“Vulnerability is something machines will never have.”
In a world in turmoil—climate change, economic crises, social tensions—the idea of a strong and invincible company is becoming increasingly fragile.
The opinion piece “Entreprises, osons la vulnérabilité !” (Businesses, let’s embrace vulnerability!), published in Les Échos and supported by a coalition of committed actors, including Citizen Capital, proposes a radically different approach: recognizing vulnerability as a lever for transformation and resilience.
Why this message is essential today
The climate emergency, economic disruptions, and the loss of meaning in our organizations render the idea of performance measured solely in numbers obsolete. Embracing our limitations—human, ecological, structural—opens the door to innovation, trust, and collective intelligence.
What makes this forum unique
Faced with this crisis of meaning, the authors call for the rebuilding of three pillars :
- Leadership that values authenticity over posturing
- A reconfigured performance model that aligns economic results with collective well-being;
- A renewed management style, where vulnerability becomes a driver of creativity and engagement.
