Sean Fitzpatrick - New Zealand first Rugby World Cup winner in 1987
The story of rugby is a story of transformation from humble beginnings to a global stage. When I first pulled on the New Zealand jersey, I stepped onto the field at the first Rugby World Cup. The game was not yet professional.
We played for the love of sport and for each other.
We were bound together by unwavering values. Trust, respect, passion, solidarity and team spirit. As Captain, I understood that inspiration. It was contagious. The sport has evolved. The players, the coaches, the fans have grown together. Technology has helped us drive the game to new heights. To get the future we want. Every element of performance is now measured, evaluated enhanced and improved.
The game is faster. The momentum greater. The margins tighten. It has stirred the emotions of fans across the globe and raised international superstars. Capgemini has been a passionate supporter of the game for over 30 years. As a worldwide partner of Rugby World Cup, France, 2023, Capgemini continues to enable the evolution of the game because whilst technology has changed the sport forever, the values of the game remain steadfast.
Trust respect, passion, solidarity and team spirit. True values shared by rugby and Capgemini.
Inclusion: digital for all
Our teams are passionately committed to bridging the digital divide. Mentoring young people in Poland, digital training for girls in Southeast Asia and Morocco... our actions have a concrete impact.
Our talent, our priority
“Diversity creates value within the firm. More diversity will make Capgemini more innovative and rich – so it’s a real conviction we’re working with, rather than doing it just because it sounds good.”
Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer
“Learning is at the heart of our people agenda. We launched our learning platform in 2020 and it has been going strong ever since. Today, more than 95% of our people use it regularly.”
Anne Lebel, Chief Human Resources Officer
Innovate for tomorrow
Kian Seah – CEO of Heng Hiap Industries
My name is Kian Seah. I'm the CEO of Heng Hiap Industries Malaysia. Heng Hiap is an integrated plastic recycling company that works with 28,000 domestic plastic recyclers to convert plastic scrap and upcycle that to high performance plastic using our in-house smart waste technology. Eco-conscious users will have a critical role in deciding how plastic products are being made in the future.
Essentially, the user wants to know three things. What is the recycled content in the product that I'm using? What is the recycled content and where do they come from? And number three is where do this plastic product go after use? With the digital transformation, we can enable a smart recycling model that allows the users to do all three mentioned above. and the eco-conscious users start to look for a tool which can help their journey in becoming true, conscientious consumers.
And we believe our tool is the solution to achieve this goal. Together with Capgemini, we built a five-year model based on regional scalability, sustainability landscape and recycling-made-easy features. In the midst of pandemic, we managed to make insightful progress through design thinking via digital mural. We conducted multiple workshop to design the mobile apps and build future roadmaps, which include app features, functional flow, high level screen design and iteration roadmaps.
Kian Seah presents the screens of the application: onboarding is simplified, interactive games are present with a swipe system, dashboards are more intuitive, the possibility of booking trips, information on recycling, means payment facilities, work planning and a section dedicated to help and resources.
We were pleasantly surprised of how much we can achieve digitally. I think continuous education is important in order to motivate behavioural change in consumption and also to enable data collection. Once the users know that their efforts in plastic recycling are done properly through transparency, traceability and visibility of the entire lifecycle, they will be motivated to become more involved in ensuring the full circularity of the plastic consumed.
A noteworthy moment for me was during the design thinking phase where the extended Heng Hiap team comes together with the Capgemini team which involves the AIE, the ASE, the Digital Customer Experience team,
Capgemini Design Studios team. And we started going back and forth, learning from the past experience, rethinking current best practices, and imagine the future relationship of plastic consumption and also with its user. We need Capgemini as an innovation venture partner for regional expansion, particularly in the other seven Southeast Asian countries, which are also on the top ten ocean pollution list.
We notice the similar fragmented landscape and the hidden treasure of informal and independent grass root recyclers in this ecosystem. In short, we want to scale regionally together while making global impacts together, to combat plastic pollution together.
Steinar Danielsen – Sustainability Lead, Volvo Car Mobility
We at Volvo Car Mobility have provided a service called M, where we are offering the access of cars instead of ownership of cars.
We start with three simple questions: when do you need a car? Where would you like it? And what type of car do you want?
And from there our algorithms match the right car with the right customer. And that data-driven approach that we have allows us to get more people into fewer electric cars with a higher level of satisfaction.
We at Volvo Car Mobility are passionate about our planet and contributing to a more sustainable future. That’s why we work with partners who not only participate, but also actively expand the sustainability conversation.
So we partnered with Capgemini Invent to understand the impact of our business model in the cities where we operate.
And we’re really pleased to find out that our service provides impact on all three pillars of sustainability. Both environmental, economic and also social sustainability.
Capgemini Invent’s data-driven insights have really helped us make everyday decisions that further enhance the positive sustainability effects of our service.
We have worked closely with their team, and the success of the project has really come from everybody’s voice and skills coming together as one.
