Two weeks to go until our next face-to-face Campaign for Real Innovation (C4RI) event, so the perfect time to place the spotlight on one of our guest speakers: Ben Diamant. Ben is especially interested in what matters to get a new idea off the ground, it’s easy to come up with ideas but it is hard to make these ideas happen, and culture plays a major part in driving innovation. - How to navigate the wider MNC cultures which demand innovation but do not always make it easy? - How to build strong innovation cultures in your smaller teams to make sure your team is doing it's bit, at least? - And how to use data and insight to proactively direct the flow of innovation in the wider business? The answer is getting the practical stuff right.....

Connecting, learning, reflecting: #Cannesplans. I feel so lucky to be at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity next week. It’s a glorious oppprtunity to soaking up inspiration and to chat and connect with members of The Marketing Society from around the world who will be there - and to make new friends and learn new perspectives. I”ll be putting some incredible CMOs ‘Under the Spotlight’ on the Rotonde stage on Wednesday and Thursday at 10.30 am - please do join us. —- The Marketing Society are hosting a number of special events. One which I know will be fascinating and fun is ‘The Ritualicious Lunch’ on Wednesday with the fabulous people at MSQ. This is designed to be a chilled out part of the day away from the madness of La Croisette in the beautiful Contagious Villa. There will be excellent food-for-thought in the form of some fascinating research into the role of rituals from MSQ together with WARC. We’ll explore the role of rituals in modern culture, from reducing cognitive overload in the face of a 24-hour rolling news cycle to providing calm, comfort and connection in an increasingly secularised world. I’ll be speaking together with ⭐️Kit Altin, CSO The Gate London , ⭐️ Eleanor Lloyd Malcolm , MD Freemavens, ⭐️ Rebecca Peel, Head of Advisory North America Contagious and ⭐️ Kate Howe Executive Director MSQ. (There will be a whitepaper on this launched on September). A great opportunity for some inspiration and some sparkling conversation with some terrific guests. Can’t wait! #CannesLions2024 #connectionsAndConversations #marketing

Innovation is our cup of TEA ☕️ 💡 🙂 Innovation and Tea might seem like an unlikely pairing, but both embody a spirit of transformation and tradition. Just as tea has evolved over centuries to adapt to different cultures and preferences, innovation requires us to adapt and evolve in our professional endeavors. Embracing both the tranquility of tea and the dynamism of innovation, we are poised to brew up some truly remarkable solutions and one of the distinctive programs in Johnson Controls is the annual Tech Challenge event. At Johnson Controls, Tech Challenge 2024 is an opportunity for participants to bring their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills as they develop and pitch their innovations to a panel of business leaders and subject matter experts. This year, under the theme of “Founders of the Future,” we are organizing the global “Tech Innovations” event. We had 1000+ ideas registered in this competition. After a rigorous multi-level evaluation process, now we are moving towards Grand Finale. It has been a wonderful experience in working and interacting with the brilliant innovative minds and our business leaders across Johnson Controls to drive this event to its conclusion. We are truly excited for the Tech Challenge 2024 Grand Finale.

It was a great honour for David Toledano, Mathieu FEREL, and myself to represent SINGULIER and INDEFI in the recently concluded IPEM Cannes Digital Innovation Summit. Reflecting on the event, here are my three key takeaways: 🔹 Navigating uncertainty: With the unstable macroeconomic landscape rocked by inflation, interest rates, and rapid tech disruption, the unique value GPs offer is crucial for decision-making among management teams and major LPs. 🔹 Strategic value creation: GPs are rethinking their approach to enhance deal selection and build stronger partnerships with management teams, thereby accelerating value creation and transformation. 🔹 Ubiquity of innovation: Innovation is sweeping across the industry, influencing fund-raising, deal origination, processing, due diligence, and the execution of value creation plans and portfolio monitoring. These takeaways underscore both the challenge and opportunity for the private equity industry in 2024, and are aligned to Singulier's ever-increasing emphasis on strategic and data-led value creation, as presented in our #LEADERS framework. If you'd like to learn more or you've missed our presentation, please do reach out and I am happy to discuss! Heartfelt thanks to all summit attendees and participants. A special mention to the many industry luminaries with whom I had the chance to spend some time and share insights: Nicolas ROBIN (Five Arrows LLC), Mathieu Teisseire (Eurazeo), Arnaud DUFER (Ardian), Cyril Chaumien (InnovaFonds), Jean-Baptiste Salvin (Bridgepoint), Maxime Séquier & Nicolas Darnaud (Ardian), Christophe Parier (Activa), Stefano Drago (PAI Partners), Rémi Said & Arnaud Minvielle (Partech), Thomas Carbonel (BEX Capital), Jean-Baptiste Marchand (Amala Partners), Jean Francois Louit (Gide Loyrette Nouel), IPEM's founder, Antoine Colson, among many others. 🌟 Looking forward to further collaboration and the continued growth of our industry at the next IPEM! #IPEMCannes #LEADERS #privateequity #strategy #Singulier #Indefi

Okay, I'll confess—I'm more than just "a bit" biased 😇. But being part of an industry often seen as "traditional" and insular, it's refreshing to hear from someone who brings an "outside" perspective. Our CEO Bertrand Gstalder's interview with MultiLingual Media is a journey through the present and the future of language and content services - a must-read for anyone curious about the current AI hype and its impact across industries.
