"But, while the dramatic advances in digital technologies have been well measured and quantified, their impact on firms, economies and individuals has been more anecdotal. We talk about how this digital revolution has been transforming just about every aspect of business, society and our personal lives, bringing us both near-magical products and services as well as their accompanying creative destruction and pain. But, how can we quantify this revolution beyond its technological foundations?"

"LE NUMERIQUE, MOTEUR DU CHANGEMENT

C'était le thème du colloque proposé par l'Institut Edgar Quinet qui s'est tenu au Sénat le 30 mars dernier. Après une ouverture du colloque faite par le sénateur David Assouline, j'ai assisté aux 2 premières tables rondes, la première évoquant le numérique comme moteur de l'économie et la deuxième les rapports sociaux à l'ère du numérique"

"In a stunning article in Vanity Fair, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joe Stiglitz asks the critical question: is the US economy going through a fundamental shift in the nature of the economy? Is the US economy is undergoing a phase change—a shift from one fundamental economic state to another?"

"Michael Porter has done us all a service in identifying that the wealth of modern economies comes from the productivity, innovation and high wages found in their clustered industries — those industries that are found only in certain geographic areas and trade most of their output outside their home areas, both nationally and internationally. Wages in these clustered industries (like pharmaceuticals or business services) are dramatically higher than in dispersed industries (like primary medical care or consumer services)."

" Aujourd'hui, un de ces "marronniers" de la vie politique est la "relocalisation" de l'industrie française, source de mesures supposées la favoriser, au premier rang desquelles la fameuse TVA sociale éreintée ici même il y a peu. Mais certains candidats imaginent un retour à un protectionnisme bien plus contraignant, qu'il soit européen, voire, pire encore, national. Dans la période économique difficile que nous connaissons, de telles politiques protectionnistes, qu'elles soient revendiquées ou masquées, seraient absolument suicidaires. Voyons pourquoi. "

"Le thème de l'innovation sociale est apparu dans les années 1960, porté par des théoriciens du management comme Peter Drucker ou des entrepreneurs sociaux comme Michael Young, le fondateur d'Open University. Mais il n'a vraiment pris son essor que depuis une dizaine d'années, en redessinant la frontière parfois floue entre entreprise et société civile, l'une s'inspirant de l'autre et réciproquement."

Becoming a supplier to a large business can be just a pain, particularly if you are a small business. The overhead involved can even consume more time and effort than the actual work itself. When you consider that in the US 70% of our businesses are small and medium sized, this is a large scale headache. More so, what is crucial is that small businesses hire employees faster. The White House Blog indicated that: “after a small supplier lands a big purchase order or a contract from a bigger company, the small company’s revenues go up 250% and they create about 150% more jobs in just two or three years.”

To get a stalled economy moving again, improving the purchasing process in large businesses particularly in relation to hiring small suppliers would do wonders for everyone. Within these processes, there can be small changes that can create large waves of transformations that help to open up the economy."

"Another obstacle to the impact economy's expansion came crumbling down earlier this week when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation creating a legal structure for social enterprises in his state.

The bill allows corporations to organize themselves as Benefit Corporations, for-profit entities that have a specific social mission. It had languished for several months on the governor’s desk until a spate of late-year legislation was completed, but passed New York’s divided legislature unanimously."

"I’ve been saying for a while that simple and merely complicated work will continue to get automated and outsourced (read this post if you don’t believe it or look at this example of legal work getting automated). To keep a job in the creative economy (with core skills of Initiative, Creativity & Passion) one must become an indispensable linchpin in the organization."

"Seule une économie en rupture avec celle qui existe nous sortira de la crise chronique dans laquelle l’humanité s’est empêtrée. Au terme de vingt ans de recherche sur les mécanismes systémiques appliqués aux entités sociales, dont plus de dix ans d’expérimentation en entreprises, il est démontré qu’il existe une autre façon de faire du business et de créer de la richesse.

Dear Old People Who Run the World,

My generation would like to break up with you.

Everyday, I see a widening gap in how you and we understand the world — and what we want from it. I think we have irreconcilable differences.

La demi-stratégie

Beaucoup de nos entreprises ont non pas une stratégie, mais une moitié de stratégie. Elles veulent « grossir pour survivre », mais restent campées sur leur activité traditionnelle et refusent de diversifier leur offre. Elles veulent « réduire les coûts », mais négligent le marketing. Elles veulent « assainir les finances », mais répudient la R&D. Leurs dirigeants négligent la polyphonie de l'entreprise, la multiplicité des logiques qu'elle articule (voir Modèle en couches) et qui toutes sont nécessaires, pour n'accorder d'attention qu'à une seule mélodie.
