Contact Alexis

J’ai toujours été fasciné par le moment où une idée cesse d’être une intention pour devenir une réalité.

Le moment où quelque chose d’abstrait commence à produire des usages, des comportements réels.

C’est ce que j’explore depuis plus de 15 ans : comment les idées prennent vie dans les organisations et les équipes.

Entrepreneuriat, innovation, médias, technologies : au fond, je travaille toujours sur le même sujet.

Comment mettre les idées en mouvement.
