A5: Blockchain technology could be used to exercise decentralized power within organizations. We can draw a parallel with Holacracy model, which elicits new management model. #OCTAVE2019

A1. I’m Valérie Hernandez Amalou, Head of leadership programs & communication editorial director @danone, France #EVELeadershipChat

A1. The future of the #gigeconomy has the potential to be dominated by women, if certain drawbacks such as "lack of benefits" and "inconsistent income" are solved. Read this Hyperwallet report to learn more: bit.ly/2VRHyuK #EVELeadershipChat

A2. Flexible hours are perhaps one of the biggest advantages for women and especially mothers doing #gigwork. #EVELeadershipChat

A3. One of the biggest problems women face as gig workers is the lack of employee benefits such as #maternityleave and #childcare. #EVELeadershipChat

A6. My advice to female gig workers is to know their rights as gig workers and build a community of female gig workers that can provide support and guidance. #gigwork #EVELeadershipChat

A1. I'm Valérie Angliviel de la Beaumelle. I'm head of Communication Danone’s Programme EVE. We boost women’s leadership through seminars and yearlong activities that inspire both men and women. #EVELeadershipChat

A2.Companies must think of their impact and try to improve our world. Danone has a commitment to health and wellbeing, which also demands a strong ecosystem and social structures. Danone is also devoted to #womenempowerment in business. #EVELeadershipChat

A3.With initiatives like Programme EVE, a company can foster an empowering community, share valuable knowledge and use its resources to make a difference. Creating a team devoted to the cause helps make it happen. #EVELeadershipChat

A4. Sustainability is at the heart of long-term profit and that can only happen if we think about our social responsibility. It should be at the center of the business model. #EVELeadershipChat

A5. Companies have an identity that consumers identify with or believe in. Today stakeholders are aware that consumers care about more than the product and will invest in companies that stick to their values. #EVELeadershipChat

A6. There are many new ways of tracking big brands commitments, like the B Lab which gave Danone a certificate for using business as a source of good. #EVELeadershipChat

A1. I’m Valerie Angliviel de la Beaumelle. I manage communications at Danone’s Programme EVE. EVE is women’s leadership seminar that helps inspire individuals. We work from Paris and organize events to empower women across the globe. #EVELeadershipChat

A2. Many ways to answer this one, but I spontaneously think of inventive problem solving. The capacity to think outside of the box and find new solutions to unexpected challenges. It reminds me of this article on the EVE webmagazine: bit.ly/34Q09wi #EVELeadershipChat

A3. Ideally by observing them respond to a real problem, but this can also be tested in a conversation, asking them how they would respond to this or that challenge. #EVELeadershipChat

A4. Openness and trust count for much. Creativity thrives in a space of freedom. Members of the team have to feel there is room to be themselves and express ideas in a respectful, safe environment. #EVELeadershipChat

A5. I think what is done at Danone is interesting. There are spaces to be alone and concentrate, animated open areas, etc. Having flexible spaces helps creativity, I think, because the space reflects the needs of the work and facilities it. #EVELeadershipChat

A6. Essential! A plurality of voices and perspectives is what really helps you find new approaches at work. Diversity is also key to avoid groupthink and falling into your own bias. Reminds me of this good read on Harvard Business Review: bit.ly/2OSj97T #EVELeadershipChat
