Tailored Expertise Sourcing & Market Intelligence in Global Consulting

Un article de l’historien Jean-Baptiste Fressoz relance le débat sur l’activité du groupe-3 du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat. Il l’accuse de technophilie, et de sous-estimer le volet sociétal de l’action contre le changement climatique. Mais d’où vient le problème ?

We're living through an unprecedented paradox: your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. The Hidden Crisis Every executive I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly.

Political and social changes in the U.S. and other Western democracies in the 21st century have triggered growing concerns about possible erosion of academic freedom.
In the past, colleges and universities largely decided whom to admit and hire, what to teach, and which research to support. Increasingly, those prerogatives are being challenged.

Députée de la 9ᵉ circonscription de Seine-Maritime depuis 2022, elle a été réélue face à un candidat Rassemblement national, en juillet. En mal de reconnaissance, l’économie sociale et solidaire, qui prône un autre partage des richesses, pèse 14,9 % de l’emploi privé en France.

Unlike industries like beauty that maintain owned retail spaces for immersive brand experiences, packaging is often the only brand ambassador for grocery-bound products and their loyalty programmes are often reliant on retailers as well. Innovating in packaging designs can be a meaningful and low-cost brand activation for F&B players to encourage direct engagement.
By viewing packaging as an opportunity for purposeful dialogue with consumers, companies can develop strategies that turn transactional moments into emotional bonds. Interactive technologies like QR codes and NFC chips offer a cost-effective loyalty solution, but most brands underutilise them by linking only to basic product information. The real opportunity lies in crafting unique post-scan experiences that deliver exclusive content, turning each scan into a branded moment that deepens relationships. In fact, consumers are likely to grow into brand ambassadors through positive technology experiences.

Bloated, overpaid, outpaced by AI, and under fire from the Trump administration—big consulting firms confront a future they can’t outsource.

L’avis consultatif de la cour est à la hauteur des enjeux. Il dresse un cadre juridique robuste, articulé autour du droit international coutumier, des droits humains, du droit de la mer et de plusieurs traités clés, dont la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques de 1992, le Protocole de Kyoto de 1997 et l’Accord de Paris de 2015.

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. Son passage au sein du Department of Government Efficiency devait incarner le renouveau administratif américain. Il n’aura laissé qu’un goût amer, à l’image d’un projet sans cap et sans résultat. 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.”

Despite promising results from existing randomized controlled trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide in those with obesity-related HFpEF, regulatory authorities and professional societies have not approved or endorsed the use of these drugs for HFpEF, due in part to the studies’ relatively small sample sizes and unknown generalizability. The researchers therefore used data from three large U.S. insurance claims databases to emulate two previous, placebo-controlled trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide in new study populations that were an average of 19 times larger than those previously evaluated.

Tsinghua’s Agent Hospital was made up of 14 AI doctors upon launch. At its core, is MedAgent-Zero, the self-evolving AI framework developed by the University’s AIR (Institute for AI Industry Research). Moreover, in November of 2024, the “Zijing AI Doctor” was launched. Developed by a Tsinghua University spin-out start-up, Zijing Zhikang, to serve as the core component in AI Agent’s ecosystem.1 The system features 42 AI doctors across 21 clinical specialties, covering over 300 diseases. Furthermore, each specialty has trained its virtual agents on over ten common conditions. And finally, by creating a pool of half a million synthetic patient cases to test and evolve diagnostic accuracy. These AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in a matter of days, a feat that would take real doctors years to complete.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L. The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

J’ai testé pour vous pendant un mois le Minimal Phone — ce smartphone e-paper à clavier physique. Je voulais savoir si la combinaison d’un écran papier noir et blanc, d’un clavier physique et d’Android était une option viable pour reprendre en main sa vie numérique dans l’esprit de l’accompagnement que propose TeleCoop à ses abonnés mobile.

In recent years, the revolutionary field of immunotherapy has drastically reshaped the landscape of cancer treatment, pushing the boundaries of what modern medicine can achieve. Among these advancements, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy stands out as one of the most promising strategies that could redefine the future of cancer eradication. Building upon decades of immunological research, this innovative therapy harnesses the very cells of the immune system to specifically target and eliminate malignant cells, offering new hope to patients with otherwise refractory cancers.

Among the key findings, the report concludes that carbon dioxide (CO2) -induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial. Additionally, the report finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays. 

Unilever, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and other big names have signed an open letter calling for a ‘robust’ and ‘ambitious’ plastic pollution treaty to be finalized at INC-5.2. As members of the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, over 290 businesses, financial institutions, and NGOs state in the letter that they consider harmonized regulations the “most effective way to pursue a lasting impact on plastic pollution while delivering economic, environmental and social value” at a national and global level.

Shipments have propelled Ireland, a country of 5.4 million, to the second-largest goods-trade imbalance with the U.S., behind China.

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.

La Chine, en pleine expansion technologique, surprend le monde avec son projet de centre de recherche sur la fusion par laser. 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.
