What #FrenchTech is doing to support local retailers via digital #startup solutions | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

A l’approche des fêtes de fin d’année, il est d’autant plus important de les soutenir pour les accompagner dans cette période transitoire. Pour y voir plus clair, voici un listing non exhaustif d’initiatives à privilégier pour participer au soutien de l’économie locale française.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: every country, state, region is faced with similar problem: keeping local stores alive during covid shutdown - and then later on in the face of eCommerce popularity. This article provides a non exhaustive list of French startups that focus on helping local retailers.

eCommerce leader @Cdiscount opens 3000sq.ft. warehouse to let #startups innovate & disrupt #innovation #digital #disruption #agile @bastienginer | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

The Warehouse est le premier entrepôt destiné aux startups pour créer la supply chain du futur. Créé par Cdiscount, ce lieu d’innovation propose un programme d’accompagnement de 6 mois, alliant à la fois du mentoring pour challenger la stratégie des startups, mais également des ateliers de codesign avec les utilisateurs experts de leur métier, afin de contextualiser les solutions logistiques des startups sélectionnées.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: we all say companies must innovate but often they struggle because of internal operational constraints - after all they have a business to run and cannot disrupt their operations to try things out. That is why such an experiment by CDiscount is so important: they have created both a *place* where startups can do their things and a *process* for them not worry if they break something. Can't wait to see the results of that - but I guess it can only be positive, how can it not be?

This transformation echoes the impact of Facebook on the media: there is a dramatic leveling of the playing field. The advantages of scale that guaranteed success in the post-war era just don’t matter very much when advertising is cheap, shelf space is infinite, and shipping is free. And, just as Facebook’s breakdown of the media broke down the political parties, Amazon’s break-down of physical retail will have its own knock-on effects: carrying household supplies is a major reason to own a car, for example, which means Amazon is a laying the foundation for a service like Uber to shift from being a car supplement to a full-on substitution.
Farid Mheir's insight:

A discussion on the impact that technology innovation has had on the election of Trump and more disruption to come from Amazon. 

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

The author presents compelling arguments about reasons why technology innovation has had such an impact and forces us to rethink most business models. Moreover the analysis of Trump's election as evidence that the power has shifted from editors and political parties to voters and end users is just brilliant and I will certainly use it in the future!
