We extracted the information stored in our head and laid it on papers. 23 slides to grasp the Systemic Economy model with its 2 cornerstones: Stakeholders ecosystem and 7D-Value(c).
Two very powerful concepts (ie. and tools) to create more value in your business or company, to survive or to grow.
Pointless to say that one of the purpose is to expand the company's playfield and place it in best position to cover more grounds than competitors.

How we got there?
We started our research 13 years ago with deep intuition that we were on the verge of a major
shift. It proved correct with the burst of the techno bubble and with the real estate crisis and
the deep recession that followed.
Following these years of research, on-the field observations, pilot projects, confidential forum
with leaders and interviews with highly regarded experts we arrived at the systemic economy
model.
Roland Gillet: « It is of utmost importance to get out of the current
economic paradigm that led us to this current imbroglio of
unsustainable debt. It is =me to re‐think the role of each stakeholders in
a changing world. »

A changing world
The world is drastically shifting in multiple dimensions.
Never in history we have been coping with such changes. We have to shift – in less than one
generation – from a debt-based growth economy to a human progress-based sustainable
economy.
Sectorial folding up vs. contiguous redeployment
Within this global shift, entire segments of business disappear,
and new ones open up.

Systemic challenges (1/2)
Some big issues requiring actions at multiple levels...
Demographic growth and imbalance
By 2100, 22.3% of people will be aged 65 or over, up from just 7.6% in 2010.
Managing diversity (age, gender, cultures)
Diversity is otherness or those human qualities that are different from our own and outside the
groups to which we belong, yet present in other individuals and groups increased thanks to
the globalization and the communication media

Vulnerability of currencies
“Currency war” is a major example; with inter-connected economies and the free flow of
currencies, a decision from one central bank affect all markets.

Stakeholders’ Ecosystem
The linear relation “Supplier – Company – Client” is out of fashion.
The future will be collaborative, connecting stakeholders needs and resources within new
business models, creating more value for the whole.
Access more resources with less risk Faster go-to-market with higher ROI
« Companies center their teams around a common goal. Once done, it desagregates to recreate itself for
another project. There is a transportability of the company in various domains. Each stakeholder as an
evolving role. » (B. Colmant, Partner at Roland Berger)

When drawing the ecosystem, the key is to link a stakeholder’s resource with another
stakeholder’s need.

7D, Dimension 1 – Contributory vision
Purpose is the strongest mobilizer for people. A contributory vision taps
into deep desire of human beings.
Focus on a company’s future and reason of being, intertwined with the
business model development.
As a way to attract the top talent as well as clients.

Dimension 2 - Knowledge
“OECD economies are increasingly based on knowledge and information. Knowledge is now recognized as
the driver of productivity and economic growth. As a result, there is a new focus on the role of information,
technology and learning in economic performance.” (OECD Website)
Emergence of a knowledge-based economy in the 1960s.
It’s time to evaluate it in hard currency.
But certainly more the extent of not knowing Need to know what to search

Dimension 4 - Emotions
“Emotions normally are associated with specific events or occurrences and are intense enough to disrupt
thought processes.” (Brief, Weiss, 2002)
Impacts the relations between all stakeholders of the ecosystem and includes terms such a confidence,
motivation and trust.
“Loving oneself, loving the client, loving the job, loving the team is much better than being frustrated with
oneself, despising the client, hating the job, and being antisocial with the team... Open the heart of the
company” (Michel de Kemmeter, 2013)
Methods offer the possibility to calculate the managerial & productivity costs of an emotional incident (See
e.g. The Cost Emotions workplace continuity)
Suicides at workplace takes headlines which can decrease confidence in the company.

Dimension 5 - Processes
Optimized processes must deliver higher value:
– Sustainability and efficiency of production processes
– Waste management – the seven types of waste
– Circular inclusion of stakeholders resources from the companies’ ecosystem
The inefficiency or unsustainability on the liabilities side, and the cyclical aspects and
activation of hidden resources on the assets side of the balance sheet.
In our view, the tech bubble burst due to a lack of effective transformation processes of
knowledge into business (≈Monetization of the knowledge)

Systemic challenges require systemic response
When doubting projections (used by a lot of models…)
The Systemic Economy model:
– Takes the here and now
– Challenges the traditional boundaries
– Focuses on a long-term perspective (i.e. potential)
– Proved rigorous methodology
1. Perfectly adapted to the current and future world
2. Flexible enough to sustain all shocks, including black swans
3. Necessary shift to ensure survival of many companies and acceptance of heritage by the Z-Generation
4. Global systemic value creation by linking needs and resources with a dedicated scanning of potential
