GAFANOMICS Season 2: 4 superpowers to outperform in the Network EconomyFabernovel
FABERNOVEL identifies 4 superpowers to outperform in the Network Economy.
FABERNOVEL released a new study analyzing the strategic practices of the GAFA companies. The study, which presents actionable lessons for legacy industries looking to reshape their strategy for the New Economy, finds that the fastest-growing superpowers in the Network Economy position themselves as Magnet, Intimate, Real Time, or Infinite Enterprises.
FABERNOVEL’s 2014 report, GAFAnomics: New Economy, New Rules detailed how Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon – GAFA – are driven by a common vision of a borderless market and a customer culture which redefined their notions of value creation, core business, and talent management. FABERNOVEL’s 2015 study builds upon these findings to analyze how other companies are utilizing the infrastructure built by these 4 web giants to spur their own rapid growth.

FABERNOVEL vous invite à découvrir dans sa nouvelle étude 4 stratégies inspirées des GAFA pour transformer votre entreprise en champion de l'économie connectée. Venez comprendre comment devenir une entreprise "Magnétique", "Instantanée", "Intime" ou "Infinie" : 4 «super-pouvoirs» économiques inspirés du modèle des GAFA.
En 2014, dans la première étude GAFAnomics®, nous nous étions attachés à analyser les facteurs clés de succès des 4 géants du web. Cette année, notre étude du modèle des GAFA nous a permis d'identifier 4 modèles de performance dans la nouvelle économie, qui permettront à nos clients de repartir avec des stratégies rapides à mettre en oeuvre pour retrouver cette compétitivité dans la nouvelle économie.
Les précédentes études annuelles de FABERNOVEL ont rencontré 10 millions de lecteurs, nous avons hâte de partager cette nouvelle publication avec vous.
22 years: the average age of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. 22 years of growth frenzy, combined with the upheaval brought about by the Internet to our businesses, our lives and our civilization.
With over 300 billion euros in cumulative revenue, a productivity rate three times the average, and a customer base covering nearly 50% of the connected population, GAFA have become, in less than twenty years, the four superpowers of the new economy. "Search engine","e-commerce", "smartphone","social network" are the common nouns they have added to the of the 21st century dictionary.
But beyond this disruption in our daily habits, GAFA have fundamentally changed the established rules of business strategy: they ignore classic concepts of market, competition, positioning or plain goods. Instead, they have achieved a Copernican revolution that truly places the customer at the center of their strategy.
With our study you will:
- identify the key success factors of these fantastic four,
- understand how to conduct your business strategy in the era of GAFA,
- develop a dashboard to measure and to start thinking about your business the GAFA way, by simply starting from your customers.
“GAFAnomics” will help you see your industry through GAFA's eyes: understand their vision of the world and align this analysis with your strategic actions - at a digital pace.
The "GAFA Framework"
To achieve this, we completed our analysis with a framework, a simplified reading grid of their business models and value creation levers. We are convinced that the best key to your digital transformation is understanding and applying this “GAFA framework".
This framework can be replicated in any industry: in the customer value creation field, every business can compare itself to GAFA. Our framework shows the necessity to organize and grow around the unwavering ambition to make a positive change to the customer’s daily life.
The transformation of business units: all managers and all coders?
From an expert's language to an accessible language for everyone, code is becoming a "super power", able to unlock creativity, disrupt industries and transform our society.
A tool for innovation, prototyping and acceleration par excellence, code has become the secret weapon of the start-up model. As a new language, will code be the grammar 2.0 that all school children should know in order to develop their critical thinking skills in the digital age? As an economic paradigm, code will necessarily shape future firms by transforming them into real organizations of the 21st century : programmable organizations.

The pace of change in advertising and consumer behavior continues to be frantic and to accelerate, so our annual trip to CES in Las Vegas continues to remind us how, in relative terms, hardware changes more slowly than both software and our expectations. In fact, CES in 2016 didn’t show a revolution in electronics and consumer products, but more of an evolution. The products were similar yet faster, thinner, cheaper and above all else, more connected.
This moment feels like the early stages of a new era, a time when all products are becoming cloud connected, touch screens are everywhere, and all media is digital. Yet it’s not quite the Internet of things — it’s the interim of things. We don’t yet have a complete smart home, we have sophisticated homes that sometimes don’t quite work. We have 3D printers without totally compelling use cases, and robotic body parts that don’t quite make a full humanoid.
The companies succeeding are those that are innovating and collaborating to solve real consumer needs, while staying true to a clear brand purpose. From artificial intelligence and cognitive computing, to drone technologies, virtual reality and biometric sensing, to 8k video and 360 surround sound, there are tremendous opportunities on the horizon.
Please read on to view the ten themes that make up this moment in time.
With special thanks to Rori DuBoff, Jez Jowett, Tom Goodwin and the team at Havas Worldwide.
For one week each year Sin City plays host to the next-generation of innovations and technologies before they’re introduced to the marketplace. This year, more than 200,000 attendees came to CES to walk through 2.5 million square feet of trade show space to see the latest drones, connected cars, TVs and smartphones, and even a VR device that gives you the sensation of flying through the sky like a superhero.
Y&R sent some of our brightest minds to take in the sights and sounds of CES 2016. Here’s what they had to say:
Mobile is NOT a Channel - Rob Griffin at IMMAP Summit, 2012Havas Media
Rob Griffin, EVP Product Development at Havas Digital, spoke recently at the IMMAP Summit & emphasised 3 clear takeaways-
1. Mobile is Now, and you must know that. Embrace a Mobile First approach to all marketing and communications efforts.
2. Accept the multiplicity of the device. Mobile devices are consumers' constant companions and central to their daily lives.
3. Activate and Engage! Take full advantage of mobile's greater capabilities to engage in real time.
Instead of thinking about mobile as an advertising channel, it is more important to view it as an access point for consumers- hence the urgent need for everything to be mobile enabled from the start. Mobile Internet user growth is projected to hit 3.5billion in 2015- how are you positioning your brand to take advantage of this revolution?

This was a presentation on Augmented Reality I gave at IHAF (In House Agency Forum) in Boston on October 7, 2010. The presentation covers basics of Augmented Reality, Best Practices, Examples That Work and Demos.
A recap and insights from CES 2014 from the Cake Group and Havas Media: includes insights around wearable technology; 4K displays, robotics; the connected home the intersection of fashion & tech; connected cars; immersive entertainment and tech marketers.
Today, the word "innovation" is often overused to describe a number of lackluster things and has really become meaningless in a lot of senses. However, we were really floored when we heard that Cannes was hosting its first ever "Innovation Conference" during the 2015 Cannes Lions festival in France. We sent the Labstore team to check out the conference first-hand, and brought back 5 key takeaways we believe represent innovation, framed through the lens of retail. From robots in the retail space, to the rise of RFID technology, we saw some, what we'd call, innovative showcases.
For 20 years, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon (GAFA) have made the world tremble. These jacks-of-all-trades of innovation keep popping up where they are the least expected in record time. Their ability to move faster and stronger than anyone could think enabled them to gain market shares in many areas. They expanded to the point that they are now the new economy’s infrastructures. Whether it’s for people’s daily or working life, GAFA have become standard.

Adblock, enquête sur un détracteur de performance digitaleFabernovel
L’omniprésence publicitaire a conduit à un sentiment d’exaspération des internautes, qui ont de plus en plus recours à l’installation d’un bloqueur de publicités (Adblock). Et pour cause : en seulement quatre ans, le phénomène a quadruplé. La prolifération des Adblocks représente désormais une menace majeure pour les annonceurs qui pourraient se retrouver privés d’une part importante de leurs clients dans un avenir proche. Pourtant, on ne sait à ce jour rien ou presque du profil des utilisateurs d’Adblocks, ni des spécificités de leur comportement online.
Qui sont les utilisateurs d'Adblocks ? Présentent-ils un comportement en ligne spécifique ? Et quels sont les nouveaux paradigmes publicitaires pour faire reculer le phénomène de l’Adblocking ? : FABERNOVEL DATA&MEDIA publie la première étude d’envergure portant sur ce trou noir publicitaire.
Cette étude intitulée « Adblock : enquête sur un détraqueur de performance digitale » a porté sur l'analyse d’un échantillon représentatif de près de dix millions de sessions desktop. Au-delà du volume de sessions concernées, cette étude est la première à reposer sur l’observation des comportements véritables plutôt que sur les comportements déclarés par les utilisateurs, grâce à l’injection d’un script furtif n’interférant jamais sur la navigation des internautes.
Découvrez sans attendre les enseignements et les bonnes pratiques face au phénomène de l'Adblocking.
Bitcoin Market Summary - Spark Capital - Produced by Oxana KunetsAndrew Parker
This is an analysis by Oxana Kunets, a Columbia GSB MBA that Spark Capital hired on HourlyNerd to study the Bitcoin market. It's a summary of: 1) what is bitcoin, 2) the companies in the space, and 3) concluding investment thesis recommendations.
From an outsider perspective, the golden age of space might look behind us with the Apollo era in the Sixties. Yet, when we listen to some new economy entrepreneurs like R. Branson (Virgin group founder), J. Bezos (Amazon founder) or E. Musk (Paypal, TeslaMotors, Solarcity founder), space is accessible, ready to harvest and the space rush starts today!
Even if the Silicon Valley ecosystem aims for the stars, technical hurdles might prevent all projects to succeed. Therefor, being able to put a satellite in orbit and land the launcher or to reach multiple times the space frontier with a same launcher really are impressive. These newsworthy successes also attract an increasing number of investors: $2.9B between 2000 and 2015 of which $1.8B in 2015 only.
A disruption is on its way powered by deep mutations in the sector making old dreams now plausible like constellation and reusable launchers. In one hand, national space agencies now focus more on their advising roles. In the other hands, it gets easier to access existing resources and infrastructures.
Incumbents reassure their averse-to-risk customers by producing a low number of expensive high-end custom designs with a big emphasis on quality to ensure high lifespans.
Newcomers promise resilience thanks to distributed infrastructures of a higher number of low cost satellites (using off the shelf components). To do so, these pioneers use design to test approaches directly inspired from start-ups. They ‘hack’ technologies from other sectors with a ‘maker’ spirit and collect information from the ground with each generation of their products in a pure MVP mindset. First users of their own products, they make sure that the infrastructure they build is user centric and not technology centric. Doing so, they enable the next generation of space entrepreneurs to build new space applications (a few of which that might look like science fiction).
E. Musk’s project to build a martian colony will be build on these layers. His firm, SpaceX, looks like it is a step ahead the competition with its full logbook, its tremendous technological achievements and its soon-to-be vertical integration in space with a constellation. Nevertheless, there are a few technical hurdles for them to pass like designing a powerful enough rocket or proving its ability to get to Mars and come back.
Our conviction is that, alone, they probably won’t be able to gather the resources to build from scratch a sustainable colony with safe housing, adapted food production and low consuming ressources processes. When we see all the current benefits of the previous space programs, we are convinced that actors who will address these issues will be a step ahead to reap the fruits of the space conquest on their historical markets.
GAFAnomics: Using APIs to gain unfair competitive advantage in the network ec...Fabernovel
At FABERNOVEL, we’re convinced APIs are a powerful lever for traditional companies willing to enter and thrive in a world dominated by the GAFA (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple), Unicorns (Uber, Airbnb…), Chinese giants (Alibaba, Tencent…) and all similar actors that have deeply changed the way goods and services are produced, shared and distributed.
As outlined in our latest study, these new players share one common feature: they’re all structured as networks, connecting individuals, businesses, information and goods to one another.
The constant concern of the child of God who dearly loves the Lord is to know and to do the will of God. He recognizes that the Bible is the source book of truth. It is the only authority that discloses the will of God for his life, but the Bible is often difficult to understand.
One might ask, “How can I, as a student of the Word, reach into the treasures of truth that comprise the Bible? Many verses seem irrelevant; many seem impossible to understand. Learned theologians frequently have great differences of opinion concerning what the Bible teaches: How can I determine which teacher, preacher, or theologian is leading me correctly? Must I be limited to blindly following a teacher,
knowing that he is a fallible human being and therefore subject to error?”
ADEMYS ANTES LAS ESCUELAS DE INNOVACIÓN PEDAGÓGICA, EL MAESTRO MATE Y LA EVAL...Laura Marrone
¿Innovación pedagógica o Caballo de Troya de nuevas privatizaciiones?
Ademys es parte de la docencia que ama su trabajo y busca mejorarlo. No somos “conservadores” ni nos oponemos a los cambios “per se”. Sin embargo, no somos improvisados ni aventureros. Tampoco inocentes. La selección de “modelos” efectuada por el Ministerio del PRO está en consonancia con sus valoraciones políticas. En lugar de abrir un debate en las escuelas, realizar un diagnóstico de los problemas, recuperar experiencias existentes en Ciudad y en el país, incluso en países vecinos, improvisa cambios que no se sabe bien en qué consisten y reproduce las propias trayectorias educativas de sus funcionarios educados en Harvard y Columbia: recurrir a los modelos que promueven los organismos internacionales de las ya vapuleadas Reformas Educativas.
Having participated in both SXSW and Cannes Lions Innovation festival this year, we've uncovered lots of insights on the current communications climate and have put together 9 trends which should serve as guidance for the areas to focus on in 2016.

The Next Wave of AR: Mobile Social Interaction Right Here, Right Now!Tish Shute
I began by asking the question: Can we create an open framework for distributed augmented reality using "off the shelf" standards, e.g., the Google Wave Federation Protocol?
But the implications of this proposal go well beyond augmented reality and towards an open framework for in context mobile social communication.

Internet of Things [infusion 5th september 2014]AlquimiaWRG
Let you be infusioned about Internet of Things.
According to Federico, IoT is matter of housewares, entertainment, advertising and obviously business.
Discover what he means when he writes that normal things, when connected, become contextual, funny, meaningful, friendly!
Trends are the natural changes in behaviours or proceedings. We like to be aware of those indicators for inspiration and guidance. At the beginning of every year we look at UX, UI trends and emerging technologies to get that guidance from.
Data is the fuel of the connected world, and aspects like value, trust, transparency and ultimately ownership have been a continuous source for debate. As our technical capabilities and our comfort with and within the connected world evolves, so does the conversation about our habits and practices around customer data. As a product strategy and design company that has been leading the industry for more than four decades, I believe that frog is in a good position to reflect forward.
This edition is packed with contributions from people across Endava and covers many industries. It contains really cool, innovative projects that span robotics, business intelligence, security and payments.
These projects are the cutting edge of the industry and we often use these as inspiration for clients who are embarking on a Digital Transformation programme.
Key Highlights:
#1 Tracing the history of wearables
#2 Better inflight Internet services through contractual innovation
#3 How different organisations harness the power of AI
#4 Friction-free payments solutions with Google Pay Hands Free
#5 Back to Future with Nike's HyperAdapt 1.0 trainers
GAFAnomics Tesla Volume 2 - Is Tesla the disruptor we need?Fabernovel
Valued at 210 billion dollars, that is to say the valuations of Ford, GM, Draimler, PSA and Uber combined, Tesla, the leading company in electric car sales, recently became the world's leading manufacturer ahead of Toyota. It is because the company has succeeded in breaking the codes of a century-old industry, symbol of the industrial model of the 20th century, that Tesla deserves its place at the top of the list of the most disruptive companies. Fabernovel presents its new study "Is Tesla the disruptor we need? which reveals the secrets of its success but also provides thought on the future of mobility, which the company has not disrupted to date.

Fabernovel analyse les tendances publicitaires du super bowl de 2020Fabernovel
Aux États-Unis le Super Bowl est le plus grand événement sportif de l’année, suivi par près d'un américain sur trois. La compétition n'y est pas seulement sportive, elle est également publicitaire. À 5,6 millions de dollars les 30 secondes d'antenne, les marques ne regardent pas à la dépense et font de leur campagne de véritables spectacles. Si bien que pour 23% des américains, les publicités sont devenues la partie la plus importante du Super Bowl, contre 35% pour le jeu et 9% pour le show de mi-temps.

Amazon: friend or foe?
This presentation looks at the ways to work with Amazon, its opportunities and threats for brands and the winning distribution strategies for you.
Fabernovel is pleased to release this new edition of “Gafanomics Quarterly”, our publication which offers you every quarter a transversal review of the earnings releases and strategic announcements of the disruptive Tech giants.
This last quarter was somewhat special in our view, ushering in new times at several levels : a new fiscal year, a new decade and the accelerating change towards new value patterns.
After a challenging Q3, the Tech segment outperformed all other sectors on the Street with an impressive cumulated market cap gain of more than $1,300bn for our sample of 20 firms (i.e. the equivalent of Microsoft market value or the annual GDP of Spain). This was underpinned by the robust quarterly delivery of most of the Tech leaders with a value pattern still favouring user and top-line growth pattern compared to margin expansion. Our sample of Tech disruptors posted a median revenue growth of 23% and 17% EBIT growth in Q4 19, with very similar figures for FY19.
Is this outperformance set to last?
Beyond their economic power, the Tech leaders face several challenges. Facing rising maturity and competition, they are increasingly criticized on their dark side and their Achilles heel: Corporate and Social Responsibility. Several of them recorded in the last months the departures of their founders (Travis Kalanick at Uber, Jack Ma from Alibaba, Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Google, Adam Neumann at WeWork). Softbank has seen the arrival of activist investors in their capital.
The Green tide was the most striking new theme emerging from Q4 releases. Many tech players (Microsoft, Amazon, …) have started to communicate on the environmental impact. Greenwashing or strategic reality? Probably both. But we hope that the latter will prevail! Given their deep pockets, innovation culture and infrastructure power, Tech giants are probably among the few Corporates that can save the planet. The Coronavirus crisis has shown that software can help adapt in critical situation with new practices (more remote work) that can reduce carbon emissions.
In a new world where transparency and responsibility will increasingly drive valuation, we are convinced that this Green horizon can be a structuring value path for GAFAM & Co but also an area where they can join forces with other Corporates.
Kereitsu of modern times, Softbank has pioneered with its Vision Fund an Innovation at scale strategy powered by an agressive venture investments. It has thus opened an alternative way to GAFAM’s model that relied primarily on an organic technology model amplified by some bolt-on M&A.
SoftBank’s transformation case is in our view particularly interesting at a time when the European startups and innovation ecosystems need to catch-up with their American and Asian and many Corporates are entering in « coopetition » with Investment funds, launching or reinventing their ventures set-up in order to address their innovation at scale challenge.
For sure, like all disruptors Softbank has been somewhat extreme in its approach (especially in terms of risk aversion, fundraising, inflationary valuation) and not always exemplary in its practices (CSR, governance, financial disclosure...). Nevertheless we are witnessing some interesting read-across for European players, especially as vision, risk taking and entrepreneurial approaches are in our view critical success factors in the new economy.
Thus one of our wishes for 2020 is that some European Softbank may emerge and create a new way for innovation at scale.
Retail Apocalypse. Voilà comment Business Insider qualifiait il y a quelques semaines la situation actuelle (et future ?) du retail. Et à raison : aux US plus de 8600 magasins physiques doivent fermer en 2019. La France n’est pas épargnée - en témoignent les fermetures de huit enseignes Gap et plus de 30 Conforama cet été, pour n'en citer que quelques unes.
Dans le même temps, les Digitally Native Vertical Brands - ces ovnis du e-commerce devenus leaders aussi inspirants qu’anxiogènes - envahissent les rues. Littéralement : sur les 84 DNVB à fort potentiel identifiées en 2016 par Andy Dunn dans son article phare, 44 comptent désormais au moins un magasin physique. Ici aussi : difficile de se balader dans Paris aujourd’hui sans passer devant une boutique Sezane, Le Slip Français ou Jimmy Fairly.
Pour passer à l'échelle, il semblerait que les DNVB doivent faire tomber le “D”. “Halo effect” disent les Américains pour décrire ce phénomène qui consiste à ouvrir une boutique physique pour considérablement augmenter les ventes online. Mais alors...
Entre apocalypse et terre promise, à quoi ressemble vraiment le retail de demain ?
Quel modèle, quels KPIs et quelles conditions pour émerger ?

Fabernovel is pleased to share this playbook reviewing various offerings of
WeChat advertising and the possibilities for brands to reach and engage the tech
savvy consumers.
Since the inception of WeChat, Tencent has been very cautious about introducing
promotional messages on its platform. The Super APP is envisioned more as a
productive toolkit for the users' daily life than a source of media revenue stream itself.
On contrary to 1 ad for every 10 posts on Facebook, the Shenzhen tech giant makes
sure its users exposed to maximum 2 ads per day.
That being said, WeChat advertising offerings have become so comprehensive and
impactful to capture the attention of Chinese consumers from both home and
abroad. To build successful WeChat strategies, it is now crucial for business to master
these various ad formats, ad touch points, ad features, bidding tactics and audience
targeting possibilities.

[Extract] Study The We Company: is real estate a disruptable industry?Fabernovel
A lot has been said about WeWork, whether it is about its controversial CEO, its delusional valuation, its abyssal losses, its obscure governance or its esoteric motto. But, as analysts passionated by new models and disruption players, we could not stay away from the debate surrunding the one startup that has shaken the real estate market.
Our study does not predict whether Wework will become public, or whether it will actually survive. But, it aims at describing how WeWork has made coworking a thing, which lessons should be drawn from its model (whether considered tech or not tech) , and which possible future can be imagined for the industry.

Study Ardian & Fabernovel - The Augmented Infrastructure: Digital for climate?Fabernovel
Foreword:
2020 is tomorrow. Once a synonym for “future”,
this key date is a symbol for new dawn where
the issue of long term value can not be but linked
to digital sobriety and technological responsibility.
At Fabernovel, that is why when working on transformation projects, services design or engineering, we follow a triple approach: entrepreneurial, digital but first and foremost responsible.
I am convinced that this approach can be applied
to infrastructures. Regarding carbon impact issue, beyond mitigation measures and energy recycling,
we need to act upstream by rethinking the way we design services and technology.
Innovation more than ever, has to be thought in a global ecosystem perspective to prevent drifts and limit impact.
Let’s build this inclusive future together.

Services urbains : faut il vraiment penser utilisateur ?Fabernovel
Ils investissent l'espace, orchestrent les flux, bouleversent les usages et uniformisent nos villes : les géants du numérique saisissent l'espace urbain et nous forcent à requestionner notre façon de concevoir les services urbains.
A quoi doit ressembler une ville à l'ère du numérique ?
Peut-on vraiment "penser utilisateur" dans un contexte urbain ?
Comment réconcilier besoins individuels et communautaires ?
Nous sommes convaincus que c'est par le design que nous répondrons à ces nouveaux enjeux.
Pour échanger avec nous sur ces questions essentielles, nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir Agnes Kwek, ambassadrice Design pour la ville de Singapour et Dominique Sciamma, Directeur et Doyen de Strate Ecole de Design et Président de l'APCI.

[Fabernovel study] New economy, new KPI: the customer eraFabernovel
By creating some disruption in value chains and favouring the emergence of new models, the digital revolution has induced deep changes in the way value is created and shared. It is more and more decorrelated from short term financial performance. That should push organizations and investors to review their monitoring and valuation of innovative projects, as well as pay attention to the value of some intangible assets, such as customer capital, talent capital, ecosystem, software or societal and environmental impact.
Customer centricity was at the heart of the digital revolution, which explains why among these assets, customer capital is the easiest to value by investors. However, if we’ve focused our analysis in this presentation on this asset, this should not overshadow the other key levers that organizations need now for their transformation to be more and more systemic.
Digital native economic models have been built by design according to an extra-financial approach with monitoring and communication already focused on customer KPIs, and sometimes on talent or ecosystem metrics. By contrast, if players other than digital natives have initiated a deep transformation of their model, they have not yet adapted their reporting styles, even though this would enable them to better allocate resources and value the customer acquisition strategy.
Combined with this document, we are launching a new index dedicated to testing your own maturity regarding customer capital (how you’ve integrated this approach, how customer-centric your reporting is, how you use it). Once this assessment has been completed, this presentation will help drive you along the path towards a new reporting approach. Additionally, it will help you harness your organization's potential, which we've identified at both the internal and external levels, while focusing on stakeholder engagement and value creation levers.

The Future of Corporate Learning: from Training to Learning ExperienceFabernovel
With innovation cycles becoming ever shorter, companies are faced with a new challenge: keeping their key skills up to date in real time. This strategic dimension of ‘workforce planning’ cannot rely solely on recruitment; existing employees must be able to continuously learn new things. As such, the number one skill companies now look for is the capacity to learn, and companies are particularly looking for ‘learning animals’, a term coined by Google.

Vers une nouvelle ère de vos expériencesFabernovel
L’exposition Vasarely en cours actuellement au Centre Pompidou à Paris nous le rappelle : l’art est aussi affaire de méthode, de système, de programme. L’oeuvre de l’artiste hongrois-français ne doit rien au hasard : dès sa première période artistique, il met au point un alphabet plastique, lui permettant des combinaisons infinies de couleurs et de formes - garantissant une harmonie entre toutes ses créations, tout en rendant possible leur “industrialisation”. Digression ? Non, car les enjeux du design d’expérience aujourd’hui sont précisément ceux-là.
Cinquante-neuf ans après “Alphabet VR”, ce sont les expériences qui doivent passer à l’échelle. Et c’est exactement le propos du design system : une sorte de “toolbox” digitale à destination des designers, mais aussi des développeurs, chefs de projets et quiconque serait engagé de près ou de loin dans la conception d’une nouvelle expérience. Fini de bricoler des bouts d’expérience par-ci, par-là : le design system permet d’assurer la cohérence et l’harmonie sur tous les pans d’expérience d’une marque. Un outil plus qu’essentiel à l’ère de l’expérience.
In this study Gafanomics by Fabernovel, you’ll discover what is, to us – FABERNOVEL is among Slack’s early adopters, using it since 2014 –, Slack’s secret sauce and what makes it so special.
Slack is surely an incredible company with tremendous growth perspectives. But what does it mean in terms of work ideology? How can a single application transform culture, work relationships and, ultimately, entire organizations?
There is a (work) life before Slack... and another one after it: let’s see how Slack has impacted the corporate world.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Hot off the Crowd – FABERNOVEL's watch based on crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platforms // April 2015
1.
2. Whoever will consider themselves in this way, will get frightened of themselves, and, supposing they are held up by the mass that the nature
endowed them with, between those two abysses of infinity and void, they will shiver in the sight of those wonders; and I believe that their
curiosity turning into admiration, they will be more inclined to contemplate them in silence than to seek them with presumption.
Pascal, The two infinities, Pensées
Our two digital infinities: these are the assumption of this quarterly column, they are the GAFA - we had dedicated the end of 2014 to them -
with our GAFAnomics study - and all those projects, those millions of o�en tiny projects, that flourish or proliferate, supported by the
crowd. This crowd, by means of the internet, becomes expert. Pascal, founding father of computer science, was right: curiosity turns itself
into admiration, the presumption vanishes in front of the genius of the internets, but it would be a pity to stay silent when everything is
changing...
This Hot Off the Crowd edition was fueled by months of investigation and daily discoveries on the leading platforms: Kickstarter, Indiegogo,
AngelList, Product Hunt... And this time, we decided to shed light on GitHub, "the real open platform for code", halfway between a
Facebook for coders and a so�ware factory outlet, limitless, to cra� new applications.
Our key learning, at the start of 2015: the crowd is keen on ambition and nostalgia. Startups devise new approaches to tackle Internet
navigation and search, but also payments, thus challenging Apple, Google and Amazon. You can more and more subscribe to everything,
and probably sooner than later to anything. As regards nostalgia, what if emoticons were, at last, our Esperanto? What if social networks
had the memory of your granny? And we're pleased to notice (it's been for a few years now) the return of DIY within technology: building
one's computer, subscribing to surprise bags for makers.
Retro or future, tiny or giant, Pascal, again, would have said: the Internet "is ageless, it is always nascent".

SUMMARY
5. Created in 2008, GitHub has become the essential
website for developers, regardless of their chosen
language. On this platform, they give open access
to their code, their software so that others can use
and improve it.
Why should you pay attention to it?
It's not trivial to watch this platform and its
"deposits"! As a real trends indicator, Github is an
absolute must for every project that will count
tomorrow.
Moreover, the GAFA - Google, Apple, Facebook and
Amazon - make no mistake about it and expressly
ask their developers to contribute to the website's
projects.

PopcornTime
Popcorn Time is a cross-platform application that allows you to watch movies and
TV shows online for free. The program is a competitive alternative to
subscription-based video streaming services such as Netflix. Taken down by its
original developers due to pressure from the MPAA, it has been deposed on GitHub
in open source to enable its survival with forked versions.

7. REMIX CULTURE
With derivate and forked works, GitHub is the land of Reappropriation. A sign of time
but also a new way to see what is succeeding, according to Lawrence Lessig's Remix
Culture.
CODE'S DEMOCRATIZATION
"Deposit", "bootstrap", "framework": GitHub's keywords converge towards one purpose:
to simplify preexisting programming languages, and to make them more efficient in
their development and execution. But also handy. The popular Ruby on Rails language,
easy to learn and practice, is a figure of this democratization of the code.

9. Far from the "cliché" of the dodgy DIYer or geek, the
growing makers movement earns its pedigree. This
year, the TechShop fablab will open in Europe with
Leroy Merlin, a chain belonging to Adéo, the third
largest DIY retail company in the world.
Today we extend our experimentations to our
technological devices, we go to fablabs to print keys or
build Arduino-based connected objects. Also, a
mention to the Makerbox launched by Usbek et Rica,
which grants you direct access to Paris's fablabs.
Why should you pay attention?
The "BYI movement" responds to both an increased
consumer's concern about control and customization,
and a growing need for technological accessibility and
democratization. As in Africa, where there is an
outbreak of fablabs and where 3D printers and
computers are built by recycling wastes.

12. The advent of smartphones brings about the need for
a new search paradigm: whereas the web search
relied on universal adresses to index content and
services, the mobile era has engendered bloated app
stores and siloed apps, for which a connective tissue is
clearly lacking, using private and public data without
compromising the former. A gap that new upstarts are
willing to fill (and conquer), building a new index
infrastructure (called deep links) and a customized
search experience.
Why should you pay attention to it?
Look at the clout Google acquired starting from an
uncontested superiority in search, and you will
understand that the winning player will certainly be
the gatekeeper of our content for more than the
decade to come - and an Internet giant.

15. Credit cards are threatened to be wiped out from our
digital future: even if devices such as Stripe's dongle
are attempting to make them accepted in every store,
new substitutes have recently emerged, from Apple
Pay to M-Pesa, a feature-phone-compatible mobile
payment system that has almost become universal in
several African countries. Credit cards have barely
changed in several decades and may become
irrelevant to the smartphone era.
Why should you pay attention?
Reinventing the credit card system means broadening
its function, from a dumb piece of plastic to an
aggregator of multiple accounts and loyalty cards, a
spending tracker, a fraud-prevention device, all
coupled with a mobile app... Through a truly hybrid
(physical & digital) experience, credit cards could
become our "transactional identity" tomorrow.
FUTURE OF PAYMENTS: WITH
OR WITHOUT CARDS?
ONECARDTORULETHEMALL
16. It's no big news: several startups try to rethink the credit card as a unique card that will
replace the other ones. We already know the unsuccessful Coin or Clinkle. Here are the
new Knights:
Plastc, who wants to turn all your cards into one sophisticated device. With a magnetic
stripe and barcode display, Plastc Card's promise is to work in all the places you already
spend your money.
Final is meant to help people not only control their spendings but prevent fraud. Unique
credit card numbers can be set up with individual retailers.
Swyp, which is backed by the startup Qvivr, is the latest "smart" digital wallet system to hit
the market. Swyp learns users' behaviors and anticipates the card they want to use, based
on the time of the day or their location.

18. Netflix for movies and Spotify for music have made us
accustomed to an unlimited type of consumption. Source
of sociological changes regarding culture, this trend is
now extending to the physical realm. Unlimited
subscriptions were not so much a byproduct of the
digitalization of cultural goods but rather a new economic
model applicable to any industry.
Why should you pay attention to it?
The unlimited subscriptions trend reminds us that the
digital revolution is affecting every industry, on the web
and in real life. What links the two is the rise of platforms
that aggregate demand and fine-tune the client
relationships and their overall experience with third-party
providers. The result is a welcome access to more and
more goods and services. But this democratization
process also means that the economic power is shifting to
the client-facing platforms from the service providers, the
latter slowly becoming the commoditized endpoints of an
experience they do not control anymore.
UNLIMITED CULTURAL GOODS

19. A new wave of startups with disruptive business models revolutionized mass travel
on both sides of the Atlantic. The "all-you-can-fly" airfare concept created by the
company Surfair is growing. Beacon offers unlimited flights to a variety of
destinations across the Northeastern United States for $2,000 a month. Take
Air Europe's first experiment is launching in March 2015.

21. Facebook just announced a new feature called "On This
Day" which will allows users to highlight the content
they posted over the past years. It will be available on
both the website and the mobile apps.
The fact that Facebook is trying to ignite the spark of
nostalgia is not an isolated act, remember the previous
features "Look Back" ( a 62-second video montage of
your most notable moments shared on Facebook) and
"year in review"(surfacing the 20 most popular posts in
one's timeline).
But we can quote several other initiatives driven by
other social networks including Foursquare's Time
Machine, Instagram's best moments...
Why should you pay attention to it?
In the era of information proliferation, finding and
remembering events that we hold dear is not easy. The
Millennials adopt as fast as they forget the new features
and apps that give them the satisfaction to review,
consume and share again those memories.
Marketing strategies which value propositions based on
nostalgia make it possible to re-engage users, to
encourage them to return on the social platform.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID
LAST SUMMER
SHARINGNOSTALGIA
22. This new feature propulsed by Facebook is in fact not surprising. Popular Apps are
directly targeted, and they have the advantages to be connected to not only with
Facebook but also Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare...
Timehop is a "time capsule of you".
Each day this popular app surfaces past status updates and pictures shared exactly
one or more years ago. Timehop helps you remember and share all of your online
memories.
Since 2013, Memoir helps you relive and share your best memories - buried in
your camera roll, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Dropbox, and your Mac
accounts - when they matter the most and with just the right people. Every single
day.
NOSTALGIC APPS
SHARINGNOSTALGIA
24. Thanks to many specific mobile applications, Millennials handle a
particular language made of images that allow them to visually
support their emotions and reactions.
Text messages, tweets, Facebook inboxes or Line messages are filled
with emoticons – from emojis to stickers – and compete for new
discoveries to stimulate discussion: very short videos and gifs,
pictures associated with texts and drawings, sometimes directly
made on a touch screen.
A communication phenomenon quickly seized by brands: Ikea
offers its own emoticons keyboard (like Karl Lagerfeld with
"emotiKarl"), Burberry his stickers on Line...
Why should you pay attention to it?
This cultural phenomenon carried by Millennials summarizes years
of debate on the simplification of language - to curse the SMS
abbreviations is now outdated. If it appears to be effective, will it
soon be universal? This dream of a new Esperanto is defended by
The Guardian in his article "Emoji: the first truly global language?".
But don't be naïve, for now it is especially a boon for brands which
decline their products in emoticons and other stickers, which squat
social platforms and which extend their influence. Startups as Swyft
Media (in the United States) and Feeligo (in Paris) surf on this
emoticons "stickers" business by offering their services to brands.
