Anticipation system and metamorphosis of organisations
Philippe Durance, Régine Monti

This book of prospective starts from a double question:

1/ How did the century-old companies and large groups acquire this lifespan?

2/ How do these organizations manage to find a balance between change and continuity?

Starting from this questioning, the authors examine the means, methods and formulas that these organizations use to anticipate. The objective is to draw up a typology of "systems of anticipation".

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY REPORT N° 1055
Rapporteur spécial : M. FRANÇOIS CORNUT-GENTILLE

I. THE DIFFICULT ASSESSMENT OF THE DEFENCE MISSION

The present report evaluating the implementation of the 2017 appropriations for the defence mission is in line with the desire of the National Assembly's Finance Committee to strengthen the evaluation of public policies during the examination of the settlement law. This virtuous approach, which the Special Rapporteur has been calling for many years, has resulted in the hearing of each minister on their ministry's 2017 assessment.

on the challenges of digitizing armies
MM. OLIVIER BECHT ET THOMAS GASSILLOUD, Députés

INTRODUCTION & RECOMMENDATIONS :Whatever name we give it, "digital revolution", "datafication" of the world, "datafication", "datafication", "datafication", "datafication", "datafication", "datafication", "datafication", "datafication". digital transition" or simply "digitization", networked data sharing and processing is a must for everyone:

  • States as individuals, companies as public organizations
  • In all fields of human activity
  • From the most mundane everyday tasks to the most advanced business applications.

More than just technology, it is a phenomenon that underpins and profoundly transforms our societies; it is a whole way of life that changes with technology. In this respect, perhaps it is not too much to speak of a "revolution".

SENATE REPORT N° 476
M. Christian CAMBON, Sénateur

AN LPM OF INTENT, THE CHALLENGE OF WHICH WILL BE THE CORRECT APPLICATION


The commission passed this bill because of the inflection that it finally comes (recovery of resources after years of attrition) and on the basis of its intentions, which are good (means at "human level", restoration of a worn-out potential, integration of innovation). However, it is lucid about the fragilities, gaps and challenges of this military programming, the commission considers that the challenge will be its proper implementation. The The role of Parliament, and of the Senate in particular, will be essential in overseeing it.

Tomorrow to dominate the opponent: What will it mean to win? Published on 16/05/2018

extract from ACTION TERRESTRE FUTURE
État-major de l’armée de Terre Paris
In the literal sense of the word, to win means to subdue an adversary by arms, possibly to the point of physical destruction. This seemingly simple definition hides considerable challenges. The conflicts at the beginning of this century revealed this perfectly. Not only is political success now difficult to achieve through military action alone, but the adversary has proved his manoeuvring skills, in the sense that he can once again avoid the effects of power by combining the use of weapons with the use of force.a fierce will, a stubborn patience, a deep intelligence of the different levels of warfare - from tactical to strategic - combined with a perfect mastery of the art of concealment and propaganda.

The need for an armyPublished on 15/05/2018

extract from ACTION TERRESTRE FUTURE
État-major de l’armée de Terre Paris

Engagement on and near the ground aims at physically dominating the enemy and taking moral ascendancy over him, until his destruction if necessary. In the future, this confrontation will continue to take place in the state of confusion that distinguishes the land environment. However, the inherently chaotic nature of the conflicts will be amplified by foreseeable changes in the defence environment and the likely hardening of the conditions for air-land engagement. This transformation is already marking our times and is gradually changing the purpose of our military interventions.

Rereading Of The Clausewitz War Published on 09/04/2018

Free Reflection
Chef de bataillon Valéry Putz – 118e promotion du CSEM

Surprisingly rich but paradoxically little known, "On War" proposes a description, and not a prescription of war by Clausewitz for whom theory is an observation, not a doctrine. The modernity of the work and its importance in the current strategic debate naturally makes it the possible and desirable leaven of a European defence doctrine.

Comments: Battalion Commander - BEAUDOIN Hubert - 121st promotion
Michel GOYA

In this book, the author analyses in detail the effort to adapt the means and methods of combat during the First World War.

The battle of PENANGPublished on 01/03/2017

Earth Thought Notebooks
John R. Robertson

Penang, island of dreams with its soft hills with waterfalls and its blond beaches, at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. In 1786, the British soon made it their own, renaming it "Prince of Wales Island", with Georgetown as its capital, designed by the indefatigable Colonel Light, starting from the small pre-existing Sino-Malaysian town, on the edge of a beautiful harbour with a comfortable draught, easy to watch and protect...

Future Land ActionPublished on 27/02/2017

Ministry of Defense
Etat-major de l'armée de Terre

The French were used to seeing their soldiers in battle ... through their television sets! They would are now being deployed in the streets, on the beaches, around sensitive areas. The war, whose form is certainly one of the most successful phenomena of globalization, is now one of the most important imported to our soil. It passed through the plasma screen that contained it. She's back, more violent, more... complex, more subtle, more blind...
