This issue: Special Issue

This back-to-school issue is a bit special. Special because of its theme: it focuses on the subject of cohesion in the world of industry - a central subject for the world of industrial innovation. It is also special because our historical editor and strategic advisor, Jacques Knight, is leaving Presans for the continuation of his adventures which we will talk about again. On behalf of the entire Presans team, I wish him the best of luck for the rest of his adventures, which will be just as epic!

Have you noticed that there are sometimes big differences within the same industrial group regarding the management of Research and Innovation: some BUs sometimes have super efficient practices while others are completely at a loss... What is the origin of this heterogeneity?

This is the question that will be addressed during the collaborative workshop that Arthur D. Little is organizing on September 14th. If you want to contribute, don't hesitate to register!

Defence and energy are sectors forced into overconformity by a system that is delusional but sufficiently cohesive to impose its delusions on all. Other industrial sectors are not immune to the consequences of this reality.

We have worked on the Future of Food. On the Future of Plastics. On the Future of Beauty. On the Future of Roads. On the Future of Batteries. On the Future of HMI. And on many other futures!

The "future of" is shaped by various usage, market and technological trends.

To explore and conquer new business territories, you need to build sound research & innovation strategic roadmaps. And for that you need to see through the technological fog and usage uncertainty.

At Presans, we help our clients anticipate and build the future.
