Descartes & Mauss

🌟 Meet Julien Sachot, our Head of Sales at Descartes & Mauss! 🌟 After 10 years at Salesforce, Julien shares why he chose D&M: "Why join D&M after 10 years in a big company? There are three keywords: startup – I wanted to have a strong impact in a small company. Technology – I'm proud of our AI strategy platform that's very impactful and useful for our customers. And people – the team at D&M is diverse, brilliant, and incredibly motivating." With 17 years of experience across software, telecom, and consulting, Julien is ready to help our customers unlock the power of AI for smarter decisions. 🦾 👉 Interested in joining the D&M Team?

🎉 Thank You to Everyone Who Joined Our Webinar! 🎉   We extend a big thank you to all the participants who attended our recent webinar with Kraft Heinz and Insights Lighthouse! It was an insightful session focused on transforming insights into action and building strategic foresight capabilities.   A special shoutout to our outstanding speakers: 🌟 Tom Trenta, Global Head of Cultural Culinary Foresight at Kraft Heinz, who shared how Kraft Heinz reshaped its approach to foresight and empowered business leaders by: - Shifting to an Activation Mindset: Using insights to guide both long-term strategic planning and short-term execution. - Building a Data-Driven Foundation: Making insights more actionable and relevant throughout the organization. - Collaborating for Impact: Partnering with external experts like Descartes & Mauss to ensure insights are not only data-rich but also impactful. - Managing Pushback through Engagement: Addressing timing challenges while accelerating rollout due to high demand for insights. - Balancing Data with Creativity: Anticipating changes and validating ideas, rather than solely relying on established facts. - Leveraging Storytelling: Using narrative as a strategic tool to recognize patterns and build confidence in future projections. 🌟 Dr. Liubov Ruchinskaya, Senior Business Growth Executive at Insights Lighthouse, highlighted three major challenges: Challenge #1: Headspace – Freeing up time for teams to focus more on governance, understanding business needs, and stakeholder management, rather than content creation. Challenge #2: Traditional Methods – Moving beyond over-reliance on backward-looking data and intuition towards a more data-driven, forward-focused approach. Challenge #3: Automation – Achieving efficient automation where recommendations, actions, and activations are seamlessly integrated. 🌟 Yannis Kavounis, Chief Customer Officer & Co-founder at Descartes & Mauss, demonstrated how our platform enables teams to turn insights into actionable outcomes.   For those who couldn't attend, don't worry!

𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝑶𝑴𝑬𝑿: 𝑼𝒏𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒆𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒚-𝑰𝒏 Every leader dreams of being heard, supported, and backed by the COMEX. It’s the holy grail—ensuring not just career growth but also the freedom to execute ambitious projects without budget constraints or stakeholder pushback. But making it happen is another story.
The challenge? Navigating the complex mix of short-term targets, long-term vision, personal agendas, and fierce competition for resources, all while staying aligned with a fast-paced business environment. Here’s how to break through the noise and get the COMEX on your side: 🔑 𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝑰𝒕: Tie Your Initiative to Strategic Priorities
Make your project indispensable by connecting it directly to the company’s top goals. Executives are laser-focused on what drives the business forward, so speak their language and show how your initiative supports their agenda. 📊 𝑴𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑰𝒕: Create KPIs That Count
For innovation-focused or exploratory projects, establish solid KPIs to track success. Decision-makers are more likely to buy in when they see concrete metrics that quantify the value and outcomes you’re promising. 🔄 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝑰𝒕 𝑫𝒐𝒘𝒏: Map Out a Step-by-Step Roadmap
Simplify your vision by breaking it into stages with clear milestones. Executives appreciate actionable roadmaps—they want to see exactly how your project will unfold, what to expect, and when. 🗣️ 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒓 𝑰𝒕: Build a Network of Advocates
Politics matter in executive decisions. Secure buy-in from multiple sponsors early on to avoid surprises and resistance down the line. A strong coalition of supporters ensures your initiative has backing across the board. 🎥 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒕: Make Your Project Impossible to Ignore
Don’t underestimate the power of internal marketing. Use concise video clips, testimonials, and internal events to build momentum and visibility for your project. The more buzz you create, the harder it is for your initiative to be sidelined. In today’s competitive business environment, getting the COMEX to champion your project means mastering the art of strategic storytelling. Use these principles to elevate your credibility, align with key priorities, and drive the change you envision.   💡 Interested in this topic? Make sure to subscribe to our upcoming webinar:

🔍 Event Recap: Descartes & Mauss at XYZ Paris 2024 Last week, our team—Maurice NDiaye (CEO), Tommaso Carelli (Strategist), and Julien Sachot (Head of Sales)—had the pleasure of being part of XYZ Paris at Station F. Representing Descartes & Mauss at Booth C2, we engaged with the AI and tech community on this year’s theme: “Generative AI Transformation: Productivity & Growth.” 💡 Key Takeaways: 🔹 Data Quality is King: Experts from Oracle and SIA Partners emphasized that “data quality and strong governance are fundamental for scalable AI.” This resonated strongly with our approach to building effective AI strategies. 🔹The Future of Work is Shifting: A panel featuring Adecco Group and IBM highlighted how generative AI will redefine job roles, making upskilling and reskilling crucial for workforce adaptability. 🔹Environmental Impact: AI’s carbon footprint took center stage, with speakers from Scaleway and Schneider Electric predicting that by 2030, “AI could contribute as much to emissions as the entire nation of Germany”—underscoring the need for responsible AI implementation. Thank you to everyone who visited us and shared their perspectives!
