Two weeks ago, I was back in Brussels and, with Mic, we’ve had the chance to meet Jean-Yves Huwart for an interview.
Jean-Yves is the economic journalist behind the blog and think tank Entreprise Globale or Globe Corp in its English version.
He tries, through his articles and interviews, to define how deeply globalization is changing the culture inside companies, from large corporations to start-ups like us.
If you follow us from the beginning, you might know that our office is in Belgium but that I live in India (Even before creating BeeBole).
Before that, we also lead an outsourcing team based in 3 countries: Belgium, Malaysia and Morocco.
This was enough to become a nice case study for Jean-Yves.
The interview is actually in French, but an English version is coming out soon.
Interview (in French)
The subjects covered in the French interview are:
- How do we handle the 9000 km distance for our every day tasks
- Why didn’t we use outsourcing for developments (even in India)
- How do we keep innovation going on in a decentralized structure
- Why is it an advantage to be a European startup in a globalized world
- Why do we consider users feedback as the best business plan
I hope to get my hands on the English version very soon, however, if one of these subjects is already giving you some ideas, I would really be happy to share them with you in English in the comments hereunder.
Thank you again Jean-Yves. This was fun.
