Today , managers have to optimize and sometimes to reegine their activities to achieve continuous improvement requested by General Management. This requires implementation of so-called ” quality ” approaches often based on the concepts of lean management . They should not only Read more

Le monde de l’entreprise change, il est de plus en plus fréquent de voir les ordinateurs remplacer les humains au travail. Le phénomène est plus rapide dans les pays comme la France où les impôts et les charges sociales pèsent plus lourdement sur les salaires. Il se produit par un mouvement silencieux qui pousse peu à peu les gens vers des emplois à temps partiel ou le chômage. La seule main d’œuvre épargnée est constituée des travailleurs hautement qualifiés capables de maîtriser les technologies en même temps que l’organisation du métier de l’entreprise 1. Les pays dont la consommation est le moteur de croissance, souffrent fortement d’un pouvoir d’achat au point mort ou en baisse. Ceux tournés vers l’exportation semblent réussir beaucoup mieux, la concurrence se durcit cependant dans un contexte déflationniste 2 .
Dans un tel contexte, les dirigeants d’entreprise ont du mal à maintenir ou à atteindre un niveau de résultat d’exploitation répondant au attentes d’investisseurs de plus en plus exigeants sur le taux de retour sur investissement. Ils se battent aussi pour maintenir le niveau de chiffre d’affaire dans un marché lui-même affecté par le contexte économique général. La crise a été un bouc émissaire utile, elle a été une explication aisée du chômage et des troubles endurés par les entreprises. Elle est cependant terminée et la gueule de bois est toujours là.
Pour espérer survivre, les entreprises doivent se transformer. Pour autant, toutes ne seront pas en mesure de le faire, seules celles qui parviendront à obtenir des fonds pour financer le changement et, parmi elles, celles qui réussiront à mettre en œuvre le changement. Il reste peu de temps pour se mettre à l’ouvrage.
Tout cela serait nouveau, si les sociétés de conseil et d’édition n’avaient pas martelé ce message pendant des années. D’ailleurs pour beaucoup d’entreprises la transformation est déjà en cours3
Business is changing, more and more computers are replacing humans at work, it is quicker in countries like France where heavier taxes and contributions weigh on salaries. This is a silent move which pushes people to part time jobs or disoccupation. The only spared workers are the high skilled one able to deal with technologies and business organisation1. Countries where consumption is a growth engine, are suffering as purchasing power is stalling or decreasing. Those turned toward exportation fare much better. But competition is hardening in a deflationary context.
CEO are struggling to maintain or reach an operating income level which is today less and less compatible with investors requiring more and more return on capital. They are also fighting for Revenue as customers are affected themselves by business environment changes. Crisis is a good scapegoat, it explains disoccupation and companies troubles. But now it is over and hangover is still there.
To hope to survive, companies need to transform themselves. Even so, not all will be able to proceed, only those which will get capital to finance the change and only those which will succeed into executing the change. Not much time will be left to start.
All of this would be new, unless consulting and editing companies have not rapped out Transformation for years.
What should be transformational directions ?
Is America really running a race against the Machine ? Even if in August unemployment slipped to 7.3 %, its lowest level for five years, it is due mainly to people giving up to search a job. In the same time the part of American worker hits as well its lowest point for years. 
In their book, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee explained that the trend has started many years before as it is shown in the picture below (more…)
By now, word Innovation flourishes often on political and managers lips as many entrepreneurs dream to transform an idea in gold. This is the modern rush. Looking at carefully, allows to discover soon that the race is likely to have few winners against many loosers. If United States seems to come close to win, among loosers lay old Europe. Are old fashioned countries showing so much resistance to change that it will anihilate all innovation benefits ?
To show what is happening, let’s consider a simple economy of four producer groups :
Let’s suppose that this order is matching the order of needs and all production cater everybody for what he needs.
There no money, this is a barter economy everybody gets his goods exchanging his own production for all his needs.
At this this moment, economy is at equilibrium.
All the the game will be to try to shock this model with population growth DP
There are many talks about re-industrialization of France discussing on industrial production and services, as there is great hope based on multiplication of plants expected to increase employment and thereby, providing an answer to the question of unemployment. However, it has long been known that industrial production and services are atoms of the same molecule, they are inseparable. Could you imagine one second a car without credit services without updated board computer, without pre-sales services, sales, after-sales services?
Clients show primarily interested in the uses they are doing of products, or those that accrue to their own customers, uses, agreeing in the broadest sense, include aspects emotional and aesthetic benefits. For example, energy companies through the acquisition of a nuclear plant are primarily concerned with the best combination of products and services that will ensure continuous production of energy, as well, airlines do not size up technology aircraft, but the combination of products and services that offers the most hours of flight. All whish suppliers basing their commitments on that. It is the ignorance of this logic that led to the failure of Concorde tough it was a technological feat.
