The Chair
Who are we?
Inspired by
The world changes. The convergence of an urbanized world with hyper connectivity came to upset both way of life and style of entrepreneurship in our territories.
Places of life and sharing where a variety of needs and societal uses intersect, thus no component is escaping this transformation. The revolutions are many and they question us in depth: technological transfers (digital and its implications), the ecological challenge (climate change and sustainable development), new urban lives (smart cities, smart citizens), cultural and social issues (Z generation, silver economy), new business models and governance…
In this world in transition, complex and interdependent, we have to rethink the links between economy, territory and society.
Companies as well as national and local public authorities have to take the measure of these changes to survive: the value creation takes different forms, the business models are renewed, and the organizations reinvent themselves – as in-house as in their relations with the stakeholders (customers and suppliers, territory, employees, social networks).
In this context, all the actors have to reposition and develop novel capacities of adaptation and learning.
Disruptions, servicisation, dematerialization, ecosystems, inclusive innovation, sustainability, collaborative economy, ubiquity, social reputation, are so many realities that should be mastered to build the change.
