Several tools within the group have been developed by Raphaël Poughon and Quentin Jaud , who manage the Compagnie Rotative.
The (continuous) implementation of an internal social network . It is the cornerstone of the launch of the group's transformation. Co-constructed with the group's employees, the common thread of the approach is based on design thinking, i.e. designing a tool so that it is as in line with user usage as possible and in an agile manner to make it evolve over time. Raphaël Poughon even speaks of a "Trojan horse of transformation", because it has the merit of "breaking down silos between departments" , "valuing the skills" of employees and "arriving at new management methods".
Organization of internal events, such as the "Mornings Labs" whose aim is to discuss innovation logics over breakfast and which manage to bring together several employees from different departments. Meetings are also organized with managers to discuss " digital trends" , in particular to "share monitoring".
This user-oriented design consists, according to Raphaël Poughon, of a desire "to integrate employees into this dynamic and not to impose strategies designed and thought out in a very vertical manner."
The initial vocation of the media lab was resolutely malaysia whatsapp number data 5 million focused on internal issues. But very quickly, Raphaël Poughon realized that "to work on transformation and innovation, we had to open up to the outside world . "
Increasingly, the Centre France Lab has gradually begun to collaborate with players outside the group. "First towards other media, then towards other professions" . This is also the reason why the media lab changed its name to become Compagnie Rotative. But always keeping this vision of "creating links and bringing trust in proximity" .
These new forms of collaboration manifest themselves in several forms.
Meeting with citizens . The lab organizes “Rendez-vous de la Montagne” (one of the group’s press titles) which are workshops where citizens and journalists meet “on the same level” on themes to recreate links between them.
Collaboration with journalists from other editorial offices. A “Journo Camp” was organized last year by the Media Lab to bring together data journalists from all over France. It gave rise to a “ data+local ” collective “which allows the exchange of best practices, know-how, tools, errors and databases” and to “push for open data” among database owners.
