Speaker of the day: Philippe Cahen — Economy and Finance

Philippe Cahen first worked for several years in the development of concepts, products, and brands, then he devised a new method of foresight. This original, fast, flexible, and economical approach is based on weak signals followed by dynamic scenarios.
Since 1995, he has regularly worked with companies and organizations to help them imagine their futures, through various conferences.

Philippe is here to open minds, break codes, and refresh your horizon to create novelty and avoid copying. Through weak signals, Philippe proves to his audience that it is possible to do, for example, how observing one's environment or reading the press contains surprising ideas for the future. Through the dynamic scenarios method, he allows everyone to discover hypotheses for the future previously considered impossible and makes it obvious that the main risk is not taking any risk.

Philippe is appreciated for the realism of his interventions and the practical answers they offer. He leaves strategic choices to specialists.
