Keynote Speaker: Senior Advisor & Former Senior Partner & Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group

Yves Morieux Biography

Yves Morieux, a globally sought-after advisor on corporate transformation, works closely with the chief executives and leadership teams of top-tier companies worldwide to guide them through their transformation efforts. He currently holds the senior advisor position at Boston Consulting Group. His unique role enables corporations to balance productivity and employee satisfaction. His expertise in these areas has been honed through his engagement with over 500 organizations across various industries since his stint with BCG began in 1995. With his tenures in Paris, Mumbai, Washington DC, and the UAE, he has accumulated invaluable global perspectives.

Morieux's innovative approach to management has led him to pioneer the concept of Smart Simplicity, focusing on fostering environments where employees can generate creative solutions to complex challenges. This revolutionary concept has been shared with a wider audience through his TED talks, which have garnered more than 5 million views. In addition to this, Morieux has also held a BCG Fellowship from 2008 to 2017 and is set to embark on another BCG Fellowship in 2019. His previous role before joining BCG was a Director in a private research and counseling practice that specialized in the application of social sciences findings to corporations, public-sector organizations and markets.

Dr. Morieux holds a PhD in industrial marketing from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, a DEA in decision sciences & organizational sociology from the Paris Institute of Political Science (Sciences Po), a postgraduate certificate in research and quantitative skills from the Scottish Business School, an MSc from SKEMA and is a Salzburg Seminar in American Studies alumnus. His academic career extends to teaching in the Advanced Decision Sciences & Organizational Sociology programs of the Paris Institute of Political Science and acting as a social science expert for the French National Research Agency (ANR). He has also lectured in various executive development programs such as Insead, IMD, and Sciences Po.

One of his significant contributions to the business and academic scene is his co-authorship of the book "Six Simple Rules: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated" with Peter Tollman. This best-seller, along with his other publications, has been translated into nine languages. His insights and expertise are frequently featured in prominent media outlets such as The Economist, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, Time, and Le Monde.

Yves Morieux Speaking Topics

Smart Simplicity: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated

Companies typically respond to the new complexity of the business environment -- the need to satisfy more performance requirements, notably lower cost and higher quality, speed and reliability, innovation and efficiency, standardization and personalization... -- with a burdensome proliferation of structures, solid and dotted lines, committees, processes and systems in the organization. This internal complicatedness stifles productivity, innovation, and disengagement at work. There is another way to face the new complexity of business, that I have called ""smart simplicity"".

Attendees will learn solutions to create competitive advantage by facing business complexity while eliminating internal complicatedness. The ""six simple rules"" will illustrate the tools that thus help create more value for all stakeholders at lower cost.

New Ways of Working: the Social Economics of Relational Productivity

The temporary elimination of the office – the container – during the pandemic lockdowns led to an illumination of largely ignored and untapped potential in the content of work. This discovery by subtraction allowed to highlight the importance of Relational Productivity: the performance differential that accrues from connectedness, irrespective of the physical proximity between employees.

Attendees will learn how organizations can leverage Relational Productivity to achieve major improvements in both performance and satisfaction at work. The approach, tools and prescriptions go far beyond the pros and cons of physical, hybrid, and remote work settings. They are relevant to any organization, irrespective of where work takes place.

Transformation: How to Change what Really needs to Change for Better Results

Change management is at the same time one of the most burning issues for organizations and the topic with the most number of misconceptions. These misconceptions cause errors by commission and errors by omission. Things don't change, or get worse. In the end we blame the people's ""resistance to change"", their mindsets, attitudes, and even their personality. This adds injustice to ineffectiveness. Yet, state-of-the-art proven results from social and behavioral sciences provide clear and effective insights about successful transformation.

Leveraging the speaker's experience counselling more than 500 organizations, the session will explain and illustrate the battle-tested solutions to drive transformation. These solutions include tools and methods that translate scientific insights into practical approaches for leaders.
