The notion of competence refers to stable sets of knowledge, reasoning patterns, capacities for action, and typical behaviors. The definitions are numerous, due to the variety of fields of application, but they point to a few common features: reference to tasks, human activities, or problems to be solved in identifiable circumstances; the expected effectiveness of individuals or groups when these tasks, activities, or problems are to be carried out or solved; the structured nature of the processes of mobilizing knowledge, know-how, and behavioral attitudes that ensures effectiveness.

What is conversion in digital marketing?

Conversion, essential in digital marketing, refers to a visitor's action in completing a key objective, such as a purchase or registration. Three elements are fundamental to maximizing conversions: an optimized user experience, with a fast and intuitive website like Amazon's; relevant and personalized messaging, supported by clear pages and effective calls to action; and finally, trust, reinforced by customer reviews or guarantees. Examples like Spotify, Booking.com, and Netflix demonstrate how simplifying the customer journey or creating a sense of urgency can transform visitors into loyal customers. Digital tools, such as A/B testing and heatmaps, facilitate these optimizations. With artificial intelligence, companies like Google and IBM Watson further personalize experiences, increasing conversion rates. Conversion, far more than just an indicator, is now a key method for transforming intent into concrete action.

What is growth hacking?

Growth hacking is a method focused on rapid business growth that combines marketing, innovation, and agile experimentation. Popularized by Sean Ellis in 2010, it is based on five key stages of the customer journey: Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, and Referrals. Companies like Airbnb, Revolut, and Spotify use this approach to attract, retain, and turn their users into brand ambassadors. With artificial intelligence, growth hacking is evolving, leveraging innovative tools to optimize targeting, automate tasks, and maximize ROI. This creative and data-driven methodology has become essential for companies seeking to accelerate their growth.

What is inbound marketing?

Inbound marketing is a strategy that attracts consumers with relevant and non-intrusive content, rather than soliciting them through aggressive advertising. Popularized by HubSpot in 2006, this method is based on three key steps: attracting visitors with quality content, engaging these visitors through personalized interactions, and building customer loyalty by turning them into brand ambassadors. It uses techniques such as search engine optimization (SEO), email automation, and landing pages. Artificial intelligence enhances its effectiveness by making campaigns more personalized and engaging. This sustainable strategy puts the consumer at the heart of marketing efforts, while providing businesses with a powerful tool for developing strong and lasting relationships.

What is retail media?

Retail media is a key driver of commerce, projected to represent 25% of digital advertising by 2026 according to BCG. It encompasses advertising strategies deployed by brands on retailers' websites, mobile apps, and physical stores to reach consumers just before or during their purchases. This provides increased visibility for brands and allows retailers to monetize their customer data. Present across all retail sectors, retail media is multi-channel, including formats such as banners, native advertising, and video. Ads can be displayed on the retailer's website (on-site) to drive sales or on partner sites (off-site) for retargeting. The market, dominated by players like Amazon and Alibaba, relies on precise data collection and sophisticated targeting tools.

Artificial Intelligence in recruitment : Is ethics a lever for Business Attractiveness?

More organizations use AI in the hiring process than ever before, yet the perceived ethicality of such processes seems to be mixed. With such variation in our views of AI in hiring, we need to understand how these perceptions impact the organizations that use it. In two studies, we investigate how ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness and innovativeness. Our findings indicate that ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are positively related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness, both directly and indirectly via perceptions of innovativeness, with variations depending on the type of hiring method used. For instance, we find that individuals who consider it ethical for organizations to use AI in ways often considered to be intrusive to privacy, such as analyzing social media content, view such organizations as both more innovative and attractive.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

What is Hyper-Performance?

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.
