🌿✨ Reflecting on an Incredible Gathering of Minds at Our Annual Member Summit! ✨🌿 Last week, we enjoyed bringing together our passionate members behind #sustainability and #marketing the natural food movement at our much-anticipated #ForumforNaturals Annual #MemberSummit. It was a day marked by informative presentations, vibrant roundtable discussions, a meeting of minds, and the shared vision that drives us all. 💫 We are thrilled to share a glimpse into these enriching conversations with a video that encapsulates the essence of our gathering. This isn't just a video; it's a celebration of the collective wisdom that flourishes when we come together. 🤲 Each discussion was a journey through the vast landscape of knowledge that our members cultivate. The energy in the room was palpable as insights were exchanged and new connections forged. This video is a testament to the power of collaboration. You can see the spark ✨ of potential partnerships and the deepening of professional bonds. 💖 It's a reminder that when we unite, we can turn individual strengths into collective power. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all our members who contributed to the dynamic discussions. Your expertise and enthusiasm make our association not just a network but a community. Let's continue to nurture these connections and grow together. Watch, be inspired, and let's keep the conversation going. Because together, we're not just feeding the world, we're nourishing it.

Developed in response to the limitations of traditional stakeholder engagement approaches, TRANSFORM creates inclusive spaces where diverse participants can explore challenges and opportunities through embodied, sensory experiences. By intertwining food-related activities with futures thinking, TRANSFORM transcends conventional foresight tools, emphasizing collective belief in and mapping of pathways toward preferred futures. This approach has enabled stakeholders, from farmers and chefs to policymakers, to engage in candid discussions, break down power dynamics, and collectively envision sustainable development trajectories for their communities. TRANSFORM has been successfully applied in various contexts, including online community gatherings, speculative experiences for corporate executives, and participatory government planning processes. In each case, the methodology has proven effective in fostering authentic dialogue, inspiring action-oriented thinking, and cultivating a shared sense of agency and ownership among participants.

What do a European Senior Vice President and four General Managers talk about in this (short) video that you should not miss? ❓ ...What they have learned by listening to young people!!! Because Marieta Jiménez, Susan King-Barnardo, Thierry Hulot, Matthias Wernicke and Pedro Moura understand that when they make decisions, undertake projects, discuss strategies, analyse results... they must do so from a sustainable perspective. 😎 And no, we are not talking about #sustainability for free here. Sustainable means that what you do today does not compromise the future of those who come after you. And it is impossible to do this exercise without going out and asking the protagonists of this future about their concerns, desires, priorities... 🍀. The future decision-makers, by the way! This is what we have been doing at Merck Group Merck Healthcare for the last three years! And I am the lucky one who has driven it forward with the support and complicity of my Communications colleagues and the CEOs and executives of Merck's 32 markets in Europe. As a real team! 🌺 So I won't spoil what the young Z and Millennials in Europe told us in our Emotional Health Merck Survey ( 📢 https://lnkd.in/e78cncqH). 👀 From Spain, Greece, MERCK France, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany or Portugal...etc. Better let them speak, let you get to know Marieta, Susan, Thierry, Matthias and Pedro a little better. From their commitment, and therefore Merck's, to the protagonists of tomorrow (there will be more, you'll see!). 📯 Special thanks to Rita Reis, Caroline Rossigneux-Méheust, Shenja Schaefer,Iris Buttinoni,Syeda Hasnain-Mohammed,Alba Ruiz Navarro and Mariló Cantón Fernández for making it possible! 💘 👏 #OneVoice #OneEurope #FromEuropeToGlobal #EmotionalHealth #FutureLeaders #YoungGenerations #Sustainability

I am looking forward to moderating tomorrow’s discussion on longevity at the World Innovation Economics in Davos. Why is this topic important? Because longevity isn't just about living longer; it's about living better. In this talk, we will be getting into the science, ethics, and financial implications of extended human lifespans and looking at innovations shaping our future. Whether you're a healthcare profession, an investor, tech enthusiast, or simply someone passionate about the art of living well, I invite you to join us in uncovering the secrets of longevity! #WIE #Longevity #FutureOfHealth #Davos2024 #InnovationLeaders  

FEAR of looking the problems in the face! of speaking up! of addressing what everyone knows! This is an insightful article to a common problem we face in many organizations: The elephant in the room! This is the case for large and small problems. A manager is known to be a bad leader. Everyone knows, his behavior is glaringly wrong. But no one talks about it. The bigger problems are when it affects the complete organization. Everyone knows that things are going on, that are neither ethical nor productive. The problem: NOT addressing it means: no change, no solution! So how can we own up to our problems and start solving them - TOGETHER?
