"Quand tu fais appel à un zèbre, tu lui demandes pas d'enlever ses rayures !"
Ludo (Gilles Lellouche) dans Ma vie en l'air - Rémi Bezançon - 2005

Depuis 10 ans maintenant j'aime bien gratter et provoquer partout où je passe, pour comprendre comment fonctionnent les choses (organisations, interactions humaines, business model, ...) et pourquoi on ne ferait pas autrement.

Aimant toucher à tout j'interviens au sein de plusieurs collectifs, dans plusieurs domaines, pour arriver à mes fins : imaginer et se projeter dans le futur, repenser les organisations et les manières de travailler, interroger le positionnement et la valeur des offres (produits et services), travailler la prise de parole et la mise en récit.
