“Foresight means equipping yourself with the means to achieve a form of clear-eyed optimism. Everything has already been said about the world to come in terms of resources; now we need to implement strategies. Foresight must leave its mark on the strategic calendar of leaders, otherwise it is just pie in the sky.\u201c Thomas Gauthier, professor and holder of the Carbon4 Finance \u201dStrategy in the Anthropocene” chair at emlyon business school.<\/p>\n

Around thirty leaders gathered at the Palais de la Bourse, on the premises of the Institut Louis Bachelier and Enerdata, to discuss foresight.<\/p>\n

In his introduction to the morning’s proceedings, Philippe DA COSTA, President of the French Red Cross, explained that the Red Cross had set up a foresight steering committee and that it was urgent to be better prepared in a context of multiple crises.<\/p>\n

The first round table, \u201cProspects and Physical Limits,\u201d brought together Pascal Charriau, President of Enerdata, Michael Haddad, Director of Innovation & Partnerships at Alstom, and Thomas Gauthier.<\/p>\n

“We participated in the development of ADEME scenarios to imagine the world in 2030 from a resource perspective. These scenarios are very useful for leaders. Pascal Charriau<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1972 Meadows Report had already anticipated a world facing resource shortages. It was revisited in 2022 and the trajectory has been confirmed. We are heading towards the collapse of the world as we know it around 2040.\u201d Michael Haddad<\/p>\n

The second round table gave the floor to two leaders who participated in our foresight & AI workshops, led by Pierre-Antoine Marti of Futuribles International in partnership with the CJD:<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not expect the in-depth reflections generated by these workshops,\u201d Michel Paillet, from the Observatoire de l’Evolution des M\u00e9tiers de l’Assurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis workshop crystallized the weak signals I was perceiving and also allowed us to see what we had carefully forgotten to look at.\u201d Damien Thouvenin, co-founder of Goood!.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Dr. Jean-Michel Valantin, PhD, author of the book \u201cHyperwar, How AI is Revolutionizing Warfare,\u201d reminded us that \u201cThe future is not a reflection of the present\u201d and invited us to read or reread \u201cThe Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable\u201d by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.<\/p>\n
