential as the journey to health includes ups and downs. 72% of users are still engaged after three years. - LLMs and AI will help Withings users create personalized content to motivate and support patients. For example, Withings Plus encourages users to stay active. - Today's medicine is shifting from reactive to preventive care – data is key to achieving this new standard. - To combat chronic diseases, we need to focus on patients' day-to-day lives. - Doctors are not yet initiating patients to use connected devices, highlighting an area for growth and education. 🎙️ Podcast Link https://lnkd.in/d8FqRHvN

Other countries are feeling the pinch as well at a time when interest rates broadly remain high and the supply chain is under pressure with the restrictions on some key maritime routes. Many manufacturers are setting cost savings programs to adapt.

🏃‍♂️ = 🎧, long run = lot of podcasts 😊 . An inspiring one today: Jean-Philippe Courtois welcomes Florent Menegaux, CEO of Michelin in The Positive Leadership Podcast. ✔️After a successful experience in PWC, Florent was fired by his second company. His boss reproached him not being feared by his team… 📖 Though my focus is on leadership, it’s interesting to learn about the roots of Michelin’s guides and Maps. They invented and patented the way to fold maps. Michelin has been the first to invent the digital maps (ViaMichelin). Google came to Michelin to ask them to help building what became Google Maps! 📖 Tolstoï: “Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself” 👉 Florent has been coached a lot during his career. He also decided to coach the 600 top managers of Michelin but also to coach the ExCom as a team. 👉"The best management you can have is by actively listening to the others. Every time you put yourself in a listening position, you help the other one to shape what they have to say". 💡 "Relooking about what we are doing starting by a simple question: what is a tyre? Give a definition of what is a tyre without using the word tyre. It took several months to put a definition of what is a tyre without using the word." 🙏 I take this as a takeaway to give a definition of Networks without using the words #Networks and #Backbone 😊 👉 The "WHY" of Michelin. Journey started in 2011 (41') when the senior leader in the US told him “I cannot motivate myself with value creation”. He was stuck answering this question. Hence the work on their purpose “We care about giving people a better way forward”. Then they defined "For WHAT?" with thousands of people to work on their collective dream. 💡 The triple bottom-line concept: Profit, People, Planet (the “3Ps”). We can’t dissociate these 3Ps, otherwise you weaken the other “P”. If you only focus on  profit, you may not have the people and the ressources (risk of exhausting people and ressources). In Michelin, the ten years, one year or one week horizons are always considering these three “P”. “We never look at the business with only one “P”. Every business has to report on these three dimensions at the same time. In the long run you will not exist if you don’t consider these dimensions together". ✔️How do you do when time get tougher (restructuring)? Michelin announced the closure of two plants in France. Tough decision, but necessary for the company to be ok in the long run. Need to do to in a responsible manner (53’). 👉 "If you want to change things, things will change. I strongly believe in collective intelligence, I believe in positive leadership. There is always something good about everything. Never accept mediocrity, never accept things the way they are”. 👉 "Most of the time I’m an actor. Collective intelligence is the only way to tackle complexity. Don’t see the other one as a threat but as a support”. 👉“Leadership is not a title, it’s a mindset”.

"I'm worried about what France will be like without Emmanuel Macron." I shared this thought, among many others around tech and entrepreneurship, with Aurélie Pasquier of Maddyness at #VivaTech last month. If you can’t read French, here are the key takeaways from our conversation: A decade ago, France was one of the worst places in Europe to do business. Now, France is the country that’s leading technology innovation and economic growth in Europe. I give full credit to President Macron for this shift and have been honored to serve as the Global Ambassador of the French Tech to help execute his vision of building a #startup nation. I’m placing my bets on France, as well as India, to be the major players in fostering the next generation of the global innovation ecosystem.

Thanks to electronics, we live in a #DC world. Every device in a building has some type of printed circuit board and ti power that board is a transformer whose power is typically always on generating heat in the process of converting power. Modern #IT #networking technologies also have the ability carry power, and they do so safely. #POE can carry 90W and powers access points, cameras, desk telephones, access control devices, building sensors, POS terminals, Kiosks, and even building LED lighting. USB-C is certified to 240W and powers many personal devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and soon many other devices. Then there are new Fault Managed Power Systems for higher power distribution which prevent electrocution or fires. More commonly known #LVDC applications such as 48V, 24V, and 12V prevail through most buildings. And now there are a host of other IEC #LVDC higher power #DC systems such as those from the eMerge Alliance (380V) and new 600V and 800V applications led by Battery Energy Storage Systems, EV charging, and Industrial System applications. It’s time to wake up to #LVDC
