A demonstration example

A catchment-area study, in a few seconds

A demonstration is judged on the evidence. This one runs on public registers, and it shows what it could not obtain instead of making it up.

Expansion · public data

The knot
Opening a second site: where, and on which figures?
What we built
A tool that queries six public sources and shows the ones that did not answer, instead of making up the data.

Theme 1 · to open a seminar, run a meeting, dare to speak

Inspired leadership to bring your teams to life

Public speaking, running meetings and managing stress: your 5 superpowers.

Public speaking, running a meeting, presence: five gestures the whole room practises together. Pause, move, breathe, vibrate, laugh. A good way to better detect and positively channel stress, personal and collective, and to feel good speaking to others: breath, voice, presence.

The opening for this theme takes the form of an energizer: 20 to 30 minutes, room on its feet, phones off, up to 250 people, in French or English. The world will manage that long without you.

  • Opening

    20 to 30 min

    from €2,900 excl. VAT

  • Talk

    45 to 60 min + Q&A

    from €3,900 excl. VAT

  • Talk + half-day workshop

    the whole group

    from €5,500 excl. VAT

The energizer in a few images, set to music. Sound is off by default: turn it on from the player.
  • A script written for your event, timed to the minute, with a cut-down plan B: the allotted time is kept even if the programme runs late.
  • Suited to an international room: it is performed in English.

Theme 2 · for a seminar, an executive committee, a convention, a business network

AI, your team's superpower

Automate your processes, save time, perform together.

The basics of AI, then the angle of your choice: productivity, creativity, adoption by teams. Nicolas Baudry shares the house's own experience: how we built our software factory and our fleet of AI agents, and what they change every day. The talk is tailored to your company and your occasion.

  • Opening

    20 to 30 min

    from €2,900 excl. VAT

    45 to 60 min + Q&A

    from €3,900 excl. VAT

  • Talk + half-day workshop

    the whole group

    from €5,500 excl. VAT

  • 45 to 60 minutes: the basics, then the angle of your choice, then questions from the room.
  • Concrete examples drawn from our own use of AI.
  • With the workshop: 2 to 3 hours in small groups, your teams choose their first projects and leave with a quick-wins map.

To get the team going: the AI training, half-day €1,400 excl. VAT, full day €2,400 excl. VAT. Then the 90-day programme.

A recent reference

A room of 180 people, in English

An international pharmaceutical company wanted an inspiring, energetic atmosphere to launch the second day of its top-management seminar. About 180 people, in English: Nicolas opened the day with an energizer, the opening format of the “presence” theme.
