Pierre Pezziardi, French government incubator
Successful Lean startups inside large national administrations: the French government recipe
Since June 2013, Pierre has been mentoring more than 10 state startup teams inside the French administrations. Solving real world issues, they impact public procurement (Marchés Publics Simplifiés), social aids (mes-aides.gouv.fr), big data ressources (adresse.data.gouv.fr) or even taxis. Discover how Lean startup techniques can fit in such large organizations, and learn how our Government incubator manifesto can help you replicate a radical innovation factory inside your own corporation.Biography:Entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker. Pierre promotes the idea of "convivial computing": systems aimed at empowering people, opening up pyramidal organizations by supporting self organized communities. In 1998 he co-founded OCTO Technology, a leading IT consulting firm in France, and originated the USI conference, gathering since 2008 a community of leaders in large corporate Information Systems. In 2005, he founded OpenCBS, the leading Open Source Platform for the microfinance industry. OpenCBS is a worldwide community of practitioners in Lean and Agile methods, applied towards a better affordability of financial services to the poors. In 2011, he joined KissKissBankBank as a partner and gave birth to hellomerci.com "borrow from those who care". He is now leading a "national startups" incubator inside the French Administration that gave birth to radical innovations such as data.gouv.fr, Marchés Publics Simplifiés or mes-aides.gouv.fr ...
