#1 WEIRD as a business shared by Patrick KervernΒ
WEIRD as a serviceΒ published on May 22nd 2021 in the not to miss newsletter In bed with social by Marie DollΓ©
Digital fragrance as NFT, a $40 billion Dogecoin market cap, unprecedented stock market speculations, Excel Dresses, Alien Eggs Fetishes... With the pandemy, Weirdness seems to be on crack argue Marie DollΓ© & Patrick Kervern in this co-written analytical piece.
But historically weirdness typically follow intense and dramatic periods. "Poulaines" those weird medieval pointy shoes were invented after Black Plague Wiped out 30 to 60 percent of the European population. Weird is also a great sign of business opportunity. As hedge fund investor, Adam Robison advises : "Things that don't make sense are your best learning opportunities."
Some people like serial weirdo-entrepreneurs likeΒ Danielle Baskin, who foundedΒ Maskalike Are masters of Weirdness. Two key products she has imagined. Branded fruits and a "Derecruiter" service. The post-pandemic word is going to be weird, unexpected and full of opportunities...

π Emmanuel MACRON aurait pΓ» choisir des anecdotes plus profondes, qui ont un rΓ©el sens et donnent une image de sa vision de la France, et ainsi marquer encore plus de points. Le coup marketing reste trΓ¨s bien orchestrΓ© !
π Les histoires ont trois fonctions : crΓ©er du lien avec son public, donner du sens, elles doivent Γͺtre Γ©difiantes. Dans les histoires vraies que le prΓ©sident a racontΓ© dans la vidΓ©o, la premiΓ¨re fonction est bien prΓ©sente, mais pas les deux suivantes.
Emmanuel MACRON a-t-il tirΓ© pleinement parti de la vidΓ©o avec McFly & Carlito ? π Lorsqu'il s'agit de prendre des dΓ©cisions (par exemple voter pour les Γ©lections prΓ©sidentielles), c'est la sympathie qui prend souvent le pas sur le rationnel. L'objectif du prΓ©sident est bien sΓ»r ici de marquer des points de sympathie auprΓ¨s du public.

#4 European recovery with Julien Triverio
Which euro-zone economies are bouncing back quickest? published on May 29th 2021 on The Economist (paid article but free takeaways thanks to Julien)
Lockdown restriction are easing, vaccination program is charging ahead, Germany companies are most optimistic in 2y ... however Europe recovery won't be widespread (North vs South countries) Italy/Spain underperformed vs Germany/France: household consumption hit harder in the South, longer lockdown + drought in tourist revenue.
...But, Italy/Spain are bouncing back faster, thanks to : - Looser travel restrictions (12% of Spain GDP from tourism) while Germany struggles with bottlenecks issue. - Excess savings higher in harder hit countries, so likely to spend much. - EU fiscal response (EU recovery fund): direct more cash to Italy/Spain -> will boost growth.... but might not be enough for Southern countries to catch up with Northern. Would need an other round of stimulus to tackle inequalities.

#5 Back in the office with Marine Bassieux
Travail et Management post-crise: βlβhumain devra Γͺtre remis au coeur de toutβ(Alexandre Mars) published on May 28th 2021 in Courrier Cadres
La crise nous a obligΓ© Γ nous adapter. Oui, il est possible de manager et de continuer Γ travailler Γ distance et en visio. Cependant, il est certain que nous perdons une partie des informations, uniquement visibles lors des rΓ©unions en physique. Impossible donc de penser Γ garder ce mode unique de travail Γ distance pendant 10 ans.
Recruter des bons talents ne suffit pas. Il faut ensuite leur donner l'autonomie nΓ©cessaire pour se dΓ©velopper ! C'est son principe de management principal : faire en sorte que chacun ait suffisamment de marge de manΕuvre pour apporter sa pierre Γ l'Γ©difice et briller ! Pour cela, deux moyens : π Γviter les cloisonnements et une hiΓ©rarchie trop pesante. π Les rencontres et moments d'Γ©changes entre Γ©quipes, comme les sΓ©minaires.
Alexandre Mars est convaincu et optimiste pour l'avenir, surtout en ce qui concerne les nouvelles gΓ©nΓ©rations. Ils trouvent les jeunes de 35-55ans porteurs d'un message plus altruiste et citoyen. Ces gΓ©nΓ©rations sont plus portΓ©es par le sens et l'apport du travail. Cela permet de remettre au centre l'humain et l'impact sociΓ©tal des entreprises, pour que chacun devienne activiste.
