L’Unil décrypte l’actualité (web):

“Considéré presque comme le 3e plus grand pays du monde avec 900 millions de fans, 250 millions de photos téléchargées et 2.8 milliards de ‘like’ par jour, Facebook est le mastodonte des réseaux sociaux. Mais pour combien de temps encore ?

Le modèle d’affaires de Facebook peut-il durer au-delà de l’engouement de son énorme cotation boursière ? Que se passe-t’il dans les coulisses de l’entreprise de Palo Alto ? Pourquoi Facebook choisit maintenant de faire son entrée en bourse ? Dans ce 5e numéro de la série ‘HEC Lausanne décrypte l’actualité’, Yves Pigneur, Professeur de systèmes d’information, décortique le ‘business model’ de Facebook et apporte une grille de lecture pour mieux comprendre son succès planétaire.”

Workshop on business model innovation at IMD partnering with Veolia (news) on April 4th, invited by Prof. Cyril Bouquet.

After the Cyril’s intro on the “Deep dive” approach, the workshop aims at learning about and applying a business model canvas to describe, challenge, and design business models. The second topic covers design thinking and the “managing as designing” paradigm. Several powerful examples of business model innovation and industry changes are explored, such as Nespresso, Cirque du Soleil, Nintendo Wii, Apple iPod/iTunes, SunEdison, and many more. The attendees can explore and prototype business models using design thinking and customer development to boost future growth.

Seminar on LEGO Serious Play given by Eli De Friend (ça presse) at EPFL, invited by Prof. Alain Wegmann and Gil Regev.

The Lego Serious Play methodology is based on the knowledge that play is intimately connected with learning. 80% of our brain cells are connected to our hands, which makes the involvement of our hands in the thinking process a powerful tool for playing with ideas, seriously! LEGO building materials offer a flexible 3-dimensional building system, a language that anyone can use to express the depth and possibilities of their ideas. This methodology unlocks the potential of individuals and unleashes their creativity, which can be channelled towards supporting the development of creative design skills, as well as for team-building, strategy development, fast-prototyping.
