With an insatiable passion for mathematics and technology, combined with an entrepreneurial mindset, Nicolas Aidoud is optimistic and pragmatic about the future impact of artificial intelligence. He holds a PhD in Mathematics, applied to finance and marketing, from the University of Paris IX, Dauphine, and has held leadership roles as CEO of major technology, investment, and media companies across Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Most recently, as CEO of Capgemini (Australia & New Zealand), and previously as CEO and President of Prosodie-Capgemini’s Front Office Cloud Solution in Europe, he has overseen large digital transformations. As Managing Director of Carat France (Dentsu Aegis Network), he managed media investment and digital services for the biggest media agency in Europe. Considering the impact of AI on businesses and individuals requires a global vision, one that is unique in examining the potential and pitfalls from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. "AI could be a poison for humans or a cure to eliminate all the 'outs': burnouts, bore-outs, and brownouts," he says. Nicolas’ passion is to make this an accessible conversation for all—from senior executives to employees and students—to prepare for our future of work. Nicolas is Founder and Managing Partner of Feebe, based in Sydney, advising organizations and investing in artificial intelligence and deep tech for positive human impact.
In this session, participants will explore the innovative concept of the "Neuron Organisation," a new business structure designed to optimize the synergy between humans and AI machines. As AI technology increasingly contributes to value creation within companies, traditional human roles and motivations are shifting. This session addresses the critical tipping point where AI generates half of a company’s value, leading to potential disengagement among employees.
Participants will delve into the importance of redefining business structures to align AI capabilities with human potential. We will discuss how current organizational models fall short in accommodating this transformation and introduce the Neuron Organisation model. This model fosters a mutually beneficial relationship between humans and AI, enhancing collaboration and productivity.
Interactive elements will include case studies and group activities, where participants will design their own Neuron Teams—small, agile units integrating AI seamlessly. Through these exercises, attendees will learn how to reconfigure traditional departments into flexible, AI-enhanced teams focused on strategic goals such as customer service, supply chain, and R&D.
In this session, participants will learn how to navigate the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on organizational strategy and workforce roles. As AI reaches a tipping point in value creation, traditional human contributions are evolving. This workshop will guide companies in smoothly transitioning to this new era, redefining strategies and operating models to maximize AI's potential while empowering human talent with new roles and knowledge.
Participants will explore strategic redefinition, learning to reshape their company's strategy to leverage AI-driven insights and capabilities. They will discover innovative operating models that seamlessly integrate AI into business processes, enhancing efficiency and productivity. The session will also focus on human capital enhancement, helping participants identify and develop new roles for their workforce, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive alongside AI.
Interactive elements include hands-on activities, real-world case studies, and expert-led discussions. Participants will actively apply what they learn directly to their organizations, ensuring practical and impactful outcomes. The session will culminate in the creation of a customized roadmap, providing attendees with a tailored action plan to implement AI-driven strategies and operational changes within their companies.
