• 23 September 2026

  HEC Alumni, C3 Club · “Will AI replace consultants?”

  “Responsibilities should be stacked. The junior answers for the sources, the manager for consistency, the partner for the recommendation, the client for the decision. And before every committee, ask the team for the three points that must survive the summary.”

• 16 September 2026

  FFSCN · Moderating the “Industry and AI” round table

  “My closing question: what should a client stop paying a consultant for? The panel’s answer: the playbook, everything a model produces at marginal cost. What the client should pay more for: the framing that contradicts it.”

• 8 June 2026

  Rennes School of Business · Closing of the management week, with participants from Shanghai
