Et si le fromage pouvait s’emballer lui-même ? C’est l’idée un peu folle – mais bien réelle – imaginée par Nestlé en collaboration avec l’agence Ogilvy Colombia. Baptisé Self-Packing Cheese, ce projet expérimental transforme un sous-produit laitier souvent jeté, le petit-lait, en un emballage biodégradable capable de protéger… du fromage.

Ce développement, révélé par des images satellites, suscite de nombreuses discussions et réflexions sur ses implications possibles. En dépassant la taille du National Ignition Facility (NIF) en Californie, cette initiative pourrait non seulement transformer le paysage scientifique, mais également influencer les dynamiques géopolitiques internationales. Les ambitions de la Chine dans ce domaine ne se limitent pas à la recherche énergétique mais s’étendent également à des applications militaires potentielles, accentuant l’intérêt et l’inquiétude à l’échelle mondiale.

L’idée : permettre aux joueuses et joueurs de savourer leur repas sans jamais quitter leur écran. Une création à la croisée de la food culture et du gaming, aussi inattendue qu’ultra ciblée.

Since then, we’ve applied AI in a variety of contexts: working on all kind of challenges (de processes, HR. communication, product and service development…) in very different sectors (pharmaceutical, food, bank, cosmetics…). Through these experiences, we’ve drawn some very clear conclusions.

Patients with type 2 diabetes initiated with metformin monotherapy had longer survival than did matched, non-diabetic controls. Those treated with sulphonylurea had markedly reduced survival compared with both matched controls and those receiving metformin monotherapy. This supports the position of metformin as first-line therapy and implies that metformin may confer benefit in non-diabetes. Sulphonylurea remains a concern.

The World Health Organization estimates that more than 118 million blood donations are collected each year—with 40 percent coming from high-income countries, home to 16 percent of the world's population. This means a large portion of the global population has limited access to blood transfusion treatment. Universal artificial blood could reduce preventable deaths in injury, surgery and childbirth—settings where supply mismatches or stockouts cost millions of lives annually in low-income nations alone.

DOGE n'aura pas fait long feu. Elon Musk, en pleine tempête médiatique, s’apprête à refermer sa parenthèse politique.

Pendant ce temps, Tesla, son empire technologique, vacille dangereusement.

Teamwork is a constant in organizational life. You will work on teams for the majority of your career. Some of those teams will be an uplifting, engaging experience—but most will be an average or even a draining experience. Because most teams aren’t high-performing ones. Most teams fail to achieve a level of performance above the average of each individual’s capabilities. Most teams lack what Stephen Covey would call “synergy” but what organizational psychologists call “collective intelligence.”

One of the most annoying things I hear from leaders is that “we had a great strategy, but just couldn’t execute it.” That’s simply not possible. If you can’t execute it, it’s not a great strategy. Most likely, it was a fantasy cooked up by some combination of consultants and investment bankers which was enshrined in PowerPoint.

A great product alone isn’t enough to stay ahead in today’s market. Businesses need to find new ways to generate revenue and build stronger customer relationships. One of the best ways to do this is by offering services—either alongside or instead of physical products.

So why are services such a valuable revenue stream? And what are the common mistakes businesses make?
