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.
Stéphane Distinguin, CEO & Co-founder at Fabernovel
We are pleased to release the second volume of our new KPIs report series. This study is dedicated to the new value creation levers in the digital era and in particular on the talent pillar: why it is a critical asset, how to monitor it, assess it and optimize valuation.
This comes jointly with an index to assess one’s company maturity on talent capital.

[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.
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.

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...

The numbers tell the story: 84% of C-suite executives believe they must leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve their growth objectives, yet 76% report they struggle with how to scale. With the stakes higher than ever, what can we learn from companies that are successfully scaling AI, achieving nearly 3X the return on investments and an average 32% premium on key financial valuation metrics?
To answer that question, Accenture conducted a landmark global study involving 1,500 C-suite executives from organizations across 16 industries. The aim: Help companies progress on their AI journey, from one-off AI experimentation to gaining a robust organization-wide capability that acts as a source of competitive agility and growth.

Green ICT in Singapore - Path to responsible and sustainable growthVikas Sharma
A white paper I wrote back in 2009 for a government client in Singapore (publishing here since it is a non-confidential document available in the public domain). It provides an overview of the relevance of green ICT and how Singapore ICT companies are contributing in this space.
Greenethiquette is aimed at service providers as well as users of digital services, especially where services are operated by a third party: cloud computing, Software as a Service, hosted web sites, hosted applications, outsourced information systems, etc.. The Greenethiquette charter requires service providers to take account of their environmental responsibilities and commits them to implementing and developing eco-friendly methods in IT services.
Any business or organisation which deals with hosted services can subscribe to the Greenethiquette charter at no cost by simply completing the electronic contract on the Greenethiquette website. The contract outlines criteria for hosted service providers, based on existing guidelines, such as the European Code of Conduct for data-centre efficiency and the Climate Savers computing initiative. Greenethiquette commits service providers to report on their eco-efficiency in hosted applications.

Deploy digital sobriety: guiding toward a sustainable information system
Celine Lescop, Lead Digital Sustainability & Data Architect at AXA & Shift Project Report Co-Author
According to a well-argued, climate change "has to be considered as the biggest
market failure the world has ever known before. There is scientific consensus that the world has a little
time to deal with increased emissions of greenhouse gases and climate change. The aim of this paper is
to promote the implementation of new Information Technology companies in order to get a grip on
consumption and energy efficiency in industrial sectors that make up the business. At the present time,
we thought it needed to boost the use of ICTs as a powerful tool for the preservation of the
environment and educate both employees and employers in using them to build a new business
network aware and directed toward sustainable economy. We believe that the ICT sector can play an
important role in reducing carbon emissions. Information technologies have the potential to reduce
overall carbon emissions by 15% by 2020, this 15% is between five and ten times the energy they
consume. We consider four main areas in which the application of ICT has enormous potential in
reducing harmful emissions and create a relief for the health of the planet: Motor systems, Logistics,
Buildings and Grids.
Market Challenges
Increasing regional and state-based climate change policies and long-term renewable energy strategies will bring a profound change to the industry. You need to be able to meet these challenges head on. http://bit.ly/qhcWKy
Green Computing, eco trends, climate change, e-waste and eco-friendlyEditor IJCATR
This study focused on the practice of using computing resources more efficiently while maintaining or increasing overall performance. Sustainable IT services require the integration of green computing practices such as power management, virtualization, improving cooling technology, recycling, electronic waste disposal, and optimization of the IT infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements. Studies have shown that costs of power utilized by IT departments can approach 50% of the overall energy costs for an organization. While there is an expectation that green IT should lower costs and the firm’s impact on the environment, there has been far less attention directed at understanding the strategic benefits of sustainable IT services in terms of the creation of customer value, business value and societal value. This paper provides a review of the literature on sustainable IT, key areas of focus, and identifies a core set of principles to guide sustainable IT service design.

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. Cette 54ème édition n'a pas dérogé à la règle !
Alors, pourquoi tant d’engouement autour des campagnes publicitaires du Super Bowl ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impressive, intriguing China is all too often dismissed as a source of inspiration for being “too different”.

Teleworking and flex-office: moving towards mobile employees?Fabernovel
In the digital age, companies have access to tools which allow them to pursue having mobile workers both in and outside of the company. They are referred to as teleworking and flex office.
In 2019, it is no longer a question of whether or not to allow flex office and teleworking, but of how to manage the transition in a way that protects employees and does not interfere with the organization’s performance.“

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Personal Brand Statement:
As an Army veteran dedicated to lifelong learning, I bring a disciplined, strategic mindset to my pursuits. I am constantly expanding my knowledge to innovate and lead effectively. My journey is driven by a commitment to excellence, and to make a meaningful impact in the world.

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.
"How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep
while our beds are burning? "Midnight Oil, “Beds are burning”,
Diesel & Dust, 1987
Infrastructures must be at the forefront of the unavoidable objective
to contain global warming below the 2°C set by the Paris Agreements.
As long-term investors, it is our duty to fully take part in this global
urgency to fight climate change.
My intimate conviction is that this objective cannot be achieved on time
without a more sober approach and without technological innovation.
The value creation must now be equally assessed by financial
performance and by the externalities generated by an asset.
Our Augmented Infrastructure framework should thus drive the new
dynamics of this approach and innovation should be considered
as an enabler for a better climate impact. We also all need to be aware
of the environmental impact of digital itself and find ways to mitigate
it in its design as well as its usage.
How can we innovate and act for climate?
How do we prepare our infrastructure assets to face the changing
dynamics of our economy and our world?

3. The Augmented Infrastructure
model must resonate
with our meta-infrastructure:
Earth
Since climate change is one
of humanity’s biggest challenges,
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
4. Climate urgency amplifies the importance of our global
impact on the environment
Worldwide emissions growth is 70% higher
than the long term objective.
The aim of the COP 21 Paris agreements in 2015 is
to keep global temperature from rising above 2°C
compared to pre-industrial levels.
Recognizing that climate change has a significant
cost for the global economy.
In this context, there is an imperative to use
connectivity not only for efficiency but also for
carbon footprint reduction to be in line with the 2°
target.
Combating climate change is a top
priority for Ardian’s sustainability
strategy
Among key actions :
● Investing in clean energy: 3GW green energy
capacity and c.€1.5 billion invested
● Measuring the carbon footprint of portfolio
companies
● Building trajectory scenarios and identifying
reduction levers
● In 2015, Ardian co-founded Initiative Climate
International, endorsed by UN PRI in 2018
Infrastructure, as a key pillar of the global economy,
needs to lead the way in carbon emissions
reduction.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL

5. Our conviction is that the valuation approach in the new economy
needs to integrate all drivers for value creation and provide a 360° view of businesses.
Different pillars need to be integrated to assess a company’s value, growth sustainability and business model
resilience. Including, clients, talents, ecosystem, software and societal & environmental impact.
… but failing to tackle the climate challenge
can be a source of value destruction
The American energy group PG&E was accused
of having caused forest fires in California due
to a poor infrastructure maintenance.
Even if there are some other causes, PG&E may
have not anticipated the increasing climate risk.
A reduction in the carbon footprint
can lead to a lower financing rate ...
LISEA issued in Feb 2019 €905m Green
Bonds on EU market. Thanks to its
alignment with Clean Transportation
Green Bond Principles and the project’s
social impact, it has benefited from:
● A decreased cost of debt
● An extended average maturity
The more
environmentally
efficient
the infrastructure
is, the lower its
risk premium
and the better
its return will be.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
5
This impact needs to be integrated
in value creation assessments
6. A crucial factor for user engagement
This positive impact
on carbon footprint
will now have
to be monitored
and communicated
to users requesting
transparency.
And will play
on user retention
and monetization.
“Many of our decisions address social
or environmental concerns. (...)
We do this not only out of conviction, but also for
strategic reasons. We are convinced that this can
enhance our attractiveness. (...)
We have calculated that this saves us 100 million
euros per year in acquisition costs”
Pascal Demurger,
CEO
Coming back to our conviction of value creation, we believe that the
infrastructure commitments to climate and societal issues will
increasingly be key for user retention and monetization. Ultimately,
feeding into valuation and investor engagement
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL

7. And investor engagement as well
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL

Ardian’s investor growing interest for ESG issues has
accelerated ...
Ardian Infrastructures commits to an annual
overview of its portfolio carbon footprint
… and renewable energy stocks have been
outperforming oil & gas, benefiting from a sharp
reduction in the cost of wind and solar and higher
attractiveness for investors
8. The systemic
approach
is at the heart
of the Augmented
Infrastructure
framework ...
Intelligent
Open
Prolific
Resilient
Impactful
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
… as it is
a strategic
compass
considering both
digital issues
and externalities
8
9. The Augmented
Infrastructure needs to
integrate in a sustainable
way in its environment
to limit its impact
and ensure its long
term resilience
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
9
Thus, how are
digitalization and
environmental stakes,
at the center of this
strategic compass,
interacting?
10. Intelligence - the first step for a digital transformation
As of today, intelligence is the pillar on which
infrastructures are the most mature
and have initiated the highest number of key
projects, facing the necessity to optimize their
operations in an ecosystem which
has started to move to digitalisation.
Intelligent infrastructures have the capacity
to update their functional knowledge
continuously in order to improve
their operational efficiency
and the customer satisfaction.
In the context of value chain disruption,
intelligence is the first necessary step
to a wider digital transformation
of the business model.
Intelligent
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
10
11. User Centricity
Gain a better understanding
of how users are leveraging
the infrastructure to predict
operational performance and
improve user experience.
Omniscience
Become more aware
and have a better
understanding of itself
in order to improve
and adapt its operational
processes.
Proactivity
Maintain its state
of operation in order to
keep up its performance
through predictive
maintenance.
Improving intelligence is driven by the overall goal to continuously improve its performance
for its clients, its employees and its ecosystem.
Gather better intelligence to improve performance
While the first intention is to boost operational performances, operational efficiencies can also decrease negative
externalities, by lowering energy consumption, reducing risk of pollution, improving employee work conditions
and safety, increasing inclusivity, etc.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
11
12. … which indirectly
contributes to reduce
their environmental
footprint.
Combining digital
technology with
infrastructure creates
intelligence …
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
12
13. Data and connectivity are key to enhance our understanding of infrastructure, their operational processes, the
needs of their clients, and also the levers to reduce carbon footprint. The capability of infrastructures to collect,
analyze and exploit data improve their propensity to become intelligent and thus impactful.
Collect Analyse Exploit & leverage
Collect data on infrastructure,
its users and operations including
carbon emissions thanks
to sensors, electronic devices,
new protocols and communication
networks (Sigfox, LoRa, 4G, 5G)
Analyse the data to be collected into
actionable insights. Enrich collected
data with real time data extracted
from other systems. Ensure the
quality of data.
Use of these insights
to impact infrastructure
business models, architecture,
optimisation processes,
new services, energy
consumption etc.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
13
Data is the cornerstone to accelerate the path
to intelligence and carbon neutrality
14. Technology startups,
energy providers
as well as infrastructure
companies themselves
are leveraging data.
They develop software
that enable to monitor
and optimize assets’
activity and therefore
reduce their external

15. Naples International Airport (NIA), an Ardian Infrastructure
portfolio company, uses digital tools
to automate and optimize the management
of its different plants and terminals.
Management of aircrafts during ground operations
NIA has developed a tool to limit the taxi time of aircrafts
during their departure procedure.
Lighting and air conditioning in the terminal
It has implemented sensors on the terminal buildings
to automatically manage lighting and air conditioning
in terms of external conditions (air temperature, sunlight)
and the airport attendance (CO2 level).
What is next?
NIA is working on developing a predictive tool
to better anticipate temperature changes and increase its
efficiency when managing its buildings features
(air temperature notably).
-21% overall CO2 emissions
from 2012 to 2017
G.E.S.A.C has obtained
the Airport Carbon
Accreditation Level 3+
(Neutrality) in 2018.
"Naples International Airport is committed to sustain
the traffic growth with an environmental-friendly vision.
This is possible thanks to the engagement of the whole
Airport community and by discussing with the local
community”
Michele Miedico
Head of Environment,
Planning and Compliance, NIA

[Case] Naples International Airport: digital levers enabling
an energy efficient infrastructure
16. Ardian Infrastructure, in collaboration with
students from HEC, Ecole Polytechnique
and Ecole 42, has designed Air Carbon, a data
analytics platform that provides real-time
estimates of airports’ carbon emissions.
The objective is to create an emission model
that will enable airports to better understand
and predict the impact of its future initiatives.
Thus, infrastructures will be able to plan for
different scenarios and have a clearer vision
to design their operations considering
environmental aspects.
To date, the model is built with public data but
the ambition of Air Carbon is to integrate private
data from airports such as SEA Milan. It is aimed
to be used as a mapping decision tool to help
them collaborate effectively with third parties.
ARDIAN| FABERNOVEL
“Air Carbon has received a very enthusiastic welcome from
the management teams of our airport assets as a powerful tool
to measure, monitor and find levers to reduce our carbon
emissions.
The goal is to progressively implement it in all our airports.”

17. Predicting traffic creates the opportunity to manage and develop networks in order to minimize congestion
and consequently reduce the environmental impact.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
17
[Case] Quantcube Technology: a traffic prediction model
for monitoring congestion peaks
Ardian Infrastructure and SIAS (ASTM Group) have collaborated
on a Machine Learning predictive model with Quantcube
Technology, a French startup, to predict short term traffic
on SIAS highways in Italy and thus gain more insight
on congestion and flows on the network.
Most networks are not globally over-saturated,
simply not optimally used. Congestion generates high
environmental costs so improving the anticipation of peaks can
have a significant impact on energy consumption an air
pollution:
● In 2015, the Texas Transportation Institute analyzed congestion
in 471 urban areas in the US and found
that urban dwellers wasted 3.1 billion gallons of fuel
● The city of Boston estimates that only 10% of their road
network accounts for 70% of traffic-related air pollution.
18. Predity analyses data from IoT to better monitor
its infrastructure and gain operational efficiency
by optimizing technicians intervention.
Thanks to real time monitoring of their
installation, Engie Cofely can anticipate problems
and either take action remotely,
or plan an intervention and optimize the time
of the technician.
This optimization tool and methodology
to better supervise installations has been offered
to its BtoB/BtoT clients, enabling them
to optimize their operations
and energy consumption and serving Engie’s
commitment to overall reduce carbon footprint.

19. But to address more globally
the different challenges
posed by the climate crisis …
… we also need
to think on broader scale
than that of infrastructure.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
19
20. Given the acceleration in the urbanisation process,
there is an imperative to consider the city scale. The
city is complex, brings together these externalities and
acts as an orchestrator.
The harmonious integration of infrastructures in
cities will be critical, one key element being urban
transports.
Digital provides tools to address the city complexity,
improve its self-knowledge and its efficiency, connect
systems and measure impacts.
And in the end, to make it more human
and environmentally friendly.
In 2050, 66% of population will be living in urban
areas. Thus, the issue of carbon footprint goes far
beyond the model of an intelligent infrastructure.

The city model as a meta-platform enables scaling
the question of infrastructure impact
21. As part of the initiatives led in cooperation
with Ardian Infrastructure, Indigo developed
a free floating service of electric scooters
and bikes in urban areas.
It launched Indigo Weel in 2017 which now
covers 7 cities with 9,950 bikes deployed
in France and Smovengo which operates Velib’
in Paris since 2018.
These solutions are an alternative
to the Public Transport Networks.
The companies work alongside communities
to help them solve congestion, pollution
and isolation issues (lack of infrastructure
for the last few kilometres).
Today, they are both strongly
supported by users.
“Ardian’s investment in Indigo has enabled
the business to accelerate Indigo’s growth, most notably in
Europe and the Americas. Indigo is now a leading player in
individual mobility globally, and this is a position which has been
both established and expanded with Ardian’s support.”

22. By having access to users’ data,
digital players are able to offer
seamless transportation
experiences through
Mobility-as-a-service applications
and start to position themselves as
city orchestrators.
This aggregation of soft mobility
solutions is a first step towards
a more collective approach
although it does not fully answer
the needs of a greater inclusivity,
the reduction of cities’ carbon
footprint and the development
of a more sustainable
environment. After the launch of Citymapper, Transport for London (TFL)
abandoned the idea of developing its own smartphone
application.

23. Remix develops a SaaS solution that enables public authorities
and cities to have a complete vision of their infrastructure
and make holistic decisions regarding transit.
They need to face congestion issues to offer a smooth experience
to commuters and therefore explore the potential
of shared mobility services, which leads to more sustainable
cities.
The case of Providence
The city of Providence had the ambition to grow its bicycle
network and needed to streamline its street design process.
It partnered with Remix to:
● Develop a conceptual design of the network
● Test scenarios in existing conditions

infrastructures’ necessary transformation
which can serve both operational
and environmental
efficiency.

26. Data traffic, which is responsible for 55%
of digital’s energy consumption, grows 25%
per year, highlighting how this situation
needs to be tackled.
A high underlying level of energy consumption
The global energy consumption
by digital means represented almost
3%* of the total world energy
consumption in 2018.
Cumulatively, data centers and data
transmission networks account
for almost half of the digital
consumption.

ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
26
27. Several biases contribute to the increase in energy consumption.
The digital economy does not
replace the traditional one,
it adds-up.
Users believe digital assets
to be intangible, their
impact to be neutral and
their resources to be
infinite.
Finally, optimization can
create an inverted effect:
asset optimization can
lead to further use,
increasing again the
energy consumption.

29. We identified
three main
methods
to minimize
the negative impacts
of the digital
economy,
from shortest
to longest term
solutions
Minimizing the negative outcomes
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
Accelerating energy transition:
Shifting to a new energy mix to power energy-intensive infrastructures
like data centers.
Recycling energy consumption:
Recycling waste from energy-intensive activities
(and capturing the polluting discharges).
Optimizing data centers:
Improving power usage effectiveness of data centers as these facilities
scale up, in order to reduce the amount of energy used.
29
30. The shift away from small, inefficient data centers
towards much larger cloud and hyperscale data
centers creates more opportunities to minimise
energy consumption.
Redesigning how power is distributed minimizes energy
loss. Google reduces energy use in its data centers by
installing smart temperature and lighting controls.
Servers are custom-designed to use as little energy as
possible, stripped of unnecessary components and are
kept as busy as possible
to do more with fewer servers.
[Case] Optimizing Google data centers
By spring 2014, Google data centers used 50%
less energy than the industry average.
To go beyond, Google then built a machine learning
program to better predict and minimize the impact
of data center operations.
Aided by Google’s leading artificial intelligence
research group, DeepMind, the models have
produced:
a 40% reduction in energy used for cooling
and 15% reduction in overall energy.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
30
31. The development of a cloud infrastructure that also serves as a
heating infrastructure. Stockholm Data Parks is a programme
that seeks to help large data centers maximize cost efficiency and
sustainability with low cost renewable electricity and paid-for heat
recovery.
Data center excess heat is a valuable resource that can be
part of fighting climate change.
Stockholm Data Parks is expecting to meet 10% of the entire heating
need of Stockholm by 2035. One of the main incentives
for companies to join the programme in Stockholm
is financial – they get to sell their waste heat. How it works ?
Cold water feeds through pipes into the
data centre, where it’s used to create the
cold air they blow on their servers to keep
them from overheating. The water, which
has been heated by the cooling process,
then runs back out of the pipes and into
plants where it is distributed for heating.

31
32. The increase in climate change awareness has challenged tech business models to tackle ethical and societal
issues. Large companies, like Amazon and Google, have increased their green commitments, following pressure
from both customers and employees. Environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) are now becoming
fundamental to business performance.
"Amazon gets about 40% of its energy
from renewable sources with 15
utility-scale solar and wind farms.
That will move to 80% by 2024 and
100% by 2030.”said CEO Jeff Bezos.
The company aims for net zero
emissions by 2040.
"In 2018, we achieved twelve
consecutive years of carbon
neutrality and, for the second year
in a row, matched 100%
of the electricity consumption
of our global operations with
renewable energy” - Google
Environmental Report.
[Case] Supplying GAFA digital infrastructures with renewables
In 2016, Google signed
a 10 year Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA)
with the Ardian
Infrastructure portfolio
company, Lyrestad Holding
AB, a Swedish wind farm,
thus ensuring future
procurement of clean
energy.
ARDIAN | FABERNOVEL
32
33. Roughly 25%* of EU greenhouse gas
emissions come from the generation
of power.
As a result, the rising demand for power due
to the electrification of the economy,
(buildings and mobility solutions could
increase electricity consumption from 35
to 85%*) combined with company’s green
commitments, requires renewables to be
increasingly integrated in the energy mix.

33
34. A sustainable future will require new thinking, new systems and a transformation of energy production,
delivery and consumption. The shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy creates new challenges for the
energy grid and the use of data is key in solving them:
Changing the energy mix brings new challenges
The production of energy is intermittent due to
the nature of renewables (solar and wind).
Requiring higher flexibility of the grid in
order to match supply and demand,
as well as ability to predict the production.
Energy producers are more numerous
and decentralized.
Requiring new distribution systems
to link producers and consumers.
In the context of the decrease in subsidies given to renewables, all levers to optimize the asset performance
will be critical to favour the energy transition.

35. The German manufacturer Nordex partnered with Software AG to
adopt its platform - Cumulocity IoT - in order to manage its wind
farms.
The company plans to connect and monitor its 6,800 existing
wind turbines, using Cumulocity IoT as a platform for digitalization
and remote management of its turbines.
The platform offers its clients full-service monitoring, enabling
optimization of the performance of their wind turbines. In the
context of a reduction in grants, performance is key to ensure
further flows of investment into these assets.

36. [Case] Increasing renewable assets’ reliability and profitability
through data analytics
“We are working with a local university to develop
a model integrating our production data and local
weather data to improve our short term production
forecasts and we wish to rely on digital solutions
installed in our wind farms to leverage on our data
management. We are working with Ardian
Infrastructure team to find the right software which
could be rolled out on all the assets. These solutions
could allow substantial value creation for renewable
operators as well as facilitate the proper balance
of the grid if they were to be adopted globally.”
" We have started working in cooperation with Simone Tonon,
CEO of 4New, our platform of Italian renewable assets, in order
to improve our data analytics capabilities.
Our goal is to accompany our portfolio companies in their transition
from a subsidized world to a more merchant environment in which
it will be of paramount importance to have control of operations
and be amongst the most efficient operators, to mitigate
the intermittency of renewable energies and capture best market
windows. This will create direct value for us and we must enable
renewable assets to be more reliable in order to rely more and
more on clean energies in the energy mix.”

creative. They impose boundaries,
force us to look for formal,
technical and practical solutions,
to think "out of the box"
to circumvent problems
and meet the challenges
that conventional thinking
cannot address.
Our definition of designers:
anyone who imagines
and creates - designer, engineer,

an opportunity with the innovation program Room for River. Now Dutch firms
dominate the global market in high-tech engineering and water management
and the Netherlands are a source of inspiration for cities such as Jakarta,
New York or New Orleans.
41. One of the biggest
constraints of our
time — and therefore
crucial opportunity —
is the environment.
It profoundly redefines the
way designers conceive
services, products, spaces
and technologies.
The environment is under pressure.
Limited resources should drive
innovation in infrastructure, with energy
constraints - structural constraints -
social constraints…
and more.

42. Systemic design makes it possible to think and design,
by integrating human, environmental, and digital
characteristics to establish an interconnected system.
In the 21st century, we need to consider
a holistic approach to encompass human,
environmental, technological variables
and establish them as an interconnected
ecosystem. Each component of this
ecosystem needs to be considered
as an element of equal importance,
in order to build a sustainable system.
In this context, designers need to think
globally, considering direct and indirect
impacts of their innovative decisions
in these 3 areas.
This eco-systemic thinking enables
repositioning technology as a whole.
It becomes a tool and not an end in itself,
which can contribute a desirable future.

a commitment to sustainability,
through identification
of synergies and externalities,
taking into account direct
and indirect impacts.

44. Systemic Design Insight
Designers using this approach
consider the relationship
between complex systems,
rather than focusing on a single
part. This is essential for most of
the challenges we face in the city,
as the infrastructures are
interconnected and cannot be
solved separately. By taking an
overview and considering every
stakeholder, every flow of
synergy and action is identified.
Opportunities and new ideas arise
and can be incorporated early in
the process.
Nantes was elected Green Capital of Europe
in 2013, and Innovation Capital in 2019. This
recognition is the consequence of a systemic
approach mobilizing the actors at all levels
for a collective intelligence approach.
How ?
Nantes manages this systemic approach by:
● co-running 165 projects with citizens through
an online platform
● setting up an open governance on specific
topics through 10 councils, 5 re-founded and 5
new ones
● creating 8 to 10 citizen workshops
● founding a City Lab for companies,
universities and associations to test their
urban projects with a co-creation required
criteria
[Case] The systemic approach to enhance livability in cities
By taking into account the aspirations of various
stakeholders, Nantes has built four areas of
excellence: public transport, biodiversity, water
management and the Climate Plan, recognized by
the European Commission.

45. Systemic Design Insight
Designers are facing a change of
paradigm where innovation
increasingly correlates with
using as few resources as
possible. In the context of
infrastructure, the notion of
sobriety is essentially based on
the principle of optimization,
which aims to limit the pressure
exerted on natural resources
through circular exchanges.
The residue from one entity
becomes a resource for another
and works in a symbiosis.
The Kalundborg Symbiosis
is a partnership between nine
public and private companies
in Kalundborg.
Since 1972 they have developed
the World’s first industrial
symbiosis with a circular approach
to production.
How ?
The main principle is that
an output from one company
becomes a resource for another,
benefiting both
the environment and
the economy. Exchange concerns
energy, water and materials.

and sobriety within the industry

47. Collective intelligenceProspective
Impact Measuring
Bring together the different
stakeholders, citizens, public
partners etc. at differents steps
of a project to co-design the
best scenario adapted to the
territory.
Project into a plurality of
scenarios, and choose the
most positive option from
a social, environmental,
economic point of view.
Define and prioritize key
evaluation objectives and
criteria to define coherent
human-environment
solutions and be aware
of the impact in the short
and long term.

48. Systemic Design Insight
To create a future environment
and infrastructure, prospective design
approach helps to understand and shape
multiple possible futures, allowing us
to design tomorrow's products, services
and infrastructures in a constantly
changing world. Thanks to this approach,
designers have the opportunity to explore,
experiment, create and design projects
oriented towards the future.
It will help inform, design and create
processes. Additionally, it promotes pursuit
of objectives such as sustainability,
to provide long-term value and overall
well-being.
Replica is a software that models
and simulates possible living
scenarios of the city mainly for
transportation. Toronto, Chicago
and Kansas City are already using
Replica. Through an understanding
of the current situation and
changes, Replica drives their
planning decisions.
How ?
Thanks to de-identified location
data from citizens’ smartphones,
which provide the answer to the
question of who uses the streets,
and why and how. These models
can become the basis for things
like inclusive street design, which
would help planners explain the
impact that various options might
have on different populations.

simulate possibles futures and guide planning decision

49. A systemic approach is the solution to design augmented
infrastructures that are valuable and sustainable in the long run,
taking into account the next challenges of our society, within the
limited resources of our environment.
Thinking and designing
by integrating the notion
of "system" - human,
environment - at the same
level of importance.
Consider digital as a key
enabler.
Building efficient solutions
minimizing negative externalities,
preventing risks in advance
and establishing awareness
of potential impact.
