3. Because we dare
Being a woman does not ease leadership over complex organizations and within disrupted ecosystems.
To some extent, it makes it more difficult.
This may have inspired women leaders to consider how they role model in developing human capabilities
to overcome this intricate framework for change. They build connected communities to inspire change.
They raise smart students able to cooperate in caring, encouraging teams and working environment.
Moreover, they do so in the midst of an unstable digitalized business environment, seeking to
build “a fairer world.”
They do so because they know the value of fearlessness, and therefore they dare.

12. Cities, citizens and technologies:
what makes social innovation
intelligent?
As in many other systemic discussions, i.e. conversations that analyze the systemic dimensions of our
developments, experts strongly disagree on the meaning for smart cities. Is being smart being
technologically connected?
Or is it the intelligence of engaged citizens, local talents and resources across a given ecosystem that
makes cities smart?
The digital and connected turn undertaken by socially oriented innovation initiatives encourage a
number of sector transformations, showing how closely engaged businesses, citizens and local
authorities can develop mutual value.

13. Innovation and the city
<<This may be a reason for French
social innovation experts to call for
an organized approach and support
to develop further initiatives that
create local ecosystems of human
knowledge and links, beyond
technologies.>>
https://weareinnovation.org/2017/03/26/cities-citizens-and-
technologies-what-makes-social-innovation-intelligent/weareinnovation.org
14. Social as an ambition
<<It is indeed the human
links and shared
intelligence that help
rebuild or develop diverse
communities, including
refugees and foreigners.>>
https://weareinnovation.org/2017/03/26/cities-citizens-and-
technologies-what-makes-social-innovation-intelligent/weareinnovation.org
15. Looking for social talents
<<Hence also the
necessity to bring
further human centricity
behind technologically
intensive and data rich
social initiatives.>>
https://weareinnovation.org/2017/03/26/cities-citizens-and-
technologies-what-makes-social-innovation-intelligent/weareinnovation.org
16. Inspiring Change Makers
How do social innovators address core roots of
social issues? They paint an accurate picture of local
needs and realities to redefine “intelligence” for their
cities
Why do they involve local citizens, businesses
and authorities? They involve local talents to create
cross-generations and cross-sector benefits for
society and businesses organized in ecosystems.
They also seek to attract digitally connected talents.
Where do they implement local ideas that may
generate systemic change? They implement change
within ecosystems supported by local authorities,
close to existing innovation and connected
infrastructures.

technologies-what-makes-social-innovation-intelligent/weareinnovation.org
18. Empowering the intelligent crowd
Customers and end-users are becoming knowledge savvy. They want to process information into
simplest and most complex thinking models to make the right decision. This can also be used for bad
purposes, and put users’ security at stake.
Experts seek to investigate the human factor. They want to address the learning opportunity as well as
the experience.
Users want to learn more, and learn better, which challenges brands and businesses approach to
information sharing.

23. Rethinking legal frameworks - is
smarter agriculture better
agriculture?
Although adaptations to newly developed technologies are under scrutiny, calls for rapid decision
pressure regulatory bodies to understand fast changes occurring across sectors, identifying the right
timing in the midst of growing emergencies such as block chain and fin tech.
On the environment side, the use of technologies to reduce carbon emissions and optimize energy
consumptions also question the type of intelligence that is needed to produce healthy and qualify food out
of productivity and data based approaches of nature.
As experts and specialists outline, across sectors and regardless of the technology analyzed,
there is an emergency to assess systemic impact of innovations and include the right
stakeholders, local inhabitants for instance, into decision making.

24. Rethinking legal frameworks
<<Experts highlight the time
needed to adapt the legal
framework around advanced and
fast developing digital tools,
leading to cross-sector
transformations.>>

frameworks-is-smarter-agriculture-better-agriculture/weareinnovation.org
26. Inspiring Change Makers
Why do agile players apprehend strategies in new
approaches thanks to data? Experts seek to refine
current legal framework and jointly identify pain points,
as well as better highlight current systemic impacts
(positive or negative) of industrialized agriculture
How do they break away from the usual
organizational and structural concepts that relate to
past ways of sharing information? Experts organize
sector standards from private initiatives and call on local
inhabitants to support energy transition projects.
Where do they use social communications even
though in early stages? They use press and media
channels to promote messages to active users and
readers, they seek to alert industrial stakeholders on
priorities and threats driven by cross-sector
digitalization.

28. Understanding the dynamics of
change through diversity
Along with new sources of intelligence and questions, unprecedented levels of doubts and
uncertainty are leading business experts and leaders to constantly assess the accuracy of
information they receive and share to manage projects within blurring limits and opportunities.
Models are being challenged: thinking frameworks, regulations, business and economic equations to
stability and growth. Yet impactful change makers find their way around, targeting those sectors and
initiatives that have systemic reach and human drive, applying technologies that add authentic and
distinctive value.
It’s about going beyond business focus and solving issues that engage customers.
https://weareinnovation.org/2017/04/03/understanding-the-
dynamic-of-change-through-diversity/weareinnovation.org
29. Developing horizontal, vertical,
systemic and technical diversity
By enabling a richness of ideas and a
dynamic communication of information from
customers to knowledge communities,
different levels of diversity and human centric
scales can help understand the dynamic of
change. Organizing diversity and
managing its different levels around a
human centric scale provides a better
understanding of core roots and potential
evolutions of technological, economic,
business and management change.

30. Our global story
The time and resource constraints faced by the digital economy questions our ability to
adapt a social, legal and environmental ecosystem to a digital disruption already taking
place on technological and economic sides.
Taking into account both the experience and knowledge exchange opportunity as well
as the slow cultural and skills adaptation currently outlined by leaders and experts,
what exact scope and meaning could we define for an intelligent digital economy?
