During my interview with Cyrille Adam, I was asked THE classic trap question:
"Who does it better, the DSI or the Digital Factory?"
My answer is simple: neither better nor worse. Just... different 😎
👉 It's not a competition.
👉 It's not a rivalry.
👉 It's not the same context, not the same challenges, not the same metrics.
DSI is the foundation, industrialization, resilience.
Digital Factory is about customer impact, fast iterations, usage-driven innovation.
One does not replace the other.
They must coexist intelligently, with adapted operating models, clear interfaces, and strengthened feedback loops.
This has been one of my key battles over the past two years, and it has paid off:
✔ Moving away from opposition mindsets.
✔ Establishing a culture of complementarity.
✔ Creating the right porosities between teams.
✔ Respecting each other's constraints while staying aligned on customer impact.
💡 This approach? Let's call it "reasoned hybridization": orchestrating platforms, organizations, human agents & AI without trying to oversimplify what is... complex.
And if you've been following me for a while, I already talked about this complementarity a few months ago
🔗 For those interested, I share a concrete feedback on this transformation at Bpifrance in the interview 👇
Next time someone talks about competition, remember: it's two sides of the same coin, two energies that, when well-orchestrated, allow our organizations to reinvent themselves.
And by the way, at Bpifrance, this coin has a name: Bpifrance.io
