Mission accomplished for the<sup>third edition<\/sup>of the ASAGE Carri\u00e8res Meetings, which took place over the course of an evening on April 4. <\/p>\n<p>For the participants, this was not a theoretical issue to be addressed but rather a concrete and practical challenge, which everyone was eager to tackle during small-group discussions of 10 people\u2014organized by industry sector\u2014with leaders recognized for their career paths and innovative initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Ten sectors and fields were represented by prominent figures from a wide variety of backgrounds, all of whom were involved in the topic, both personally and through their organizations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Eric de Rocquigny<\/b>, International Director of Operations and Business Units, Van Cleef &#038; Arpels<b><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Jean-Paul Kneib<\/b>, Director of the EPFL Space Center and the EPFL Astrophysics Laboratory<\/li>\n<li><b>Anne-Caroline Pissis-Martel<\/b>, Head of the Global Fellowship Initiative and the Creative Spark at the GCSP (Geneva Center for Security Policy)<\/li>\n<li><b>Urs Kluser<\/b>, Secretary General, UEFA Children&#8217;s Foundation<\/li>\n<li><b>Andr\u00e9 Delafontaine<\/b>, founder of Go Beyond Investing and Excelerate Partners<\/li>\n<li><b>Denis Boutang<\/b>, CEO, D\u00e9lifrance<b><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Bertrand Gacon<\/b>, founder of Impaakt, Head of Corporate Sustainability at Lombard Odier<\/li>\n<li><b>Edgar Haldimann<\/b>, Smart Lab Manager, Romande Energie<\/li>\n<li><b>Franklin Servan Schreiber<\/b>, former IOC communications director, engineer, and socially conscious writer<\/li>\n<li><b>Gregory Chollet<\/b>, co-founder of LOYCO and head of marketing and quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laurent Tranchida, Chief <\/strong>Human Resources Officer at IMD Business School (Laurent is kindly facilitating the education-research roundtable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the opinion of the participants, &#8220;friendliness, simplicity and truthfulness of the exchanges&#8221; allowed for rich discussions as well as a connection around a common goal.<\/p>\n<p>The proposals developed during the roundtable discussions involve employees equally in an individual process and the companies responsible for creating the conditions necessary for meaning to emerge.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the evening, both organizers and participants expressed a desire to take things further and continue the discussion: why not explore one or more of these topics in greater depth and consider how to put them into practice in their companies?
