With International Men’s day just passed, the timing of this last short post in the “beyond the buzz” series is very lucky. The big trend of “engaging men in women’s issues” is interesting and deserves a deeper look. But this subject deserves a reframe in 3 other key

A few weeks ago, I participated in a private survey on the next major automotive trends to look out for, organized by a key player of this value chain. Although I do participate quite often in such surveys for various markets, they are usually kept under strict confidentiality rules. This
The principle of technology disruption, or what I prefer to describe more explicitly as death by Moore’s law, is not just catchy headlines. It’s real, it’s ongoing, and it’s still vastly misunderstood. In 2017, I was teasing executives attending my trainings or keynotes on innovation with

It’s pretty much back to work at Innovation Copilots after a hectic few last months. To get back in the groove of writing and sharing ideas on innovation and strategy on the blog, I thought I would start with a few books that were part of my summer’s
These last weeks have been, hectic and you’ve seen me posting a bit less than usual. Among other things, I spent quite some time giving webinars to a few of our industrial customers in Europe. The need to address innovation programs retooling is quite pressing for everyone. A part
