"The Innovative Mindset" is not just a conference on digital transformation, it is a real invitation to rethink the way we learn, collaborate and lead. By sharing his experience of transformation at La Presse, Jean-Marc De Jonghe demonstrates that the success of a digital transition is based on adaptability, collaboration and, above all, on people. The impactful images of his presentation reinforce this message: to be relevant tomorrow, we must dare to reinvent ourselves today.
The conference is resolutely optimistic. Jean-Marc reminds us that change, although inevitable - often difficult, rarely self-imposed - opens the way to new opportunities. By adopting an "innovative mindset" - that is, accepting uncertainty, continuously learning and placing the human at the center of the transformation - organizations can not only survive but also thrive in a constantly changing world.
Topics covered:
Speed of change, learning, collaboration, openness to change, world of tomorrow, etc.
The speed of change around us is now dizzying. Technology, markets, customers, competitors, employees, etc.; nothing escapes it! To survive, we are all doomed to adapt, innovate and transform ourselves continuously.
At this conference, Jean-Marc humbly shares with us his experience as a leader and privileged witness of the titanic transformation of La Presse and the creation of its innovative products: the digital edition for tablets La Presse+, the Mobile app and its "Mobile first" creation tools in order to share with us learning that will inspire us to find innovative solutions to our problems of tomorrow and will help us personally create the professional career of our full potential.
Review of this great experience and sharing of 5 learnings that allowed us to activate innovation.
