It is no longer a question of organizing themselves,

00:00:11

then transforming themselves to finally organize themselves differently,

00:00:15

as they did in the era of one-off changes.

00:00:19

In the era of permanent transformation,

00:00:21

on the contrary,

00:00:22

one must organize and transform oneself simultaneously and continuously.

00:00:28

The company becomes an organic living being,

00:00:31

an ecosystem in constant evolution,

00:00:34

and this requires 1,

00:00:36

a high degree of organizational flexibility,

00:00:39

and 2,

00:00:40

an immense agility

00:00:42

of the teams.

00:00:44

Today's company is only sustainable if it evolves in a dynamic balance,

00:00:49

adjusting to external transformations being at the same time.

00:00:54

Initiator of the internal transformation

00:00:57

while continuing to produce

00:00:59

a perilous exercise that sometimes resembles changing

00:01:02

the engines of an aircraft in midflight.

00:01:06

Yes,

00:01:06

everything is accelerating around the company.

00:01:09

The revolution is technological and digital robotics,

00:01:13

nanotechnology,

00:01:14

artificial intelligence,

00:01:16

AI.

00:01:16

What's next?

00:01:18

Elon Musk says that the company that

00:01:20

will get the first super artificial intelligence

00:01:24

might achieve world domination.

00:01:26

He also claims that the advanced AI will be easily

00:01:30

usable to manipulate social media platforms such as Facebook,

00:01:35

Twitter,

00:01:35

Instagram.

00:01:37

If regulation and control are not decided quickly,

00:01:40

artificial intelligence could become a dictator

00:01:43

regulating our business and our lives.

00:01:47

In 2019,

00:01:48

the companies holding the most patents

00:01:50

related to artificial intelligence were Microsoft,

00:01:54

IBM,

00:01:55

Samsung,

00:01:56

Qualcomm,

00:01:58

Google,

00:01:58

Phillips,

00:01:59

Siemens,

00:02:00

Sony,

00:02:01

Intel,

00:02:02

and Canon.

00:02:03

According to a study published by Accenture,

00:02:06

75% of executives believe that their company could disappear

00:02:11

by 2025 if it does not succeed in deploying artificial intelligence.

00:02:16

In September 2019,

00:02:18

the Financial Times announced that Google

00:02:21

had achieved the first quantum calculation.

00:02:25

Researchers in quantum computing at the Californian giant Google would have

00:02:30

succeeded in solving an unsolvable problem for a conventional supercomputer.

00:02:36

Their experimental system performed in 3 minutes,

00:02:39

a calculation that would take 10,000 years to

00:02:42

complete on North America's most powerful supercomputer.

00:02:46

It's going fast,

00:02:48

very fast,

00:02:50

and

00:02:51

dare I say it,

00:02:52

almost too fast for all human brains to

00:02:56

anticipate or even adjust to the transformations.

00:03:00

Soon it will be AI itself

00:03:03

that will change organizations and define the strategy to be followed

00:03:08

to adjust to the tidal wave of technological progress it generates.

00:03:13

Humans will still have the ability to create,

00:03:16

to invent

00:03:17

ability that no machine will be able to obtain.

00:03:20

The machine can only decide and work on

00:03:23

the basis of its existing comparative database.

00:03:27

In this,

00:03:28

machines will very quickly surpass any human brain,

00:03:31

but

00:03:32

having a consciousness and being able to create

00:03:34

from nothing has only been gifted to humans.

00:03:37

Millions of jobs will soon disappear because they will be replaced by machines.

00:03:43

Factory employees and office workers,

00:03:46

new jobs will be created,

00:03:48

but it won't be enough to keep everyone active.

00:03:51

Society and its relationship to work will also be turned upside down.

00:03:56

The permanent transformations that employees experience within their

00:04:00

company for those who are still active,

00:04:03

will accelerate to a paroxysm.

00:04:05

Tomorrow,

00:04:06

the world will evolve faster than today.

00:04:09

It seems to me

00:04:11

that the transformations that companies are experiencing today

00:04:14

are only paltry copy of the technological

00:04:17

and commercial breakthroughs they will experience tomorrow.

00:04:21

Even the changes through the COVID-19 crisis were a test run

00:04:26

before the real transformation race.

00:04:29

Companies and employees are more and more asked to be agile.

00:04:33

The demand for agility sometimes resembles a last call

00:04:37

adapt to transformation or die,

00:04:40

because tomorrow you will not be confronted with transformation,

00:04:43

but with revolution.

00:04:45

Technology will redefine a new world.

00:04:49

Unaware of the real impact of change on their company

00:04:52

and the urgency to transform in order to survive,

00:04:55

many employees experience change badly

00:04:58

or even resist it by proclaiming themselves the

00:05:01

victims of changes imposed by the hierarchy.

00:05:05

Some employees refuse to be actors and drivers of permanent transformation,

00:05:10

what some call continuous improvement.

00:05:14

Others are subjected to it,

00:05:16

forced to evolve without sometimes knowing why or how.

00:05:21

We understand their questions and complaints.

00:05:23

The lack of vision and education on the part

00:05:26

of decision makers often accentuates fears and resistance.

00:05:31

43% of executives say they are not well informed about their company's strategy.

00:05:37

It is by informing employees and managers and

00:05:40

giving them a place in the strategy of change

00:05:43

that they will become involved in it.

00:05:45

Not all of them,

00:05:46

of course.

00:05:47

There will always be fighters against change.

00:05:50

There always has been,

00:05:51

even in the time of Socrates.

00:05:54

Humans,

00:05:55

especially the younger generations,

00:05:57

are also initiators of changes to which the company must adapt.

00:06:02

The change of consciousness feeds change.

00:06:05

To use my analogy,

00:06:07

not only does the aircraft,

00:06:08

that is the company,

00:06:10

have to change its engines in midflight to keep up with the new technological sky,

00:06:15

but it also has to manage these changes with a brand new crew,

00:06:19

a crew permanently connected to technology,

00:06:22

crews who require more time and workspace flexibility,

00:06:26

who require more autonomy and decision making space.

00:06:30

Young people pushing down the hierarchy from its pedestal.

00:06:34

Young people who aspire to a career in continuous evolution,

00:06:38

continuous learning,

00:06:40

diversity,

00:06:41

the possibility of changing positions every 2 years maximum.

00:06:46

They also want more time for their social and personal life.

00:06:50

If the company wants to hire and retain talents,

00:06:54

it will need to know how to respond to their demands.

00:06:58

My comments may seem worrying or even pessimistic.

00:07:02

I'm not.

00:07:03

Certainly the machine will soon have more physical capacity than any human being.

00:07:09

Certainly artificial intelligence will soon have more mental capacity

00:07:14

than any human being.

00:07:16

So

00:07:17

can we put all this at our service?

00:07:20

Conscious humans,

00:07:21

conscious business,

00:07:23

that is the key.

00:07:25

Conscious of the technological revolution

00:07:28

that will be sweeping over us this year with its benefits and risks,

00:07:33

aware of the greatness of the human being and of the fact that this technology

00:07:38

must above all be regulated in order to remain at the service of the human being

00:07:45

and conscious of their freedom of choice,

00:07:48

where do I want to go as an individual?

00:07:50

Where do we want to go as a company?

00:07:52

Our mission is to make very conscious choices and to create around these choices

00:07:58

since

00:07:59

the ability to create and invent

00:08:01

is and will

00:08:03

remain

00:08:04

human.
