We aim at being a reference research and training institute on the future of the World of Work as it impacts corporations and their strategies.
Founded in 2004, the Boostzone Institute stemmed from the will to understand and forecast how the evolution of the World of Work and in particular the emergence of Network-Centric Management is going to bring a sea change in the management of organizations. Its founding members are all professionals of Human Capital management, Networks and Community management, Technology management and Strategic management.
In essence, the Boostzone Institute is a community of managers and experts who believe that globalization and collaboration technology are transforming the economy and the society in fundamental ways, that networks and communities are becoming the central driving force of business, and that all managers should strive to have a deeper understanding of how networks and communities can be governed.

The Boostzone Institute focuses on business transformation issues. We strive to build a shared understanding of how vertical organizations of the industrial age can be made to morph into global networked organizations. Our goal is to help our members create sustainable competitive advantage in their organizations and develop their practice of “Network-Centric Management” through a better understanding of the evolution of the World of Work.

The Boostzone Institute helps its members share their experience, make progress together and assist each other in the complex task of transforming their organizations into networked organizations.

This is done through several types of activities :

Le Séminaire is a small thinktank -on the future of the World of Work in a world dominated by networks and communities — where each session’s subject is introduced briefly by one of the participants; the other participants are then expected to come prepared and to enrich the discussion. The output of the “Le Séminaire” is a better understanding of the issues, possibly suggestions for research topics to be launched by the Institute. (click here for the programme)
Business breakfasts around thought leaders or Knowledge Cafés. We organize thought-provoking presentations and Q/A sessions around recognized experts or three hour working sessions around a hot topic where the knowledge of all participants has been shared, captured and summarized in a reusable working document;
Technology watch. We organize and lead an intelligence community who monitors emerging collaboration technologies. We also have a sophisticated social bookmarking system;
Technology sandbox. We allow full-scale experimentation of collaborative tools to external groups
Peer reviews. Within closed communities of peers governed by stringent non-compete agreements, we organize the peer reviewing of the network / community initiatives of our members as a shared learning experience;
Sponsored Projects. We organize specific knowledge-sharing meetings and /or research around a specific business issue for the benefit of sponsoring organizations. Our value-add is our ability to gather some of the best experts and to produce a high quality collaboration experience;
Documents and Library. We provide our members with the latest researches and documents on our field;
Publications. BestOfs, Research papers, Essays.
Courses. Programmes about collaborative management and the Future of the World of Work;
