Flashback on USI 2010
USI 2010 speakers answered Luc Fayard's questions (free lance journalist) and explain their vision in 4 minutes of the following themes:
Interview on the theme Innovation
Technological innovation is still fascinating, new terminals, new languages, new cloud platforms, new business model 2.0… Novelty fascinates but we have to distinguish innovation from novelty. Which innovations can be the most useful for companies in 2010? Is “more technology” still the most innovative? Do we need new innovations in the men, organizations and change universe?
Interview on the theme Open
10 years after the crisis due to the fact that the Internet did not keep its promises, companies finally exploit the whole power of this new media, totally rethinking their borders. More and more willing to evolve, they receive and integrate partners, clients or even strangers contributions. New business models enabling users to become active and based on intensive payment ways appear among those new actors. Does the world turn upside down? Is the company 1.0 able to exploit the DNA 2.0?
Interview on the theme Sustainable
Companies, and in passing their CEO are subjected to performance demands aiming at maximizing their profitability bringing them sometimes to create negative social and environmental externalities: non-quality, demotivation, over dimensions, rigidity… Pioneers such as Google have already proved it was possible to place demands on sustainable in the core of their preoccupations, and in passing to become very profitable. Can we benefit from some of their recipes? What would such changes ask for?
Interview on the theme Value
Can we focus on the decrease of costs without having a look at the value of our computing science? Economists have shown that computing science could destroy value if it was not done in parallel to changes. What do leaders do? What are the value bases of our information system? What are the restraints avoiding us to free them?
on the theme Geek and Boss
In a company's context it is sometimes difficult to make Geeks and Bosses work together: incomprehensions, technical gap, divergent objectives... However it seems important to make the most of this Geek/Boss relation to transform efficiently our companies? Who is the today's Geek? What role has to be taken on by the Boss nowadays?
