✨ Prendre le pouvoir pour changer le monde 🌍 Nous avons eu l’immense plaisir d’accueillir Julie Battilana (H.01) au bureau des alumni HEC Paris à l'occasion de la sortie en France de son livre "Le Pouvoir pour Tous" (DUNOD). Professeure à la Harvard Business School, fondatrice de l’initiative Social Innovation + Change Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School, Julie est une voix pionnière de l'innovation sociale et du changement. Au côté de Rodolphe Durand, ils ont exploré les grands thèmes du livre dans une conversation aussi passionnante qu'inspirante. 🗨️ Julie Battilana : « 𝐼𝑙 𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑙 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑑𝑒 𝑙𝑎 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒́ 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝑑’𝑒𝑥𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑟 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑒́𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑢𝑠 𝑒𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑎 𝑑𝑒́𝑚𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒. » Avec une analyse percutante, Julie nous invite à reconsidérer ce que signifie pouvoir : non pas une force brute réservée à quelques privilégiés, mais une énergie accessible à chacun, pour renforcer la démocratie, transformer son travail et, in fine, améliorer la société. 🔑 Les points essentiels à retenir : 🔸 La puissance du récit : Depuis toujours, ceux qui détiennent le pouvoir utilisent des récits pour justifier leur position. Ces histoires, profondément ancrées dans nos sociétés, mêlent raison et émotion pour consolider les hiérarchies existantes. 🔸 Conditions du changement : ◼️ Les grandes transformations surviennent souvent après des crises (catastrophes naturelles, guerres, crises économiques, innovations technologiques). ◼️ La solidité d’une hiérarchie de pouvoir dépend de son enracinement ; plus une hiérarchie est récente, plus elle est vulnérable. ◼️ Pour défier l’ordre établi, les acteurs du changement doivent offrir une vision alternative du partage du pouvoir. 🔴 Trois actions pour un impact concret : Agiter, Innover, Orchestrer : ◼️ 𝐋𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬 mettent en lumière les failles du système et mobilisent l’opinion publique. ◼️ 𝐋𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬  conçoivent des solutions concrètes pour répondre aux doléances identifiés par les agitateurs.  ◼️𝐋𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬 assurent la mise en œuvre des solutions à grande échelle. 🔎 Ensemble, nous pouvons redessiner les hiérarchies de pouvoir. Les déséquilibres sont encore massifs, mais l’histoire prouve que des changements sont possibles lorsque nous agissons ensemble. Julie Battilana nous inspire à devenir des citoyens plus conscients, plus engagés, et à mettre notre pouvoir individuel au service du collectif. Merci, Julie, pour cette exploration inspirante de ce que pouvoir signifie réellement ! avec Marguerite Gallant, Janet O'Sullivan, Bénédicte Faivre-Tavignot, Marieke Huysentruyt, Cécile de Lisle (Lavrard-Meyer), Romain Briat, Anne Jacqueminet, Elisabeth de Réals, Céline Bonnet-Laquitaine, Laurianne Thoury, Alix Le Corre

🌍 Transformer l'économie pour l'Anthropocène : 7 leçons fondamentales pour les étudiants d'aujourd'hui et les leaders de demain 🌱 Le 29 août dernier, François Gemenne, professeur à HEC Paris et auteur principal du 6ème rapport du #GIEC, introduisait le cours obligatoire « Les Enjeux Planétaires » pour les 400 nouveaux étudiants de la Grande Ecole. Son objectif ? Confronter la prochaine génération de dirigeants aux défis critiques de notre temps : 𝐫𝐞́𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥’𝐞́𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐮𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞́𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞. 🎥 Nous avons capté son intervention pour vous : https://lnkd.in/eVy985rm 💡 L’Anthropocène : Gemenne appelle à repousser les limites du capitalisme actuel, en passant d’une économie linéaire à une économie régénérative, capable de fonctionner en harmonie avec la nature, plutôt que de la détruire. 🔄 Une transformation radicale, pas seulement des ajustements : les crises climatiques, la perte de biodiversité et les inégalités sociales appellent une révision en profondeur des systèmes économiques. Il ne suffit plus d'ajuster les modèles existants – il s'agit de saisir cette transformation comme une opportunité pour bâtir une économie plus inclusive, résiliente et régénérative. 🏢 Le rôle central des entreprises : il insiste sur la nécessité de dépasser une vision superficielle de la RSE. Les entreprises doivent repenser leur raison d’être, intégrant pleinement les enjeux environnementaux et sociaux dans leur stratégie. Cela implique de transformer les chaînes de valeur, les relations avec les parties prenantes et les modèles économiques eux-mêmes. Les dirigeants de demain devront non seulement viser la rentabilité, mais aussi être les gardiens de la durabilité et de l’équité. 🌍 Migrations et climat : il invite à voir les migrations non comme une menace, mais comme un levier de dynamisme et d'innovation économique. Avec la montée des impacts écologiques, des politiques migratoires intelligentes et inclusives permettront aux économies de prospérer tout en soutenant les populations déplacées. ⚖️ Justice climatique : Les populations les plus vulnérables sont souvent les moins responsables des émissions de CO2, mais elles en subissent les conséquences les plus graves. Il appelle à une transition juste, où les responsabilités sont partagées équitablement entre les pays industrialisés et ceux en développement, à travers un soutien financier et technique accru. ➡️ Lisez l’article : https://lnkd.in/ekzNxz7i #HECParis #Sustainability #Anthropocene #TransitionEcologique #JusticeClimatique #Leadership #EconomieDurable #Innovation avec Yann Algan, Julie Thinès, Fernando Javier Diaz Lopez, Ph.D., Daniel Halbheer, Marie-Pierre Lethiec - Seyfried

🌟 Congratulations to Hélène Löning for Her Leadership in Environmental and Sustainable Accounting – 2024 Vernimmen Award Winner! 🌟 We are thrilled to celebrate Hélène Löning, who has been honored with the 2024 Vernimmen Award in recognition of her excellence in teaching, particularly in environmental and sustainable finance. Known for her pivotal shift towards sustainability accounting, Hélène has made an outstanding impact on both her students and colleagues at HEC Paris. In her own words, Hélène shared: “Metrics are not perfect, but that’s no reason to discard them,” she said. “𝑊𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦, 𝑤𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛.” Today, 75% of her courses are focused on carbon accounting and green finance, preparing students to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in the business world. The Vernimmen Award, named in honor of the legendary finance professor Pierre Vernimmen, is a prestigious recognition that highlights both pedagogical excellence and meaningful connections with students. Hélène’s innovative approach exemplifies this, inspiring the next generation of leaders to think critically and act boldly in the face of global sustainability challenges. During the award ceremony, Éloïc Peyrache, Dean of HEC Paris, used a powerful metaphor to describe the essential role of professors: “𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑.

Her work continues to inspire us all and serves as a beacon for the future of sustainable business education.

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒&𝐎 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫   𝑈𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑑𝑜 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑠? 🤔   This was the question asked by Roberto Weber from the University of Zurich as he opened the S&O Institute Lunch Seminar this past Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at HEC Paris. Roberto presented his recent work on “𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬” exploring how ethical behavior in the workplace can lead to significant societal impacts and how negative effects can be mitigated. The research highlights the central role of intermediary actors in corporate misconduct. Under competitive pressure, these intermediaries tend to act in ways that may harm society but benefit the principals they work for.   Through an experimental market context, the research findings showed that giving agents the chance to self-govern and to introduce even an unenforced code of conduct, improved ethical behavior and reduced harmful outcomes. On the other hand, delegating decisions without any code of conduct led to the worst societal outcomes.   🔑 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: Self-governance plays a crucial role in limiting unethical behavior and promoting ethical practices in markets.   In the second part of the seminar, Aluna Wang from HEC Paris, presented her work on “𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐯𝐬. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”. 📱 The research investigates how commercial collaborations affect influencers’ content strategies on social media platforms and how such collaborations might degrade content quality, reduce diversity, and potentially influence societal values.   By studying 1,529 influencers on the Chinese platform Zhihu, the research found that after entering commercial partnerships, influencers often stick to existing content themes rather than exploring new ideas. This leads to less diversity in the content on the platform.   🔑𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: When influencers are financially compensated, they are more likely to stick to familiar content. This raises concerns about the long-term impact of such collaborations on content quality and diversity on social media platforms.   👏 A big thank you to both of our amazing speakers for an eye-opening session and to all the participants for your presence and valuable contributions.    cc Marieke Huysentruyt, Rodolphe Durand, Bénédicte Faivre-Tavignot, Iiris Sacchet, Romain Briat, Brian Hill, Chang Wa Huynh, Leandro Nardi, Andrew Montandon, Anastasia Buyalskaya, Stephen Michael Impink, Yasir Dewan, Can He, Octavio Augusto de Barros, Bariscan Y., Ben Li, Bertrand Quélin     #EthicsInBusiness #ContentCreation #SocialMedia #SelfGovernance #BusinessEthics #HECParis #InfluencerMarketing #DiversityInContent

🌍 How are future business leaders being educated on the challenges of business and human rights? This is a key question that the Financial Times has begun to address by highlighting several courses launched by business schools around the world. 📰 Read the FT piece: https://lnkd.in/daWcsWWj At HEC Paris, we've seen a significant rise in programs focusing on business, human rights, and transparency. Notably, several of these courses have been launched by Charles Autheman, an HEC Paris and Sciences Po Paris alumnus, and a member of the Global Business School Network for Business and Human Rights, where he leads the "supply chains and modern slavery" research cluster. 🤔 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬?  This question is at the heart ❤️ of the courses and challenges Charles Autheman has been teaching and organizing for the past three years for young scholars at HEC's pre-experience level. As Charles notes, his goal is to "𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑠" 📚 A tangible example of this is a recent assignment given to students in the HEC Paris Masters in Sustainability & Social Innovation program, where they were asked to critically examine a pressing business and human rights issue, proposing actionable recommendations or evaluating existing solutions. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gXkn3rfD In today's interconnected world, business decisions can unintentionally impact human rights, making it imperative that future leaders are equipped to recognize and address these risks. By integrating human rights education into business curricula, we are cultivating a generation of leaders who not only seek business success but also strive to create a positive societal impact! #HECParis #BusinessLeadership #HumanRightsMatters #SupplyChainEthics #SocialImpact #BusinessTransparency cc Marieke Huysentruyt, Bénédicte Faivre-Tavignot, Yann Algan, Cécile de Lisle (Lavrard-Meyer), François Gemenne, Julie Thinès, Sam Aflaki, Arnaud VAN WAEYENBERGE, David Restrepo Amariles, Matteo Winkler, Rana Kharouf, Louise Fromont, Raphaëlle Thirion, Bruce Roch.
