MICHEL SALOFF COSTE
Michel Saloff-Coste, a consultant in communication, strategy and management, got involved in more fundamental research on these topics, and directed a permanent multidisciplinary workshop, from 1995 to 1997, at the Ministry of Research in France, on the topic of societal change, and geared toward devising a new epistemological framework.
In 1991, he joined Bossard Consultants, a top leading European consultancy firm, as head of R&D within 'Bossard Institute'. In 1993 he created his own research and consultancy firm MSC ET ASSOCIES (Management, Strategy, and Communication) specialized in global governance and sustainable development. He has been President of MSC ET ASSOCIES since its foundation.
Michel Saloff-Coste's actual research focuses on the paradigm shift within the Information Society that he himself defines as a 'Creation-Communication society'. He elaborated a structural grid that defines the evolution of civilization in four waves namely 'hunting & gathering', 'agriculture & breeding,' 'industry & commerce,' and 'creation & communication'. Then he analyses the interaction between different representation fields (which he calls 'reality fields'). He developed further his framework with Carine Dartiguepeyrou and together they sorted out ten long-term visions of the future called 'horizons'; their collaborative work was published in a co-authored book Les horizons du futur.
Michel Saloff-Coste works for the prospective and strategic departments of several multinational corporations and governmental organisations, such as EDF, France Telecom, Peugeot and Xerox.
Saloff-Coste is a member (within the CNRS - National Centre for Scientific Research) of the 'Prospective 2100 STIC,' studying the impact of Information Sciences and Technologies on societies as well as the interface between technologies and humans.
He is a co-founder of New Cap Invest - a venture capital company dedicated to promoting highly innovative companies.
Michel Saloff-Coste is a professor at HEC, in the Executive Development department. He is a member of the World Business Academy. He is co-founder of 'Club of Budapest France' - an international non-profit organisation dedicated to implying citizens into discussing complex global issues - and a member of its executive committee.
Michel Saloff-Coste is the author of Le Management du Troisième Millénaire (1990, 1991,1999; Paris: Guy Trédaniel), and co-author of Les horizons du futur (2000; Paris: Guy Trédaniel).
