Make The Human Shift — English version
Make The Human Shift (MTHS) is an editorial laboratory focused on European industrial transformation.
It explores the tensions shaping industry today: energy volatility, AI adoption, sovereignty, organizational realities, and the constant need to decide under uncertainty.
This is not a news feed and not a tech blog. The ambition is to provide structured analysis grounded in real operational constraints — where strategy meets the shopfloor, and where decisions have consequences.
How the site is structured
The core editorial structure is developed in French. Articles in English are published selectively for international readers.
- The thesis: the guiding viewpoint of the project. → Read the thesis (French)
- Four axes of reflection: the editorial backbone of the French site. → Explore the axes (French)
- English articles: a curated selection of texts available in English, listed below.
If you want a single starting point: begin with the most recent English article, then explore older pieces based on your interests (energy, AI, industrial policy, decision-making).
What you will find here
- Long-form essays that connect industry, energy systems, and European constraints.
- Grounded perspectives on what AI changes in organizations — beyond hype and vendor narratives.
- Decision frameworks for leaders and practitioners facing uncertainty, trade-offs, and imperfect information.
- A human lens on management, responsibility, and the gap between strategy and execution.
