The transformation of companies, it is our ordinary, to us consultants in strategy and management. It's also yours, yours leaders whose companies have become permanent construction sites. What we have learned, what we learn every day through our professional practice, we want to share it with you. You will not find in the issues of La Revue any recipe, any miracle concept, which is sure to give you a tremendous leap in competitiveness. We offer you food for thought here. Neither sermons nor lessons, but rather reading grids to help you separate the wheat from the chaff.
And because we like discussion, we make outside personalities react to the ideas we develop:
> business leaders such as Michel BON, Stéphane DEDEYAN, Alain DININ, Jean-René FOURTOU, Maurice LÉVY, Serge PAPIN, Franck RIBOUD, Jean-Dominique SENARD
> philosophers and researchers such as Jacques ATTALI, Richard BARRETT, Jean-Christian FAUVET, Isaac GETZ, François JULLIEN, Gaspard KOENIG, Jean STAUNE, Patrick VIVERET
> personalities committed to corporate responsibility and sustainable development such as Göran CARSTEDT, Andrea d'AVACK, Geneviève FERONE, Christophe ITIER, Hélène VALADE

Responsibility: from discourse to contribution
Digital questions the very essence of companies, it transforms everything in its path. But techno does not replace men, quite the contrary. The socio-digital transformation even relies on them, while questioning their role, their added value, by opening up new fields of reflection on structures, organizations and technical architectures.

The spotlight is on measurement, to question dashboards solely oriented on performance and to question a proliferation of indicators that alters discernment. Because how to become alert when the gaze is fixed on these only indicators? How to anticipate in a VUCA world by looking in the rear view mirror?

Towards a sustainable society: debate between Michel-Edouard Leclerc and Franck Riboud
2nd part announced in number 12 which develops the subject of the dynamics of action: to govern, to make mature, to act and to make act.
Time, rhythm and saving energy are at the heart of the matter. The conduct of transformations is not a sequential process: there is no before, no after; piloting, maturation, setting in motion take place at the same time; we give ourselves time while knowing how to speed it up at the right moment, when the circumstances are favourable; we don't wait to have thought about the transformation and specified the target before setting the teams in motion...

Driving sociodynamic transformation
The creative strategy makes it possible to change the state of mind, to seek sources of inspiration, to tap into the immaterial assets of the company in order to find the bases of a new model, able to resist a hectic environment. .
The strategic dialogue makes it possible to think of the strategy with several people, beyond the usual select committee. It turns out to be very relevant when the stakeholders are numerous, the diversity of skills is great and the specific geographical features are strong.

No. 13
New strategic approaches : each objective has its own approach
Companies must take sustainable development into account in their strategy. But how can this responsibility be best expressed, in the field, where the problems have to be dealt with? It is a question of making all the players, each at their own level, bearers of the transformation and developing their capacity for initiative. The question of management is therefore at the heart of the debate.

Sustainable development: moving from intention to concrete results
This first part invites us to draw inspiration from the wisdom of the gardener who knows how to deal with nature's adversity, use the forces present, cultivate diversity and resort to fallow land if necessary.
It gives principles to follow to deal with complexity: install favorable conditions, act in time, neither too early nor too late, do not let events overwhelm you.

Two ways to cultivate your differences:
Companies can transform the obligation of sustainable development into opportunities for growth. Because if they generate disturbances in their environment, they are also a formidable reservoir of energy, skills and financial, technological and human resources, which politicians have every interest in rediscovering. They are able to imagine and implement solutions capable of revolutionizing the business world.

Sustainable development, "It's the economy, stupid!"
Exploring the paradigm of mimicry and singularity enlightens the leader to stay the course. Because mimicry operates in the register of standards, of safety (following procedures, adopting best practices, etc.), it gives power to the boat. Because singularity operates in the register of creativity (standing out from the crowd, inventing the future, etc.), it allows the company to take a step ahead of its competitors and chart its course.

Introductory article: transformation is not change. There is no beginning, no end. It concerns both men and organizations, two dimensions that it apprehends together. It is achieved over time, aiming for a medium or even long-term time horizon. It takes into account all the complexity of the management and the organization, without a priori on the domain or domains to be privileged.
