IT STARTED A LONG TIME AGO
Adapt and transform
My first programming experience when I was a kid was an old electronic calculator with a 127*16 pixels. During my years in the industry, I have often been faced to the limitation of computing power of the machines. I have learned from this experience to adapt architecture and algorithms to the constraints of the hardware or the eco-system.
But also, during my university education in computer sciences and computer graphic, I was fascinated by the potential of the digital change and the artificial intelligence in its various form (decision tree, neuronal network or simple natural computing).
In the last years, we have seen that the progress of technologies has now unleash the potential of algorithms developed years ago but limited until now by the computing power and storage capacities.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Change is coming faster than we expect
I strongly believe that the digital change will soon go faster than the ethical point of view that we have on it. If we think about it, the 3 basic robotic laws were created from a short story written in 1942 by Isaac Asimov
This means that considering that power, storage or technologies will remove current boundaries, it is important for each domain to understand how the digital change will transform their business.
Changes like radiosity for 3D rendering, neuronal network models or … most simply the game Pokemon Go, are examples that disruption of practices will often come with technologies or principles that were used in a different context.
So, digital change will affect all our activities with solutions coming from big groups, technologic breakthroughs but more often from challengers that have a valuable idea.
ABOUT DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
What is different really ?
To answer to this question, remember your first experience driving a car…
It was first so exciting and fast compared to walking from home.
But you soon realized that your way to move, look ahead for obstacles and plan for a trip has to be different.
Using digital technologies is the same, you need to challenge your believes and understand the new eco-system to benefit from it.
MY EXPERIENCE
I had the chance to
work in various business and technical positions
Production for fashion and automotive, cockpit simulation, physical and hybrid tests, production lines, digitalization of processes, satellite communication, content management system, digital services for inflight entertainment, digital platform for innovation …
Each of those experiences have brought a new set of challenges, questions and knowledge on aspect of the digital change
When you switch from one domain to another, or one type of job to another, you have the chance to review what you know, step back and find how to convert your fresh views to products and services
EXCHANGING IDEAS
I am not a professional writer
To drive the development of the products, like many product managers, I had to learn to explain my ideas to various audience from technical colleagues, to stakeholders and C-Suite.
I also hired and trained more than 50 interns, partipated in web-conferences, regional and national events.
During my career, I had the chance to meet with many smart and passionated persons. I love the exchange and what I learned from them.
Three years ago, I decided to start to write some posts to keep a track of those great exchanges and ideas that emerged from there
I am now also working on a book about the mindset and approach to create a digital product
HOW TO CONTACT ME
I would love to hear from you !
I am always eager to meet with someone that bring ideas from a different culture, experience, business and angle.
