We Are Royale’s Post

In my role as a Managing Director, I like to start the year by reflecting on the global economy outlook and define within this context my personal commitments regarding Air Liquide Benelux. First of all, more than ever, the 2024 political agenda (US and European elections, but also elections in Belgium) and geopolitics (Hamas-Israël war, Ukraine-Russia war) will surely have a strong influence on the economy with  some decisions that will be delayed after elections, a possible acceleration of some relocations because of tensions (at the cost of some inflation) and some potential peaks in energy prices depending on conflicts. That is the reason why the risk of recession remains. Finally, inflation dynamic will also have important implications in 2024 given the energy transition costs and geopolitical risks, but should be limited because of the low demand. All in all, even though global uncertainty will persist, I am confident that Benelux and Air Liquide with it, are ready to seize the opportunities that these events will offer. In that context, I want to state loud and clear some values that are at the core of my management: I care about the "who" is delivering the work: leaders like me are still leading people, therefore my priority is to continue inspiring, motivating, and enabling a greater sense of belonging in the next year by meeting people in all sites of Air Liquide Benelux. I care about developing people for the future: even if the impact of digital on productivity has been disappointing lately in the industry, AI is coming fast and the digitisation will not stop there, which means that we need tech-oriented people and also to focus the employees on added-value tasks where creativity, emotional intelligence, judgement and contextual understanding are making the difference. Secondly, people work differently, on-site, fully remote or part-time. Helping dispersed teams collaborate in the most effective and efficient ways possible is not a short-term project but a ongoing puzzle for me that I want to tackle; I care about the "why" we are working together: our goal at Air Liquide Benelux is to continue enabling the local industry to stay local by helping to reach the right level of competitiveness and CO2 footprint. This definition of the role of business is incomplete and needs to be defined all together with Air Liquide Benelux employees. At Air Liquide Benelux we are proud of the results already achieved and we are clear on the direction we are taking. We are also aware that no one can predict with certainty when and where the next crisis will arise, nor whether it will be triggered by technology, war, climate, or social unrest. Regardless, we want to own our path, act on what we can influence by recognising our role in this complex system, and write the future together with our employees as the solution is collective to face uncertainty. For all of that, I am looking for 2024 with Air Liquide Benelux employees. Best wishes to all.

2023 was, in some ways, the end of an era. 2024, in every way, is the beginning of a new era. Post-Covid phenomenons like quiet quitting, the remote work boom (known in Italy as “smartworking”) followed by the return to the office movement, or economic flares like insane inflation and to top it all off, sky high interest rates to conclude a crazy year. For RBS, all of what 2023 had to offer up as a challenge we faced head on and with intention, doing our best to shield not only our students but our staff from the uncertainty and volitility of the brave new world. We kept tuition rates low to offset inflation pains for our students and involved more staff in cross departmental improvement projects for example. 2024 will surely be no different, but you will see a new face to the Rome Business School. My New Year’s resolution and pledge to all students and staff is to remain 110% available, solution oriented and future focused. Change is a good thing and change is coming in 2024! #growthmindset #newbeginnings #solutionoriented #evolution

A very #happynewyear to everyone! As my feed is now full of #reflection posts and welcoming the #newyear2024, it is only right for me to put my thoughts down as well. We have had a #challenging but extremely rewarding 2023 at Catalect. We continued to deliver on long term #projects for our clients and we welcomed a #Fortune500 company as our client, which is a momentous #achievement for us. We continue to engage with our clients and partner with them to provide long-term value. We welcomed new #colleagues and built upon the work-hard play-hard culture that we espouse at Catalect through multiple team events throughout the year while delivering for our clients. As we welcome #2024, Catalect is now fully focused on providing #changemanagement and #AI consulting as part of our core value proposition to our clients and partners. I’m sure by now everyone has used #ChatGPT or one of the other AI #chatbots in the past year. With ‘AI’ entering the general populous’ vernacular, we are now officially entering the age of AI. While there is a lot of buzz about AI (rightly so) and its use for multiple industries and peoples daily lives, it is not entirely part of our lives just yet, as enterprise level AI and its #adoption is not as ‘simple’ (relatively speaking) as launching a chatbot. Currently, there are multiple challenges facing #enterpriseAI solutions – primarily centred around, #consistency, #reliability and #accuracy of responses that the AI provides. Catalect is focused on analysing and researching these challenges and driving #development, #implementation and #adoption of #enterpriseAI. In 2024 we will build on our AI and change and management capabilities and partner with our clients and partners to educate, train, develop and deploy #enterprise-ready #AIsolutions. AI isn’t the future – it’s NOW. I’d love to talk to our #clients and #partners more about how we can help deploy and adopt enterprise-ready AI and truly augment the #humanAIpartnership that will forge the coming era of work.  Once again a very happy new year and we at Catalect are extremely excited about 2024 and bringing new #technologies to life.

As we look ahead into 2024, it's incredible to reflect on the collective spirit that's been the driving force behind our strategic goals. When we come together as #onerullion, our understanding deepens, our vision aligns, and our journey toward shared success strengthens. The vision boards we created are more than just collages; they're a mosaic of our collective aspirations. They embody our culture and brand - one that's inclusive, inspiring, and resonates with not just our clients but each one of us. Having the opportunity to meet in person is invaluable. For many of us, digital communication has been the thread keeping us connected. Yet, there's an irreplaceable magic that springs from face-to-face interactions. Bonding as one team, across different departments and ranks, we've woven a stronger fabric of camaraderie and trust. Our awards ceremony was a highlight, indeed. Celebrating achievements across the business is not just about recognition; it's about acknowledging the hard work and dedication that each person brings to the table. The prizes and awards shared are tokens of appreciation that carry profound meaning - they say, "We see you, we value you, and together, we succeed." As we pivot towards our 2024 goals, let us carry the energy from our Unite to Ignite event into every challenge and triumph that awaits. Let's be champions for our culture, advocates for our brand, and custodians of the spirit that makes us stand out from the crowd. Here's to our continued success, and here's to us - one team, one vision, one incredible journey ahead. 🌟🤝✨ #Ignite to Unite #unlockthepotential #standoutfromthecrowd

Peering into the rearview mirror of 2023, we see a year marked by triumphs, lessons, and unparalleled growth. As we deck the halls and light the tree, let's pause to reflect on how each connection, each conversation, each collaboration has shaped this successful year. Your support, your insights, your tenacity - each of you have been the secret Santa to my journey. The success of 2023 wasn't a solo performance - it was a symphony of combined efforts, harmonized by a shared vision. As we raise a toast to the holiday season, let's not just celebrate the year gone by. Let's honor the potential of the promising 2024 that awaits, brimming with opportunities for us to conquer together. Let's promise to keep fueling each other's aspirations, to keep turning dreams into reality, and to keep crushing every challenge that comes our way. Here's to a festive season filled with warmth, joy, and gratitude. And here's to a 2024 where we ascend to unprecedented heights, together. Comment below with your biggest win of 2023 and your daring goal for 2024. Let's welcome the new year with open hearts and ready minds!
