  • Industrial Decarbonization: We’re Running Out of Time and Illusions
    by Jérémy Dupont
    A sharp and grounded perspective on Europe’s industrial decarbonization challenge. This article argues that companies are not experiencing a smooth “energy transition” but a global energy competition where stability, visibility, and affordable power determine industrial survival. Drawing on real factory conditions, it exposes the gap between political narratives and operational reality—and why clarity and courage are now Europe’s only path forward.
  • The Substrate of Failure
    by Jérémy Dupont
    European industry keeps refining transformation methods while ignoring the real cause of failure: the organizational substrate. Culture, incentives, and risk tolerance—not methodology—determine whether transformations succeed or fail before they even begin.
  • The Courage to Lead People: What Real Management Looks Like Behind Closed Doors
    by Jérémy Dupont
    A sharp, human-centered reflection on real management: the invisible emotional labor, the courage to speak the truth, the balance between empathy and accountability, and the responsibility to protect the collective. True leadership happens behind closed doors — where managers stabilize, clarify, and elevate their teams every day.
  • The importance of managers in the age of AI
    by Jérémy Dupont
    In a world obsessed with AI, managers remain the bridge between algorithms and humans. This article explores why their role is becoming more strategic, not less, and how they can turn data and models into real decisions, trust and meaning at work.
  • Europe’s Impossible Mandate: Why Sustainability Became the Hardest Strategic Puzzle for European Companies
    by Jérémy Dupont
    Europe is asking its companies to do something no other region demands: deliver full sustainability transparency while competing against global players operating with cheaper energy, lighter rules and massive state support. CSRD exposes the truth of European value chains faster than Europe can transform them, creating a structural asymmetry where companies carry a mandate the continent itself has not yet aligned with industrial and geopolitical reality. The problem isn’t sustainability — it’s the absence of a coherent strategy around it.
