Digital Revolution & Leadership: don’t forget to say yes!

An article by Jean-Marc Tassetto, cofounder of Coorpacademy.

In order for a company to deeply transform itself, its leaders have to make complex decisions quickly in rapidly changing environments. A culture based on RONI (Risk of Non-Investment) needs to complement and in some cases replace the culture of ROI (Return on Investment). To achieve this, executives must become leaders and rediscover their ability to say yes.

An exclusive interview with Clara Gaymard and Gonzague de Blignières, co-founders of RAISE

But how can the durability and the benefits of these open collaboration initiatives be ensured? To celebrate the launch of our course “Innovate with Startups”, created with the support of RAISESHERPAS, RAISE Group’s endowment fund, we sat down with RAISE’s co-founders, Clara Gaymard and Gonzague de Blignières.
