L'Innovation Club célèbre la journée internationale des femmes avec 2 invitées d’honneur, deux powerhouse women qui partageront avec nous leur vision et les moments décisifs qui ont marqué leur carrière.
- Juliana Pantet, jeune Yverdonnoise avec une solide expérience acquise aux Etats Unis et dans la Silicon Valley. Elle est aujourd'hui directrice de l'Y-Parc d'Yverdon-les-Bains, un des des plus grands parcs technologiques de Suisse.
- Nadine Reichental, un des piliers de l'entrepreneuriat en Suisse Romande. Chargée de cours à l'Unil, elle est aussi l'initiatrice du programme d’entrepreneuriat pour adolescents "Graines d’Entrepreneurs" ainsi que présidente du "Club de Femmes Entrepreneures".
Gerhard Andrey est partenaire et cofondateur de l’agence Liip. Entre les bureaux de Fribourg, Bern, Lausanne, St-Gall et Zurich, près de 150 Liipers conçoivent et développent des solutions web et mobile sur mesure pour des entreprises privées comme des institutions publiques. Les équipes sont autogérées et travaillent selon les méthodologies Agile pour des entreprises variées, comme la Banque Raiffeisen, la Migros et l’Administration fédérale via le projet Open Government Data.
La forme organisationnelle non-conventionnelle de Liip, lui a permis de se développer de manière exponentielle durant les dernières années. L'organisation décentralisée, autogérée et l'absence d'un système de gestion pyramidal classique sont essentielles à son succès.
Gerhard Andrey expliquera comment Liip s’est peu à peu éloignée des modèles de gestion traditionnels, quels sont les pièges cachés comme les opportunités de succès.
