Chez Serge

My passion is about how Internet is reshaping society, including social and business aspects.

I am doing conferences, teaching, and consultancy for corporate companies on this topic. I consider the Internet as a rupture equivalent to the invention of alphabet, and I show how it impacts business, by empowering communities, by accelerating intangible economy, and by helping customer to enter into a codesign mode.

I do conferences, including for top level corporate executive committees and CEOs, with ethnographical exploration of the web, based on a page which I created containing interesting disruptive web sites.

I always have a passion for innovation. My last one is about Virtual Worlds, which I believe to be one of the next generation of the web; and I am happy to have been welcomed as a strategic advisor for kzero, the leading consultancy company in this domain. I have coedited with Mandy Salomon, from Swinburne University, a special issue of the journal of virtual world research on Virtual economy.

I am also responsible for the government 2.0 part of fondapol, a french think tank about innovation in politics.

I like to create start-up : Highdeal in 1999, for which I opened the business in California, which was sold to SAP in 2009; Commonbox in 2008, sooyoos in 2010. I have invested in Vastpark, which is a very innovative open-source Virtual Worlds platform.

I created in september 2011 Familia Games, a startup which creates games for fun, with a subluminal educative component; smart play as opposed to serious game.

I love to write. I wrote a first book in 2004 published at Le Pommier, “Avec Internet, où allons-nous”. The book is downloadable here. My next book, “Le monde avec Internet” will be published soon.

My french blog is here.

And my wikipedia entry is here !!!!

And, above all, I love music, playing piano, and travel all around the world.
