And yes, it's been almost a year since the SprintProject adventure began, officially at least.<\/p>\n
In 1 year, so much has happened.<\/p>\n
This collaborative model was first born in my brain, challenged by that of Herv\u00e9 DECHENE and quickly accompanied by that of Jean-Luc LENART. Then, a group of mentors, experts and partners was created around it, you were among them!<\/p>\n
What implacable logic to try to support our sector by uniting companies around the subjects of open innovation.<\/p>\n
Almost 1 year, and we've come a long way.<\/p>\n
Our first partners, DB Schenker, GS1 France, EOL, Id Invest and ZTP gave us momentum, since followed by Generix Group, Savoye, FM Logistique, STEF and B2PWeb. With them we created \u201cThe Club\u201d, a group of leaders, committed to our side at all times.<\/p>\n
With the club members, we have implemented our structured monitoring and economic intelligence organization. To date, more than 235 innovations have been detected and more than 50 startups have been received during startup sittings, companies whose model has been qualified and some of which have already found areas of experimentation with our members. The best will be offered to enter our industrialization process, the \u201cHyperdrive\u201d, at the end of the year, selected by Club members and monitored by Sprint Project.<\/p>\n
At the same time, we have developed our tools to improve our knowledge.<\/p>\n
To support our growth, the team expanded with the arrivals in the first half of Audrey ZUGMEYER, in charge of commercial development and the organization of events, then Yolaine de Courson (formerly DG Finance of GeoPost among others) to the position of Board Advisory.<\/p>\n
To welcome the team, our club members and startups, we inaugurated premises in the 9th arrondissement of Paris in March. At the same time, with the help of the Asap teams, our site has been given a makeover and we have added a blog and a newsletter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And now ?<\/p>\n
The club itself will expand with the arrival of new high-level members.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the team will continue to expand in order to be more and more effective in our missions.<\/p>\n
The next learning expedition in January at CES 2019 is almost complete. This year, we are joining a French-speaking collective of more than 400 people, grouped into 13 skill groups. Sprint Project will represent supply chain professions in this community.<\/p>\n
We will also announce the launch of training specific to our professions and specially designed for our members.<\/p>\n
With monitoring of the French market in place, we will begin to expand the spectrum to Europe. We have also started compiling data on the US and Asian markets.<\/p>\n
Finally, we are preparing a big event for early 2019, wait and see\u2026<\/p>\n
As you understand from reading these few lines, the first part of 2018 was sporty, and it goes without saying that the coming months will progress at Sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n
