Développé par la start-up Mindely, cet interviewer IA intervient lors des premiers tours des études de cas, si chronophages pour les consultants qui les prennent d’habitude en charge.

What’s often overlooked is that employee resistance to change is most likely due to the emotions behind the change, not the change itself. And in examining those emotions, the late Carl Frost offered four key questions that people ask themselves when they’re being asked to change. The answers to these questions determine their excitement, or resistance, to change.

ChatGPT, intégré à la plateforme logicielle de l’ordinateur, joue un rôle d’assistant. Il propose des réponses contextuelles aux messages reçus, simplifiant ainsi l’interaction pour les utilisateurs. Cette fonctionnalité rappelle les suggestions automatiques de Gmail. Pour Mark, cette technologie a été une véritable bouée de sauvetage. Bien que ChatGPT ne nécessite aucun changement matériel sur l’implant, les mises à jour logicielles permettent d’intégrer différentes IA, rendant le système adaptable et évolutif.

Mark, a 64-year old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on the Apple Vision Pro when he played Solitaire, watched Apple TV and sent text messages using the Synchron brain computer interface, hands-free. Mark is otherwise unable to use the Apple Vision Pro due to the loss of function of his upper limbs. Apple Vision Pro requires hand gestures to make item selections.

It’s been an unfortunate year for corporate sustainability targets. As we find ourselves at the halfway point of 2024, companies are standing in the looming shadow of their ambitious goals for 2025 – and some are having to admit defeat. Unilever kicked off the trend back in April. Despite its pledge to halve plastic consumption by 2025, it has taken a step back and amended its target to one-third by 2026. CEO Hein Schumacher cited his “need to drive performance in the company” and attributed the moving goalpost to shortcomings in existing recycling systems – but critics of the move warned that 100,000 tons of fresh plastic could now be produced annually as a result.

Beaucoup d’innovateurs ont réussi alors qu’il n’y avait a priori aucune demande pour leur produit. Ils ont dû créer leur marché. Comment ont-ils fait? En inventant un modèle d’affaire original. C’est la leçon de l’histoire édifiante d’Haloid, pionnière de la photocopie dans les années 50 et l’inconnue la plus célèbre de l’histoire de l’innovation.

Devenue l'épicentre de l'automobile mondiale, la Chine confirme son attractivité pour les constructeurs occidentaux, et plus seulement parce qu'elle représente le quart des ventes de la planète. Comme Volkswagen ou Stellantis, Renault est en train d'accroître sa collaboration avec des groupes chinois, pour profiter de leur puissance industrielle, et de leur savoir-faire.

It might be possible to effectively cure the most common form of asthma by using genetically engineered cells to kill off the rogue immune cells that trigger asthma attacks, a study in mice suggests. But making this kind of treatment affordable will be a major challenge, and its risks mean it would probably be given only to those who get life-threatening asthma attacks. “For most asthma patients, an inhaler is probably enough, however, approximately 250,000 people die from severe asthma annually,” says Min Peng at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. “[This] could be an option for those patients.”

With a verbatim record, you can thoroughly examine everything that was discussed and zero in on the key takeaways. While quantitative data provides important metrics, qualitative data adds depth, context, and human perspective to decision-making, especially when analyzed using AI tools for interview analysis.

In 2014, rumors started to circulate that Apple was developing a self-driving autonomous car to compete with Tesla. At the end of February 2024, rumors circulated that Apple was shutting down “Project Titan,” its car program. According to multiple media outlets, the only logical conclusion from the project’s death is that this decision signals the beginning of the end of Apple. As much as I enjoy hyperbole and unnecessary drama, the truth is far more mundane. The decision was just another day in the life of an innovation.

There remains a large gap between aspiration and reality. Gartner estimated that 85% of big data projects fail. There have also been embarrassing snafus, such as when Dow Jones reported that Google was buying Apple for $9 billion and the bots fell for it or Microsoft’s Tay chatbot went berserk on Twitter. Here’s how to transform the potential of AI into real results.

When we think about what microbes do, the first thing that comes to mind is that they help with digestion and energy metabolism. More recently, we've seen a correlation between the loss of gut microbiome diversity and the obesity pandemic across this country and across the world.

What if I told you that the evolution of television could learn a trick or two from the bustling, eclectic world of a flea market? It might seem like a stretch at first but consider this analogy: individuals with unused items at home lacking proper use and storage turn to flea markets. They package or repurpose their products to fit better the potential buyers’ needs, display them, and, if marketed well, sell them to make a profit instead of letting them gather dust.

A partir des années 80-90, McDonald’s a commencé à subir les attaques des diététiciens qui lui reprochaient de fournir une alimentation déséquilibrée, trop riche en sucres et en matières grasses. McDonald’s est également devenu une cible facile pour les pourfendeurs de la ‘malbouffe’. Pour répondre à ces attaques, McDonald’s a élargi sa gamme et a notamment introduit des salades et des fruits. L’ambition était alors de se débarrasser de cette image de restaurant bas de gamme offrant de la nourriture industrielle contraire aux recommandations diététiques. Dit autrement, McDonald’s a commencé à monter en gamme.

Finding and winning deals is getting more challenging. Three in four leaders say that private equity (PE) investments have grown more complex.

Une des grandes leçons de la théorie des organisations, qui a presque valeur de théorème, est qu’une entreprise ne doit avoir qu’un seul modèle d’affaires. Si elle en mélange plusieurs, ils se perturbent les uns les autres. Un bon exemple est celui de la SNCF.

L’opérateur public indien Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited a confié une mission de près de 15 millions d’euros au BCG pour un plan de relance sur 3 ans. Le syndicat des employés de BSNL y voit un recours « cosmétique » induisant des « dépenses inutiles ».

Cette plateforme baptisée « Shein Exchange » existe déjà aux Etats-Unis, où elle compte plus de 4 millions d'utilisateurs inscrits.
