THE INNOVATION PLATFORM
The working world is changing dramatically: digital technology has shaken up traditional hierarchies, deconstructed the relationship between individuals and companies, reinvented new learning formats, put the focus on people and the quest for meaningful work, and changed the playing field in terms of access to employment.
RHIZOME, the Paris&Co innovation platform dedicated to new working trends and HR transformation, is launching a call for applications to recruit the 2018 class of its incubation program. The program offers a wide range of services to startups and entrepreneurs: mentorship, coaching, access to financing, networking with major corporates, conference rooms, co-working spaces, etc.
> The Rhizome theory — developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari — is a philosophical concept of “French Theory”, a post-modern work of philosophical, literary and social theories. It refers to a structure that is constantly evolving horizontally, that streamlines itself by eliminating levels, in opposition to hierarchical, pyramid-type structures.
INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGIES AND USAGES
Independently of their field of application to the RH professions, the solutions chosen must be adapted to the following innovations in new technologies and usages: |
- enhance employee experience: both user-friendly for RH professionals, and to deliver smoothly functioning RH services to employees
- integrate the software ecosystem: can easily integrate internal information systems such as SIRH, as well as existing B2C services external to the organization
- ensure ethical data management: add value by bringing new services to HR, managers and employees, while respecting a data management code of ethics
