The Covid crisis has had two major effects on businesses.
The first, a direct consequence of confinements, is the explosion of teleworking.
The second major change in this crisis is the acceleration of deep trends that have already started.

The first morning, June 1, will be devoted to the Big Bang of Work with substantive questions: with teleworking and the explosion of new technologies, is wage employment threatened?
The second morning will deal with the place of business in society, with citizens, States and all stakeholders.
Finally, the morning of June 3 will be devoted to environmental responsibility: are companies doing enough to fight the climate emergency?
Producing clean, innovating and working differently are challenges as colossal as the upheavals caused by assembly-line work and industrial mechanization at the start of the last century.
Let’s hang on our seat belts, this revolution is rolling in…
