Building Enterprises for the Digital Age
Talks
Speaker: Daan Weddepohl
Key insights / quotes:
2 directions where you can go in “you become that big , super successulf VC company” or you’re an activist and want to improve workers rights, build a community (utopian vision)
In reality, it’s not so simple that > and there is sthing in the middle : Is it really possible to create this utopian vision
After my home burnt, I discovered many things :
People enjoy sharing
We don’t really need to own stuff
The biggest investor in our company is the community (2+M€ raised in 4 days)
We discovered is that demand is the hardest part of the market place (by far the supply trumps demand) : people love to share, that’s not the problem
Convenience, quality and price (fairness for example is not in the top 5, Stanford study)
Organized a work session with the community to understand what did they care about, their passion and what they want to invest in. And the result is that they were interested in creating a successful business + creating a social impact
The reality of building a sharing platform is that you need both that your marketplace work and to get a return on investment. But at the end : purpose and the need to live happy life in a great world
Speaker: Rodrigo Baggio

Key insights/quotes
Transportation - Mobility - Design
Organization of mass transportation?
Problems
Lack of leadership
Lack of community -> way to push the ecosystem
Traditional vs. Uber
How to harness this data to benefit the world? -> open up urban planning, use open data (NYC)
Medium to access data: catalogue of all transportation data in the world -> ambitious plans, supported by community
Speaker: Yochai Benkler
Key insights/quotes
OuiShare Fest : people brought together by the recognition of the transformative moment in digital networks communication plus a response of two crisis 1) climate change and 2) continuous increase in inequality.
3 dimensions of tensions :
Power of hierarchy (bossless organization, participatory gofvernment)
Power of property (cooperativism, accept property and try to redistribute it) - tension between the notion of commons
Theory of the margin (postponing the marginal commitment, clashes between entrepreneurs and VCs)
Commitment to the commons is central to the ability to negotiate this tensions.
It is necessary to design the new solutions in response to this three concern and plan it in a way to be resilient.
I think it is a mistake to follow the temptation to build coops as well as to promote blockchain only focused on one dimension of reproducing centralization you open yourself to re-concentration. It is now enough to build a decentralized technology of it is not resilient.
There are tribes and openness in the festival. You need to hang together, but not only accepting others. It is also important to use the power of creative tensions.
Build something coherent and resilient from the start. Build multi-system solutions to multi-system problems
Conversations
Moderator: Vincent Edin (Journalist, Independent)
Key insights/quotes
2 key questions: What are the challenges for traditional and new business models? Wheat can traditional businesses learn from start-ups?
S Bazin: adapt and embrace to the future models of economy Diagnostic of challenges for traditional big players -> not only spectator but actor -> only brand / product focused not client focused
Looking at digital initiatives Young founders, based on technology, global clients, start from scratch
Adaptation of big / traditional companies: -Transparency of CEO + feedback of young shadow
exclusive board
C Lazorthes: No opposition but mutual learning Importance of competition for improvement -> partners for finance, capital for finance but independence -> learn how to hire people and to build a vision

Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions: How are platforms answering to the needs and desires of new citizen producers? How do you develop a sense of community and respond to different expectations? Does this lead to a rise of consumerism?
3-5 key insights
Experience/convenience
Producing/Mastering
Transparency/Sustainability
Stefano Bianchini: Human Centered Innovation Digital Component of Services (-> not core but tool) -> Services that are valuable for platforms (uber) Value of human interaction is rising while digital dimension increases People are at the core of services -> active players Commonization (of hotel experience) -> host becomes creator of experience Trust: basis of p2p experiment
Camille Rumani: Founder of Whizzeat Community: 1500 -> 15000 hosts Get to know users from the start: What type of people? What are needs & desires of hosts= -> women, food lovers, experience social interaction
how to meet expectations and remain with love values?
Sense of community and professionalization? -> bering value to users to create loyalty -> empower and educate the hosts -> advices for professionalism via p2p learning between chefs
keep community united behind values
Luisa Santigo: Circular economy models & designs Ellen MacArthur Foundation Thought: Economy with finite resources -> what a model that runs for a long term? -> not a linear model
Extraction Growth Trash -new business models -> what happens to living systems? -new technologies -> even steeper with rise of threshold -p2p countries emerging Structural waste Price volatility Demographic pressure Urbanization
Circular economy -> positive impact on environment / society -> eliminate the concept of waste -> long term structured system, no toxic back to nature -> value creation without more extraction of resources -> Biocycle -> restorative and regenerative by design -> accelerate the transition to a circular economy -> global scale, big partners, education, pioneer universities, business & governments, living network lab of practices -> from consumers to users

Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions:
How can we bring together all the participants interests to unleash true transformation? What is a healthy ecosystem? Can true impact be measured by members? Are communities being created in the start-up networks?
3-5 key insights:
What does a healthy Tech ecosystem means?
RK: conventional finances are relying on VC -> power issues -> create a bigger network of investors -> financial inclusion. A healthy tech ecosystem relies on the existence of a diversity of capital and funding that includes non-traditional players and alternative actors.
RB: A healthy tech ecosystem is a nice combination of entrepreneurs investors, social entrepreneurs with balance of gender, color, that stimulate people for innovation, balance and quality of life.
FO: A healthy ecosystem is promoted by people with diverse backgrounds (not only entrepreneurs, but also researches, students, freelancers, etc) -> innovation comes from diversity. A good ecosystem is messy and not predictable.
-> Access to finance (RK) -> Education (RB) -> Autonomy (FO)
What would you do with 2 Million euros?
RK: use it for co-financing -> show companies potential and give them additional funding on top
RB: hackathons / start-up weekends for good. Metrics for success? Synergies, collaboration, social businesses, Impact? -> numbers?
FO: you have to find out what the people need, saying no to possessive ideas.
RB: saying no to unethical behavior
FO: companies are structured by people -> are there common interests? -> some already have their own community (google, Alibaba) No funding to grow -> access to finance through google funds (lending club) Building an ecosystem -> how? From the ground up?
RB: inspire the society to start something new
What are successful ecosystems? Silicon Valley?
RK: Amsterdam around social finance, restrictions on venture capital
RB: attracting women and people of other color
FO: Where are we going so fast with so much money? Meaningful issues in Europe and France. Importance to make the overall economy grow as a whole.

Moderator: Nelly Baz (Co-Founder, hbr creative platforn)
Key insights/quotes
• Be patient about the outcome of recent design experiments in the region
• There is an old tradition of sharing in the region
• In the region, sharing with strangers happens out of need. See need economy
• There is no trust in big companies and payment systems by the people involved in the sharing economy
Interesting contributions
• Participant in the audience shared the story of a social coworking space in Tunis downtown as an example that incubates projects like a rooftop garden
• There is the big need throughout the region to create legal frameworks that support social entrepreneurship. Institutions are weak
• Local crowdfunding is not legally possible in Tunisia
• There are good examples how big companies can work with social entrepreneurs, such as a Phosphate company fostering entrepreneurship and the dialog with governments
• There is a larger share of female techentrepreneurs in the MENA region than in Europe
• There is a high use of social media for purposes of entrepreneurship in the MENA region
Next steps:
• The big challenge remains to involve and empower women
• We need initiatives that demonstrate policy makers that changes to the legal framework are urgently needed
• How can we establish collaborative dialogs between grassroots and governments?
• We acknowledge that the sharing economy is the big opportunity to help fight unemployment and youth poverty
• How to leverage design and critical thinking among more young people?
• A good approach might be to come back to our roots and traditions of sharing in the tribal days
• We need to learn the culture of learning and the act of true listening

Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions: How to move from making and rapid prototyping to citizen production? Role of makerspaces and the production redistribution? How are the small and the large scale connected? What is the role of maker spaces within the traditional economy?
3-5 key insights: Systemic perspective on the future of production 3D printing, fablab OS material library User centric approaches Makerspaces, democratization of production
Industry 4.0
Do consumers dictate the markets?
Is making and manufacturing the same thing?
HS: No, totally different motivations NL: First, prototyping in fablab: next step: production -> difficult transition AB: difference in money and timing MY: different frames, where are the boundaries between small and large scale? Fablab/makerspaces allow fast innovation but do not have the market timing up to the gap
Bottom-up as a factory of the future?
AB: difficulties of scaling up, using new technologies MY: How decentralized are decentralized manufacturing processes? HS: New type subjectivity
What is the risk and reward of making things?
AB: Adapting to users needs in B2B and B2C contexts
Big industries learning from fablabs? Is the role of fablabs in manufactury chains going to increase?
MY: Implementing small scale into big industries -> integration NL: Small projects can also have big impacts Major difference: community, transfer of knowledge How do the choices we make influence the whole ecosystem? HS: Transparency, having ways of working together with the planetary dept by data sharing and inventing social practicals -> regarding consequences of production

Moderator: Louis-David Benyayer (Forwarder, Without Model)
Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions:
LDB: Start-ups are built in opposition to large groups. The agreement between PSA and Ouidrive was forced to end. There was also controversy regarding the SNCF and Airbnb partnership. What forms of partnerships are available? How is it wise to build a partnership? What are the barriers and limitations?
3-5 key insights (specify qui speaker Said it):
Q1: Can you each give us an example of a partnership you start?
JVH: 2 years ago we began to connect with the SMEs. In 2015 we begin to decentralize and in 2016 we set up a partnership with RATP to provide a connected conciergerie to its passengers.
AOC: AXA with BlaBlaCar platform. We will ensure three things: The breakdown of the vehicle: it ensures that we will be there if the car breaks down in the nearest garage. If the driver is too tired or has any problem, the passenger who drives at his places will be covered by the insurance in case of accident. If for any reason the driver do not finish the ride, all passengers have the guarantee to arrive where they need to go. All passengers of the vehicle will have the guarantee of travel.
TO: structured relationship between MAIF and caraviers (YesCab rent a camper owner)
Q2: What those partnerships seek?
JVH: as a start-up in these partnerships that is interesting is pooling resources (human, technical, communication, etc) of a large group to accelerate growing.
AOC: we look for inspiration, and for a different way of seeing the world and providing services. We realize that our companies (large companies) can die, therefore we seek to understand what is happening and to think differently. What is important is the anchor in reality. Today the idea of being the owner of a vehicle is not a gift but a burden. The change is radical. We will be able to insure, to secure supply on the platform, to strengthen the quality of service of the start-ups.
TO: This is a matter of hybridization! Nothing is lost, everything is transformed. These platforms help reactivate innovation. 3 criteria: innovation, proximity and potential. The partnership with coolycar has started in 2009. It transforms our methods, even in management.
Q3: Which results you achieved with these partnerships that you did not expect?
JVH: For a start-up like ours, there is an increase in credibility. This inspires other major groups. With RATP it was fast enough. Sometimes one has to distance himself from the group to move forward.
AOC: We supported thew initiative before it was even registered, so we assumed the role of consulting and coaching the projects that were interesting.
TO: Our offer is to create confidence and bring quality. Start-ups wanted to customize insurance. Reputation was a partnership deal.
Q4: What is the key to the success of a partnership?
JVH: The creation of trust and inspiration are extremely important. But for a start-up it is fundamental to pay attention to: time and money. In the implementation of partnership, what is expected of the large group is to be open to innovation, to start small and grow together, a common growth, alignment of goals.
AOC: Getting back to the question of time and money that is worth is that it has implemented a range of devices to save time at the start-up. We started up a background that allowed us to get into this universe at the beginning with the financial means (this is what we had better to offer).
TO: The key criteria is experience: experience with service-based start-ups ... we are very attached to the experience we create.
public Q: What are the conditions of a successful partnership? Axa begins to have a good understanding of where we are going. Understanding of disruption, what is at stake. The support of the CEO is very important. Success stories are also important. But this is an alchemy - you have many things and it is fragile.
TO: There is the impulse that gives the DG. I really believe in empowerment, but also entrepreneurship. There is a complementarity in terms of operation for this to succeed.
**Q Public: Is the partnership limited in time?
TO: What is build together every day is what makes it lasts over time JVH: The RATP partnership involved a real project and it was pretty fast. It created a service offer to their customers. I wish they exploited more and create more communication around it. It's not about ideas, but time and money. Those who really badly exploit us are those who make us lose our time. Partnerships start fast, but are seen in the long term of service consumption, with at least a year of the experimentation to convince clients.

Will Farrelly (User Experience Innovation, Ford Smart Mobility, Ford of Europe), Erik Grab (Michelin), Yann LERICHE (Group Chief Performance Officer, Transdev Group), Yann Marteil (CEO, Via ID)
Moderator: Maureen Houel (General Manager, Autonomy)
Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions:
Are you rather undergoing an internal change or an external change ? How are you managing this cultural change ? Could you present one service which you’re working on right now ? How can you compete against tech giants (Apple, Google…) that are developing mobility tools ? Are you working with public authorities to help them anticipate the change ? (as it seems they are moving to slow, as we can see with Uber regulation) Big groups are testing new solutions. Do you think that companies are going to specialize, or still want to integrate all these different solutions ?
3-5 key insights (specify which speaker said it):
Yann Leriche : The mobility area, during decades, was limited to cars vs. public transport. Now, the landscape has totally changed, with many new ways to move from A to B (car sharing, uber, blablacar, …) and new services around mobility. Transdev has always been good for incremental innovation but bad for disruptive innovation. That’s why they built the digital factory (a company within transdev) in order to become better with disruptive innovation,
Will : Ford = disruption innovation both inside & outside (for example with the development of a shuttle service)
Yann Marteil : The creation of Via ID as an external change. It is a business accelerator : they invest in startups and create start-ups (Hitch, Drivy, Smoove (bike sharing) : some of these startups are becoming major actors !). They developed a global network, with offices in San Francisco, in China (to tackle the global market)
Yann Leriche : Sweden is one of the most innovative country. Transdev is partner with companies in Helsinki to create the first global mobility as a service provider. Goal : to offer a single service in order to compare all the mobile services in Helsinki, to book a transport and to benefit from other services linked to mobility.
Yanne Leriche : We need to focus on the consumer, not on competition with tech giants. By focusing on our consumers we will be successful.
Will : We can work with tech giants to provide mobility solutions. It’s not about beating these guys, but about where you want to play. Collaboration, joint ventures, etc help you leverage technology, progress, create value …
Yann Marteil : We are not very friends with Google and Apple. It’s a great perspective to see them come on the mobility field. They are not competitors, we can become partners (ex : they invest in Heliocity which is daily dealing with google Maps) Most of innovation don’t come from Apple and Google internally, they buy it to others. It’s going so fast that everybody is thinking that we should better work together than against.
Yann Leriche : We need to reinvent a way to operate vehicles without drivers. We don’t want to miss this transition, we are sure that autonomous cars are coming faster than most people think.
Yann Marteil : A company can move from one industry to another, or one product to another : you can also shift from cars to bikes !
Yann Marteil : We work with local authorities and government on a daily basis (Drivy is working with CNPA for example), everywhere we operate. It’s difficult to operate at the right speed, I don’t think that public authorities move too slow.
Yann Leriche : we are building our first open data software. The idea is to aggregate all the information about all transportation possibilities from A to B in order to choose the best alternative. To do that we could either use the private way (very expensive), or aggregate services from other players (then you need to have access to the data !).
Speakers:
Verena Butt d'Espous (Corporate Communications, BlaBlaCar), Paulin Dementhon (CEO and Founder, Drivy), Teddy Pellerin (CEO, Heetch)
Moderator: Marie-Xavière Wauquiez (Mobility and Logistic Project Manager, Paris and Co)
Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions:
A question for your 3 companies : Are you taking advantages the ones from the others ? Blablacar : Are your customers changing, after 10 years ? What device do your customers use mostly : smartphones, computers ? Infrastructure projects use to take more than 5 years to become realities for travellers (example of Notre-Dame-des-Landes not built after 50 years). What does your quick growth signify for the traditional mobility sector ? How do you see the arrival of autonomous cars in the next years ?
3-5 key insights (specify which speaker said it):
Teddy : We are developing new solutions for mobility at night (most of their uses are under 25, and live in the suburbs).
Paulin : We are close to 1 million users, doubling the activity each year. Our vision : in a few years it’s all gonna be about on-demand cars and no longer about car-rental !
Verena : 30 millions numbers in 22 countries, every month 12 million passengers : we are turning into a real infrastructure ! But it took us 5 years to get the first million of users.
Paulin : average age : 35. A lot of people joined Drivy after having had a good experience with another platform, an experience that helped them trusting other people in order to rent them their own car.
Verena : We recently made a study about How do you build trust ? One of the results is that we identified positive spillover effects from one platform to the other. A learning experience that globally benefits to the sharing economy.
Verena : Each time you’re starting in a new country, you’re starting from zero again. Each time you start with young people before becoming more mainstream. In France, only ¼ of our customers are students now, and our average user is 35 years old : our average user is becoming more and more representative of the society as a whole.
Verena : Our long-term view : we could reduce the need for additional infrastructure, by making the use of infrastructures more efficient. Platforms offer “invisible infrastructures” (ex of AirBnB during the Olympics in London : an additional housing capacity that is available when needed).
Paulin : A big political question of rail against road. Today, with the explosion of artificial intelligence, computing capacity, etc, the optimisation capacity for roads is much greater than for rail. We are suspicious with the way countries are still investing in huge infrastructure today.
Teddy : The big question for us now, regarding autonomous cars, is certainly regulation.
Paulin : Autonomous cars gonna be an ownership killer. Not everybody will own such autonomous cars ! It’s going to boost on-demand cars ! It’s a huge opportunity for us ! But a great threat is that all our businesses (Uber, Drivy, Blablacar…) are going to become the same : regardless the distance, regardless if it’s inner city or suburbs…

Moderator: Javier Creus (Founder, Ideas for Change)
Key insights/quotes
2-3 key questions: Could we patent our own genes ?
3-5 key insights (specify which speaker said it):
Giovanna : A web platform/organization dedicated to cancer, trying to involve patients or other people concerned to build the healthcare system. Cancer is a really democratic disease : everyone is concerned about this pathology.
Géraldine : I’m fed up with not having access to information (talking about health data that scientists don’t want to give to parents/patients). Why don’t we use crowdsourcing to gather information about genes ? Everything is related to genes. Data donors is a project to free data and open it to everybody.
Giovanna : How patients can become actors ? We’re going to try and make pressure on 2017 presidential candidates in France in order to make the health system more open.
Géraldine : One thing is to know that you have access to your data (this is the case in many countries), one thing is to ask for it, and one thing is to really get it.
All your lifestyle make your genes on and off. What happens if we put all the information together ? Using data collected by our smartphones, about our lifestyle (number of step/day, food habits, …) And by collecting all our data we would have more accurate diagnostics than the ones realized by scientists’ studies and experiments on 20, or 100 people.
Giovanna : We need to think data for research. It’s more acceptable than thinking data for control ! The individual needs to choose if they want to communicate their personnal data (if they smoke, if they exercise…) with other people, including their doctor.
Géraldine : Who is the major stakeholder of your health ? Yourself ! Doctor paternalism is dead. It’s a health riot, where decisions are not only taken by doctors.
Giovanna : I think it’s very theorical. But cultural, social inequalities push people to have incorrect behaviours. What is important is education, not control.
Géraldine : You’re already sharing tons of information on facebook, twitter, etc.. So why not sharing this information for good ?
Géraldine : Genes cannot be patterned. I’m not sure that healthy people don’t feel concerned about health. People like to compare themselves to other, and share a lot of data without being conscious that these datas are very much linked to their health.
I’m fed up with all the urban legends created by all these studies you hear about on TV.

Moderator: Servane Mouazan (CEO, Ogunte CIC)
Key insights/quotes
3-5 key insights (specify which speaker said it): Four programs using ICT in order to tackle a difficult topic : Violence against women.
Breakaway Game and youth camps
Alex : Technology is not a single bullet, you need to link it with a social work. Nowaday everybody is using technology. To raise awareness, document what’s happening, communicate, etc. woman rights activists must learn how to use technology.
Nancy : We help our user to evaluate their priorities and their concern with their safety in their relation with their partner You really have to understand the context of where you are working in order to develop a safety plan.
Jac : Take back the tech : A simple call to every users of internet to use the technology to end violence against women What are now experiencing women in real life is also taking place online. Most of online violence against women is targeted towards woman under 30.
Technology is able to shift and redistribute power. What are you going to use this power to fight against gender distorsion ? How can technology (high tech or low tech) help you into what you do ?
Antonella (Womanity) : Key points :
You need to get to know the community with which you are working very well, and engage with them in an intense manner. It takes a lot of courage to be disruptive, innovative in this space ! You also have to train people, and have the courage to challenge the old ways… Just the spirit of collaboration, solidarity, the empathy, the strong, the willingness to share and engage with people lead us to do all these projects !
Winner = Take back the tech
Lulu : The Internet is changing the politics of solidarity Jac : One of the most awesome things about this is to have the opportunity to work with some many people.
Workshops
Facilitators:
David Weingartner (Connector, OuiShare) & Guilherme Lito (Myself, Brownie do Luiz)
Key insights/quotes
In an ever changing economy moving fast towards a complex digitalized world, where can we reach out for inspiration and models of resilience? If we see earth as an organisation, we have to admit that its doing pretty damn well - running for 4,6 billion years, adapting to all kinds of disruptions, facing challenges, creating huge biodiversity and still thriving and generating abundance. In this workshop we want to explore new business models and design systems which are inspired by the accumulated wisdom of nature in its evolutionary process of learning through failing and thriving in a complex system.
Purposes: Converging point Opening space & community empowering in the sense that principle/pattern view should be brought across
Description of workshop format:
Frontal teaching with speakers sharing their experiences
4 groups of participants on the question: “What brought you here?”
Speakers giving examples to explain Permaculture principles
Participants applying principles for their own organisations with post-its to be put on the
posters that show the principles
3-5 key learnings:
• Nature works with complexity
• 12 principles of permaculture
• Sustainable solutions are slow and take time
• Subjects (humans) and objects (the environment) are not separate
• Simple changes in one’s life and daily behavioural patterns can be a rich experience for oneself and others
Interesting contributions
• We need to move beyond designing just technical systems but understand how principles from nature can be reapplied to our social context of life
Next steps:
• Incorporate the past into sustainable solutions of the future Key Points of the Workshop
**Introduction to models that:
a) connect nature principles to business .. Topics can include: Resilience in business (resilience Vs Efficiency in business models) - when dealing with suppliers and business development Complexity Vs Reductionism - how we measure success and impact in many dimensions, including business impact in communities, carbon footprint & other ecological indicators, happiness, personal freedom, etc
b) Designed following permaculture principles for efficiency & common good .. Purpose driven businesses. Purposes that have to do with enliving the planet and people's lives, in regenerating life and how this tends to bring abundance, as you nurture the system, the system nurtures you. .. I know the conference is on collaboration but maybe mention circular economy
Using some best practices examples as well as general narratives that audience at OuiShare Fest can relate to e.g.: Uber as "pioneer tree" preparing the ground for better initiatives to come (by "no design") while old species die bcs the ecosystem has changed Platform cooperatives as metaphor for symbiotic relationships Symbiosis / Parasite Something around the "use edges / value the marginal" principle .. We can think about the Teal Organizations that work self-managed and live this principle in dept as they give emphasis to the people in the margin, in contact with customers, vendors, product production line and eliminate the managers, having at their center the purpose of the company more than any other thing.
Methodology
1) Intro: Inspiration and motivation 5 min (David & Lito)
2) “Why are you here?” - triads (3x3 min) or circle - depending on group size 10 min
3) Group setting 25 min (e.g. 3 tables, 3 rounds of 10 mins each. looking at different angles - e.g. “important elements” or “whats missing?”) Ideas:
Biomimicry, Permaculture, Business inspired by nature
Design, Best Pracise, Sources
4) Wrap up & whats next 5min David & Lito
5) After discussion in separate

Key insights/quotes
Let's face it: collaboration is a pretty term but in practice, we all know that it can be a real pain.
We've all had the experience of working in a group of egos where internal competition gets in the way and soaks up the energy of the team. However, if you've been lucky enough, you've also had the fortunate experience of great team collaboration, where each team member becomes a leader and the colleagues fill you up with energy.
In this session we'll explore and reflect on the fundamental mind-set of collaborative leadership while practicing how to integrate it in our working culture and personal life.

Key insights/quotes
This short workshop based on the Platform Design Toolkit (www.platformdesigntoolkit.com) will help you understand what are the key entities in the ecosystem you want to examine, how the core value is created and how ancillary value streams are generated.
The workshop will also help you identify the key transactions and ensure that context or channels exist for these transactions to happen on the platform. You’ll also learn how to support and empower the evolution of participants toward better performances and how to help them thrive and produce better quality services from peer to peer interactions and how they can create larger social capital and reputation to make the platform thrive.

Description
People are sitting around tables of between 5 and 10 peoples. There is a questionnaire on the table and there is a powerpoint presentation about old vs new economy that you can find here. After the presentation they prepare us for the questionnaire you can find here. Everybody is invited to answer the first question and then they have to give it to people next to him/her till all questions are answered. Followed by feedback.
3-5 key learnings:
There is a problem in terminology around the new economy model, when you go to the internet you find all kind of therms. So why not put it all inside one bin and mix it up. There are plenty of alternatives but the key could be in relationships, connections between all those new therms: commons, green economy, social economy, sharing economy
Interesting contributions? :
Somebody realized through this workshop that her own company isn’t working towards the new economy, but still is stuck in the old economy model. It scared her, but after a few other contributions, a lot of people were having the same feeling. Is it bad to stay on the left (old model) side of the questionnaire? It isn’t always bad to continue working without decentralized system for example. Somebody also found out that the head office and middle-management aren’t in sync. When middle-management maybe wants to go to the new economy, head office is still a bit more cranky about changement. For them it works like it is.
3 key insights / quotes:
