UltraPerformance, the day everything changed…
March 28, 2015… in a few minutes my life will change and never be the same again. I’m standing at the top of a snow speed track, wearing ice crampons on a 45 degree slope, ready to set the start for a new world speed record. I am waiting for the verdict. The conditions are Dantesque, a few seconds will sum up three years of my life which, at this precise moment, bring Eric Barone to this absolute record of 223,30Km/h on a bike. The machine that I am loses control of its emotions and I realize, in tears, that I will never again be able to be satisfied with pure performance.
My life then shifted towards a more balanced approach, that of UltraPerformance, which combines the technical dimension with human fulfillment.
A book about UltraPerformance, uniting Technology, Humanity and Eco-responsibility!
So why not project ourselves into a new paradigm in which people can flourish in their activity while “performing” and respecting our environment? A sustainable world where Technological Innovation, High Performance and Ecoresponsibility come together.
What can we learn from teams operating in complex environments like in the current Zephir Project? What hidden resources do we still have available to effectively meet the challenge?
Is technology a danger or an opportunity? These are just some of the questions I’m tackling through my personal and professional experiences, and through encounters that have left their mark on me.
A book to propose solutions to the uncompromising equation of this “new” world.
The effect of the 2020 pandemic has been further reinforced: tomorrow’s organizations will have to produce better, in an increasingly demanding environment, for the benefit of as many people as possible, using far fewer natural resources, and even having a positive balance.
This complex equation requires our structures to review their fundamental operating principles. This book about UltraPerformance has been written to contribute to this world of tomorrow.
